OT: The Odd World of Sports -- Darko Milicic edition
Well, not much to really say about this other than watch the video.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/here-s-a-shirtless-dark…
For those who need more incentive -- it's a video of a shirtless Darko singing and giving beer to his tattoos, as the URL suggests.
We've all been there.
Fuck that guy and fuck Joe D for drafting him. I know they won a championship and if they drafted Melo who knows, but he will go down as one of the biggest draft busts in the history of the NBA. That draft produced so many all star franchise players and we chose him.
Melo's on my Knicks... you can have him, but no givesy backsies
Yeah Darko should apologize for having the nerve to breath the same air that we breath...
Huh. I guess I never was upset with him. I mean, it's not his fault he was widely and highly overrated. Blame Joe D for a bad pick, even though at the time a lot of so called experts were on the bandwagon, but darko was just a kid trying to get paid.
As much as I would also like to blame Joe, which I still will, but Ryan Leaf and Tony Mandrich were also can't miss prospects and many thought Ryan was better than Peyton Manning.
But neither won the Heisman!!!
NFL didn't drug test mandarich would have been the best olineman ever!!! oh wait they do...
Randy Moss just not giving a fuck.
+1 - your right, as that sort was his attitude in college and in the pros.
I remember watching the lottery with my roommate and being so pumped the Pistons landed that pick. Then David Aldridge gets on camera and the first question he asked Dumars was, "It's Darko, right?" My roommate and I looked at each other and we said "Who?"

You pays your money and you takes your chances.
This is worth reading, then.

but was he working out alone, just doing random drills. if he wasn't competing against against anyone, it's easy to see his they were given a false impression.
a guy I've ever wished was a Piston.
This is the only way it could have ended, right?
Kid could have been a competent NBA player, but he seems to be pretty happy being a giant kickboxer and tattoo afficionado.
Be more than a tattoo.
I'd drink beers with Darko.
Amen
Isn't he a kickboxer or something now? The fact that he can't even compete in the EURO league at this point shows you how much his heart was in hoops. Kid got paid and that was the end of it for him.
He retired from basketball in 2012. I don't think he had any intentions of continuing his career after leaving the NBA. If he was in it just for the money, he would have left basketball after his first or second contract expired. Guy averaged 20+mpg in 5 different seasons. He very easily could have been a good Euro league player for yearsif he wanted to.
So what if he did? People act like he's supposed to feel sorry for being paid. If the NBA offered anyone here millions of dollars, no one's just going to say "Oh well thanks for the offer, but I'm 31 and just an average dude. You should sign someone else. I really wouldn't want to disappoint some fans."
Well that was the dumb decision that Joe D made with the pistons.
More like one of many dumb desions.
He played in a grand total of 48 games against European competition, and he wasn't a starter in all of those games, either. That's an incredibly thin resume to draft with the second pick overall. In fact, it's fucking nuts.
That's broke and depressed. Sad...
I have no idea how you've come to that conclusion.
He looks a bit bloated from drinking, but he doesn't sound depressed. Maybe he just got to a point where basketball wasn't the most important thing in his life. it happens.
Maybe he'll join the WWE next...

LOL ever heard it before? It's this nutty synthesizer techno-folk hybrid music with scantily-clad female singers and "kill them all" ultra-nationalist Serbian lyrics. Madness.

are of some pretty shady dudes. He's got two more on his back and they are all either former Nazi sympathizers or pro ethnic cleansers. Fuck him in the face.

I guess I didn't know he was not in the NBA.
Darko, Darko, Darko!!!
For the win
