Re: Darko's Value

Darko must have a defiant streak in him.

From what I have gleaned, there does not seem to be any animosity between Pau and DMC. Those remarks were in the excitement of the upcoming Euros and had nothing to do with Memphis. Probably if Darko had known at the time he was going to Memphis, he probably would not have said what he did.

With DMC's sense of team-first play, Pau should increase his stats, just as Dwight did. Dwight scored and rebounded better with Darko on the floor. But hopefully, Pau will understand this more than Dwight did.

I just hope that whatever Darko does that pisses everyone off when he joins a new team, he stops doing.
I like Dwight. I cheered him on for a season and a half. But if its true that he would not share the limelight-he is pretty much worthless. Its championships that matter in the long run, not your individual stats.

Re: Darko's Value

Yeah, you show up first for practice, and are the last one to leave. It does tend to show people up. But those people insecure about this-hey, Darko only knows one thing-practice, practice, practice. Thats his life. Understand, and appreciate it.

And if the person reading does not understand this-it was Ben he was showing up as far as his stay in Detroit-Ben use to be the first to practice, last to leave. He did not take kindly to Darko outdoing him.

Re: Darko's Value

So, from what I gather from this conversation Darko's main problem is that he shows up to practice too early and doesn't leave soon enough?

With that much practice time it's no wonder he has a career shooting percentage of .444. Pretty damn good for a big man. Even Ben Wallace, the renound shooter that he is, can only muster a .479 career shooting percentage. Impressive.

i'll help you out. darko seems to come to a team and own the wrong people in practice. the big men with ego's don't seem to like darko's steady improvement. so while the player darko pisses off is better at the time they can feel darko looking over their shoulder. a few choice words to management plus contract issues and darko is gone.

he's played a style of basketball that doesn't fit his skill set since he's been in the league. he's had coaches that pulled him out of the game after one miss. confidence and comfort is a big part of shooting.

imagine what ben's shooting percentage would be if he's was forced to be an outside only player.

Wouldn't it go easier on Darko then...if he just pretended he was a bad player? He is so good it just makes people mad.

Re: Darko's Value

I think we aren't far away from Darko being blacklisted by all of the frontcourt players in the league. The NBA power forwards and the centers are going to band together and try to keep the superstar Serb from stealing the thunder. It really is just unfair to Darko that he is so good.
