Darko is quality, no doubt about it. I have no doubt his team mates like him. And he gets on fine with them. All his pistons team mates seem to love him. And he has nothing but good stuff to say about them. The stuff he said to the media is just a young guy who has been frustrated to all hell for the past 2 years, knowing he the abilitly but not being able to show it. Then add the media making him the nightly news joke, papers calling him a bust, his serbian coach calling him and asking why isnt he playing...Then he lets out a little frustration through the media that have made him feel like shit all along and people are outraged? You cant even compare Darko to a stephon demanding more shots... the dude takes heaps of shots, plus he's a point guard and last but definately not the least he hasnt be shelved for 2 seasons.
And who cares if he doesnt come out with the typical rubbish that pro sports people seem trained to say.
"oh yeah, it was a tough game" But you beat them by 45???..."but they are always tough, its always a tough place to come to play."
Would you like to have more shots?
"oh no, i dont even think about things like that. I just go out there and play hard, give it my all. I just want to do whatever it takes for us to get a win."
I know what 90% of pro athletes are going to say before they even say it these days. They sugar coat all their responses and its damn boring if they are ALL like that...
What about the stuff Barkley came out with?
"GOD WANT US TO WIN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP...Its true, i talked to him the other night".
Whats the most important thing you guys have to do to win this game tonight Charles?
"score more points then they do"

``They play the game the way it's supposed to be played,'' Iverson said. ``It's not about athletics. That's the game the way Karl Malone and John Stockton play it. It's good for kids to see how the game is supposed to be played.''
