Darko Milicic Pistons Jersey
CATEGORY: NEVER LIVED UP TO THE HYPE JERSEY

Why Is It Terrible? : Do I even need to write anything? One of the few athlete's whose name is a punchline. This jersey has special meaning to me, because seeing this jersey while working for the Harrisburg Senators caused me and my fellow employees to keep track of the terrible jersey we saw. I almost fell over when I saw this jersey. Buying $150 for an authentic Darko jersey when LeBron, Carmelo and D Wade entered the league the same year is not even the most remarkable part, that would be the fact that some guy was still wearing it proudly. My favorite Darko moment was when he was playing mop up time for the Pistons in the 2003 NBA Finals. He entered the game with 2 minutes left in a Pistons blowout and the crowd cheered like the team manager had just been called in. As soon as Darko touched the ball, he preceded to hit all backboard on an open 3. Oh yeah, and he had band aides on his ears because his ears were infected after his friend tried to pierce them for him. Glad he didn't try to pierce his tongue.

Never lived up to the hype yes, but he never really ever got a chance in Detroit with all the depth. He's developing into a solid player now... but it was just an atrociously horrible move by Joe Dumars there.

Awesome.
This is the only jersey that made me say "God, that is a horrible fucking jersey" out loud. Yes, I saw the Ryan Leaf jersey (maybe I am just way too desensitized with Ryan Leaf horribleness at this point).
