Darko Milicic on Carmelo Anthony: 'He needs to calm down pronto'
“I heard he was after me, but I didn’t see him; I have no idea. If he wanted, he would’ve seen me, he would’ve found me, he knew where I was. Those are their gangster stories, you know, like: ‘I was looking for him to show him.’ What do you want to show me? I heard his emotions got the better of him; he needs to calm down pronto,” Milicic concluded.

Not to be pessimistic about this, but, Nikola Jokic passed Carmelo Anthony for 3rd most points in a Nuggets uniform and for a player with historic moments for Denver, you just expected there to be a congratulatory message by Melo played at the arena.
There was not. – 12:24 AM

Fun fact: Nikola Jokic has tied Carmelo Anthony for the 2nd-most 40-point games in Nuggets history, with 19.

It didn’t take long for the former Serbian player to respond. “He’s still whining about something to this day… What are you whining about? You’re third! What do you want? Are you crazy? Maybe if I were third, I’d still be playing, and he’d be picking apples,” Milicic said on the Jao Mile podcast to another former Serbian NBA player, Mile Ilic. -via EuroHoops.net / April 5, 2024
Melo recently spoke about going after Darko and ending up with the Denver Nuggets instead of joining the championship-caliber Pistons, admitting he wanted to confront Milicic and prove Detroit wrong. “I heard stories about Darko and the Detroit Pistons, and I immediately got ready to head there. I had to find out where he trained to track him down. Where are they hiding him? I wondered. I went to every gym to find him. Yes, that’s a true story. I wanted to find him, beat him one-on-one, and show that I should have been the first pick for the Detroit Pistons,” Anthony said, speaking on Dwayne Wade’s podcast. -via EuroHoops.net / April 5, 2024

Despite being guaranteed to be drafted second overall, Milicic still wasn’t sure he would be picked by Detroit at no. 2. “We were in the VIP section, and I just didn’t care, you know, he’s really going to call me, you know, because I really couldn’t believe that he would guarantee me the second pick. How to say, I wasn’t me for a single moment. Looking back, I really had traits to become something in that territory,” he said. “When I went there, I was full of confidence. I mean, I saw that they were really good guys. Obviously, I saw where they came from and what they did, they were good. I was full of confidence. I had no problem playing with anybody. However, only now when I look back, I switched off at one point, I literally switched off,” Milicic recalled. “I don’t know in what period it happened exactly, but I just switched off.” -via BasketNews / March 16, 2024
