He had fresh start under a coach who freed him from being restricted to the post, and a golden opportunity to work his way into the rotation.
I cannot get the image of him standing perfectly still during pre game warmups out of my head. Darko never made a move when a stray basketball bounced his way. As he stood near the left corner of the free throw line, a ball hit him in the leg. He picked it up and casually passed it, without moving a step, to another player. That is something I have never seen at any level of basketball. Ever.
It is a credit to the other Knicks players that they ignored his boorish act.
