Sports Illustrated Interview with Darko Milicic

Bam!

Not a lot of new stuff but still interesting.

I swear if Darko turns his game around, he'll be one of the most perplexing players in the League worthy of a 30 for 30 documentary. (he wouldn't have to be all start to merit one either, his career arc is just bizarre).

The last part of the interview really impressed me. Solid attitude on his part.

Thanks for posting the link.

Whats up with him actually? How serious is his injury and how long will he be out for?

I think he helps our defence a lot and we need him back ASAP in order to be competitive.

Wow, what a sweetheart:
But as long as my wife is happy. I'm fine.


But my favorite part is this:
I had a meeting with [general manager] David Kahn, which lasted about 35 seconds. He saw me in the locker room and said, "I believe in you, don't worry about it. Just keep playing hard and you'll start making your shots."


Boy, Kahn sounds like a real a-hole. He's gonna be a flop as a GM. :roll:

I love this guy, I really do. I'm so glad he's proving people wrong, he deserves it more than anyone. Forza Darko!

I was hoping for more out of the interview, 2 pieces of info I'm really curious about:

1) how close is this Wolves team? (I know they are close but the more stories the better)
2) how hard are guys like Darko willing to work in the off-season to improve?
