The Story of Darko: A Video History

I intended to post this at a more appropriate time, riding the wave of Darko-inspired optimism. But after the Phoenix loss, I figured a little cheering up with some video highlights is just what the doctor ordered. All signs point to Darko returning to Europe next year, but just forget that for a moment and enjoy what an in-shape Darko can do.

Say this about Darko...

The guy moves his feet and stays between the ball and the hoop. Do that and you’re at least playing decent defense. Then doing what needs to done to stop the ball puts you near the top of the list. Darko may not be the best defender, but he’s always in position to do something, and often does it.

Go Darko! Go Darko! But don’t go to Europe!

Jefferson? He needs to move his feet more to stay between the ball and the hoop.
Hollins? He moves his feet but he needs to know where the ball and the hoop are.
Jawai? He just needs more burn? What is going on with him now?

for the video history

Its not in NBA but on the WorldChampionships. It is against NBA players like Ginobili, Scola, and co. It’s one of his better games.

This is how Darko plays for a coach that believes in him. I really hope Rambis can make him play like this again.
