Darko scam artist?


Darko scam artist?

New York --A source recently told New York Times that he has helped Darko Milicic design one of the biggest scams in sports history. This informant claims that he helped Darko counterfeit paperwork stating that he played in Europe before joining the draft. But since he was from Serbia, nobody actually check the authenticity of these papers. This unidentified individual also notifies that he came up with the idea during a wild party that Darko should join the NBA because of his height. He claims that Darko was looking for financial security after dropping out of highschool, after a failed attempt to become a drug dealer, Darko agreed to declared himself to the draft as a joke. He couldn’t believe when NBA scouts became interested in him, he realized he had a minuscule chance to get drafted. At the draft Drako was as surprised as everybody to be picked 2nd overall behind Lebron James and in front of players like Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh. After the draft the source also claims that he helped Darko learn the rules of basketball because he never played the game until before in his life. That is why it took Darko so long to score a basket during his rookie year (23 games). Darko’s agent was unavailable to answer questions but David Stern assured that the NBA would look into this situation.

Darko signed a 3 year $21 million deal with the Memphis Grizzlies during this past offseason and if one can trust this source, Darko Milicic might have pulled on of the biggest scams in sports.
