OT: Milicic Could Have Been Awesome and Dumars Sucks!

[KyletheDingbat]

And I'm not talking about basketball. Darko could have owned one of the most awesome moments in sports history.

""When you get a special talent like this, and it comes at that size, it's almost impossible to pass on that," Dumars, Detroit's president of basketball operations, told reporters upon drafting Milicic. "As special as I think Carmelo Anthony is, I do believe there will be other great 6-8 small forwards who will come around. But when the opportunity comes to get a 7-1 player with that kind of ability, you don't pass it up." Dumars did not. But the red flags came early for Milicic. When he relayed his idea of wearing a suit to the draft and then ripping if off — Superman-style — upon his name being announced, revealing a Pistons jersey, Dumars wisely cautioned against it. It was then that the doubts began to creep into Dumars's head. Milicic would become an NBA wanderer, never reaching his potential. Now, with Anthony, Wade, and Bosh still thriving in the league, Milicic is out of it."
