Darko throwing some finals salvos out at the NBA and the Pistons as he visits Detroit as a member of the Knicks bench.
Milicic, the second overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft, said the Pistons lied to him. But he also said they are not the only ones.
"Yes, they did," Milicic said. "They lie to everybody. It's the NBA. The NBA, all around the league, same (garbage). 'Your chance is going to come.' All that kind of (garbage). (Forget) that.
"I've got enough of that kind of stuff, so I decided I'm going to Europe."
I love this last part of the article as well.
On the same day Milicic made a stop in Detroit, an ESPN writer named him the worst NBA draft pick of the decade.
Chad Ford, who covers the NBA for "ESPN Insider" and appears regularly on ESPN Radio and ESPN News, ranked the worst 10 picks of the decade and listed Milicic first.
"Longtime Pistons scout Will Robinson (the guy who discovered Joe Dumars and Grant Hill) compared him to a young Wilt Chamberlain," Ford wrote. "The Pistons were so enthralled that they ended up drafting Milicic ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade."
Kind of ironic Chad Ford calling out the scout, because if I recall correctly Ford was extremely high on Darko himself.
