Is Darko Crazy?


I don’t speak his language, so there’s no way for me to know what he’s saying, but here’s the rumor: There’s a YouTube clip making the rounds on the interwebs, and in it, Darko Milicic menacingly expresses his contempt for the refs - something about finding them, killing them, and other terrible acts - following the Serbian national team’s loss to Greece. Anybody speak Serbian around here?

I think it was a heat of the moment kind of thing, but the things he said are inexcusable. I can’t say I’m surprised, though.

All the Serbian folks I know are pissed at him. He is going after ther refs, instead of questioning his and the Serbian Natinoal teams attitued on and off the court. Representing their country like that is a shame. The same thing happend in Belgrad. Clubbing all night, hookers at the hotel, and then being mad at the refs after loosing. They would have the best team in the world, if they could get their act together.

When I first read the title, I thought he want a spot in the starting five in Memphis. Anyway I don’t speak Serbian, but I know some words. So I recognised some, well… uhmm, the bad ones.

In the Greek press they reported that he said he wanted to kill the refs and have sex with their daughters. And yes Darko is crazy.

Joe Louis says:
Darko is just going after the refs, nothing else. He ain’t killing anybody, he just insulted them and called them b****es, assholes and how he wanted to do their wives and daughters (very common from were we are). They were probably just down the corridor. In any case, making excuses is something he has been doing since he is States. We over here just hope that he can become the leader one day that Vlade Divac, Zarko Paspalj or Predrag Danilovic were and than we will be back kicking some butts on the international scene. But until then we have to listen to these dudes making excuse after excuse, fighting with each other who should take shots, carry the ball and so on, while losing to teams not even half that talented…..

just glad to see Darko passionate about something other than frosting his hair

I wonder if he ever talked to Rasheed like that. In Serbian.

I will translate after work if you don’t have anything up by then. And where is Slobo? He was a rugural around here for a while and I know he’s from there, so he could do it too. And btw Darko is only insane cuz his dad is an idiot that fills Darko’s head up with stuff like: “You are better then Wilt and Bill” “No one can stop you” “The NBA would be nothing without you”. Idiot, I tell ya.

Well this is what happens when you got Rasheed Wallace as your mentor.

Darko is a muppet. he just showed why he did not make a career in the NBA. granted… drazen petrovic when after the refs with a pair of scissors after yugoslavia semis defeat from greece in 87, but drazen was drazen…, not a spoiled donkey as darko is

Kill the refs and f**k their daughters? Now that’s gangsta! Not even Rasheed has ever gone that far. And Drazen went after the refs with scissors? Croatians and Serbs are awesome. I used to play in a league in New Zealand with one team that were all Serbian immigrants. They were just as likely to fight each other as finish the game. Good times.

What he said was definitely stupid. You just don’t say that out loud even if you feel it. The refereeing was a joke and I also felt cheated and angry after that game. But you just don’t express it in that way. For Slam online: Aren’t you not afraid someone will sue you. This is the 2nd or 3rd time you are misinterpreting statements in Serbian. There was no mentioning of killing. The was a lot of f**cking going around. And he wanted to do a lot of it to a lot of people but no terrible acts no killings. The dude is trying to spread love, he is just misunderstood. Now, you tell me is that crazy?

Darko’s like the anti-Dirk - no playing skills, but plenty of attitude. At least no one thinks he’s “soft” and that’s all that matters anyway, right ?

Sep.7 at 12:34 pm

Lew B. Money says:
Dozens of people in Orlando think Darko is soft, although I have no opinion. AND going after the refs with scissors isn’t just “gangsta”, its damn near Joe Pesci! Regardless of wheather it is true or not, R.I.P. Drazen Petrovic.

SLAM ONLINE | » Darko Makes a FANTASTIC First Impression in Memphis says:
[…] Instead, what Memphis got was a homicidal maniac with rapist tendencies. As you might expect, they aren’t too pleased with this. “We’re very displeased with Darko’s actions and comments,” general manager Chris Wallace said. “It’s an emotional situation playing in national competition, particularly with Serbia, because they take pride in having good teams. But Darko has to be in control of his emotions.” “There’s no excuse for his comments,” Wallace said, adding that Milicic is due back in Memphis within a couple of weeks. “We want to meet with Darko face to face and resolve this matter in an appropriate fashion.” […]

Most Serbians are as ignorant as Darko, this isn’t a fluke. I guess to many years of war in the region got Darko used to that kind of stuff.

What he said was a disgrace to Serbia, now when people all over the world see this, they assume all Serbs are like this, which definitely is not true. Darko just proved he is an angry, emotional, uneducated runt of a kid after this and I’ve lost almost all respect for him (I had quite a bit for him). I am Serbian myself and if I were to translate what he said, he would be suspended for more than one season in the NBA for sure. The comments he said were so heavy and ugly that I have never heard that amount of cussing in one instance (other than a couple ugly fights), not to mention the fact that it was on national television broadcasted also all over the planet. Let’s just say there was a lot of “sucking and f***ing” along with some discriminatory comments.. I didn’t get a chance to see the game myself but I heard we did get cheated. I am a basketball player myself and I would be pissed off as well but I would NEVER act like that to the media..
Darko, grow up and work on your game instead of thinking you’re Juelz Santana or Cam’Ron or something…

I like the way you generalize, John from Miami. Does this mean that all US citizens are heartless, morales genocidal killers for dropping 2 A-bombs on 2 civilian cities in Japan, killing thousands of people and deforming generations just to test the effect of radiation on humans. Most Serbians are not ignorant and I am not sure Darko is even. But the only thing I am sure is that you are. I presume too many years of somebody else thinking for you has made YOU ignorant.
