Darko Watch

[J@3]

Oh come off it... even if Redick's NBA career crashes and burns, he'll always have had a far superior college career to Korver. Korver couldn't even manage 20ppg on a team like Creighton, yet you think he'd be more famous than Redick if the roles were reversed?

[Fenix]

Korver doesn't move off the ball as good as Reddick does and JJ can actually drive occasionally (although he's so obscenely unathletic that he'll have problems doing any of that).

[Laxation]

Heres an idea... wait until Reddick has had at least one NBA game before the Korver/Reddick argument continues

[J@3]

It's not an argument about Redick in the NBA though.

[Laxation]

Yes, but comparing Korver to Reddick seems silly... because Korver has had so much more experience, so he should be better (and all round, he probably is)

Anyway... i'll just shut up now, this hole wont dig itself

- NBA Auctions Listing: Darko's Shoe
Nobody's bid on it yet tho, so this little piece of history can be yours for only $125 U.S. (retail $99 U.S. )
However I don't see why they only got the left shoe.. Some crazy fan must've stolen the right one..


On a more 'on-topic' topic, I wonder if Darko will spend his off-season in the gym or just slacking off. I hope he'll spend as much time as possible getting back into shape and improving his physique. Would be real interesting to see if he'd actually be able to do some of those things people thought he would do before he came into the NBA...

[Silas]

Its one thing if you can manage the college system and come off screens and have the offense set around you and make impressive jump shots, its another if you can fit into the nba and score and be good when the offense isnt run around u.

[Blasphemy]

I would buy the shoe cause im sure hes gonna be great in the future. But im broke...

[Fenix]

Darko is back, stronger and meaner than ever before! He's gonna rock your world!

Darko always comes all jacked up to the training camp and he loses some of his mass during the seasone, probably because of all the travelling and the fact that he loses motivation after he sees he's not going to get playing time. But his work ethic was alway reportedly strong and the improvement in his skillset prove that.

I expect Darko to have a good season this year. He might start with Howard or might be first off the bench, nevertheless he'll get at least 25mpg. I wonder how many blocks he'll get. If he starts, and gets 30+ i think it's reasonable to expect 13ppg 7rpg 2.5bpg.

Magic have a chance to make some noise this season, but it hinges on Jameer Nelsons health. He's the PG that can take them places. Can't wait till they play Detroit.

[_marsal]

Is it just me or does he look more bulked up on these 2 videos?

[Fenix]

He is more bulked up. Guys over at RealGM posted a recen pic of him and he looked like he is seriously lifting weights. Considering that he played this season at around 255, 260 pounds, I expect a 270 pound Darko to have a lot less problems creating for himself in the paint and his man defense will also improve. 14ppg | 7rpg | 3blk would make me very happy.

Darko for MVP!

[J@3]

I'm not sure about muscle, but he looks kinda chubby compared to last season.

[Fenix]

Hater . He got big and ripped.

[Dan's Brain]

agree with Fenix, that isnt chubby. But he also cant be 270 pounds. thats...big. Cant think of a comparison right now. If he was 270, he'd be more filled out.

[J@3]

He definitely doesn't look chubby in that pic... but yeah, definitely not 270.

[Fenix]

He was 250 pounds at the predraft camp@the age of 18. He just turned 21 and he looks noticably bigger, I'd say he's a solid 265@7'1. That's not that big for his height. Duncan is smaller and weighs 260 or so pounds and he certainly doesn't have arms like that.

[Dan's Brain]

Tim Duncan's brain is probably heavier than Darko's.



That's not fair, I have a lot of time for Darko. And he does look much better this year. He and Dwight will be pretty imposing together. Hopefully Darko will get the start.

[J@3]

Come on, he's not bigger than Duncan Darko's arms are more ripped obviously, but they are about the same thickness... and Duncan's body is alot bigger than Darko's.

[BlueHornet]

Cuz duncan eats more doughnuts than darko doesnt mean shit. Duncan is more fat than muscle.

[J@3]

You're an idiot. Please remove your brain from your skull and return it to whatever semi-retarded rodent you stole it from originally.

[Silas]

You can say what you want about Duncan being "not ripped" but he's 100 times better than Darko...

[Blasphemy]

Only at the moment.

Darko for Finals MVP!

[Silas]

he only has to win it three times to catch Duncan

[Blasphemy]

Thats nothing. He'll be MVP on the 07', 08', and 14' finals MVP.

And this is career Average after 18 Seasons-

18.8 ppg
10.1 rpg
2.0 apg
1.9 spg
