Show me the link to a translation that was that specific. I think a lot of people are just making stuff up. I have been reading translations extensively over at the Grizz forum. I can't refer you to that since they have deleted the thread. Basically, Darko was cussing up a storm. Sure, there is a translation. But the most correct one is that he was swearing and cussing, blowing off steam, and there simply was not much more to it. Certainly nothing meant seriously by Darko.

Quite unacceptable, just as if you were to start taping the conversations in the locker rooms of this country after a loss. Care to wager how well it would be accepted if some of what Larry Brown was yelling at Darko in practice if it got taped and released to the public? I will give this one excuse for Darko cussing. He learned from the master.

Well...I have to disagree with you on that last statement. I think that in general, merely saying something is vile while actually doing a deed is much worse...but I see your point. Darko should not be let off and I hope the punishment is severe.

I didn't like Darko very much before, but I'm glad he did this because it removes any lingering doubt I had about him. Now there is absolutely no question in my mind that he is a spoiled self-centered overpaid brat.

I hope that those people that avidly supported this (insert expletive) stick finally get off the Darko bandwagon, because the wagon is filled with (insert same expletive).

No its not. Believe what you want. And by the way, I will still continue to watch every game Darko plays.

The difference is that its public. if LB said that in public, he would be crucified. IF Darko said that behind closed doors and it leaked out...that would not warrant anything at all. But Darko apparently made those comments public. Amir can flip the bird in his pool and that ain't the same as Vick doing the same thing to fans at a game.

LB knows Serbian? Seriously though don't blame this on LB. He's a grown man it's not like Larry Brown raised him as a child. If anything he learned it from Sheed, but Sheed doesn't even take it that far. Sheed is very open, but he is not dumb enough to lose control in a press conference/interview.

Re: Darko's Value

It always nice when your the GM of your new team is forced to make a public statement about your actions before you've even suited up for the preseason.

Griz unhappy after Milicic outburst

Quote:
Griz general manager Chris Wallace and head coach Marc Iavaroni spoke with Milicic via telephone Thursday, and admonished the 7-footer about his threatening and distasteful interview following a loss to Greece.

“We’re very displeased with Darko’s actions and comments,” Wallace said. “It’s an emotional situation playing in national competition, particularly with Serbia, because they take pride in having good teams. But Darko has to be in control of his emotions.”
