I think making up an entirely fictional personality for Darko Milicic has been one of my favorite things to write.  I don’t know why I decided that Darko should think Swedes are idiots, or love French Toast, or try to nickname Wes Johnson “Kill Shark,” but it’s been fun.

In the beginning, Darko just wanted to stay in Minnesota – and later was thrilled to re-sign. Unfortunately, he then couldn’t shoot to save himself. And now, he’s back, and ready for the lockout to end and the 2011-12 season to begin, in a post titled “I, Darko, Am Ready For Basketballs.”

The Canis Hoopus commenters sometimes get on me for making fun of Milicic. I want to be clear that he is my favorite Timberwolf, and I hope he scores 30 points a game and his left-handed hook becomes famous as one of the great moves in NBA history. It’s just fun to poke fun at him until that happens.
