    Milicic is actually pretty talented ... unfortunately none of those talents make him much of an NBA center.

    The huge expectations that were put on him has been his downfall. He is talented and could be a fairly good center, but when your the #2 pick in one of the best drafts ever, there isn't a lot of room for you to be allowed to "grow" aka suck for a bit and keep getting nice minutes.

    Why would you want a guy who picks up DNP-CDs like LeBron has lately? If his coach isn't willing to play him as the playoffs approach, that's a pretty big sign. Darko, meanwhile, is the central cog in the Twolves juggernaut.

    Sad. This is Darko's 7th year in the league and his career high is 21 points.

    There is no "I" in Darko. He's all about his teammates.

    He has a bright future. I see light at the end of the tunnel for Darko.

    He's still only like 21, despite being like a 10 year veteran.

    I ran to the store to buy a calculator to help. Let's see..you're right, he was 6.

    As for the video, I spent the whole 5 minutes trying to figure it out and had 2 problems. I still don't see how a chicken becomes "the" and I thought the tunnel was either an armadillo or a bodyless smurf.
