This is not like the Ty Cobb question is it?

When a reporter asked Cobb a few years before he died how much he thought he would hit if he played then rather then when he did and Cobb's answer was. "Only about .300" and then he said with a straight face. "But you have to realize that I am now over 60 years old."

At this point I would rather have Darko.

On the other hand if Thorpe were Darko's age I would rather have Thorpe.

Darko's value just went to 0 in my opinion. Threatening to rape the wife and daughters of refs. Unbelievable. I say ban him from the NBA. That's much worse than killing a canine.

Does anyone have a link to these comments? I hadn't heard this story.

I certainly would not want him dating any female relatives or friends of mine that is for sure.

There are currently rumors swirling in the international press that Darko will be heavily fined by FIBA and possibly banned for a year. This has nothing to do with the NBA, obviously, but this whole episode builds on the myth of the Serbian Gangster.

I hear Stephon Marbury was supportive of Darko:

There is a link on Free Darko in the comments, under the Free Amir post.

There was a good translation (readable) on the Grizzlies website, but the moderators kept removing it, and then they closed the thread.

the comments have translations from multiple peopleses. DArko doesn't deserve forgiveness. He deserves punishment. mete it out and we can all move on.

There is no excuse for the tirade he spewed out. I liked him a lot better when he knew how to keep his mouth shut. He has done major harm to his career.

He should apologize, naturally, but this should not be enough for us to all just move on. He has taken a giant step back and should be punished by the Euro league for this misadventure.
