Want to Write for Talkhoops.net?

We're always looking for talented and ambitious writers to contribute to Talkhoops.net. Here are the parameters for writing for our site:

1. We're looking for sharp knowledge about the NBA. There shouldn't be articles like the Lakers should get LeBron and Dwyane Wade to go with Kobe.

2. You need to be somewhat entertaining. Have fun with what you're writing and make it relevant to today's world.

3. Proofread what you submit. Spellcheck it and check the grammar. I want it as tight as possible.

4. This at the moment is not a paying job. In the future, it most likely could be, that's going to be quite a while. This is an opportunity to have your voice heard by thousands of readers and to express your feelings on basketball today.

5. When you submit something to me, it only goes to me. Once something is submitted to Talkhoops.net, you cannot have it posted on another website without our consent. We essentially own it.

If these sound like reasonable requests and you love to write about basketball, submit some writing to writeforus@talkhoops.net or zharper@talkhoops.net. Thanks for your continued support.

Okay, before you read any of this article, watch this video.



Speak Serbian? Me neither. So I've scoured the internet to find an accurate translation. The consesus translation was taken from suckatsports.blogspot.com. Here it is, and this is all true. None of it is made up.

Reporter: Darko, first impressions?
Darko: All right, but let's do it over there...
Reporter: Darko Milicic, congratulations despite the loss. First impressions?
Darko: Nothing, these three big shitheads, these two..three pussies have cheated us, that's what happened. This pussy, these three shitheads think they are something. I will go and fuck their mothers' pussy -- all three of them, that's what I'm gonna (????)...pussies all three of them, I'm gonna fuck his italian mother in her pussy, man, that's what I want to say...
Reporter: Darko, calm down a little bit, your impressions of the game?
Darko: He's a shithead, he should suck my dick, go on..write that, man...all three of them, the first one and the second one and the third one...I don't give a damn about this, that's what I want to say
Reporter: ???
Darko: Pussies..they don't call anything...he shit in his pants...I will fuck his mother in the mouth, man...if he has a daughter, I will also fuck his daughter
Reporter: ???
Darko: ???....we are fighting here, I died...I need an infusion, do you understand...and they cheat us like shit...

Well then! Thanks, Darko. Rasheed Wallace once said that Darko was a "Serbian gangster" and we all laughed it off. Well, I think we should take that a little more seriously. Darko said some pretty messed up things here. I read that the phrase, "fuck their mothers' pussy" actually is quite common as an insult in Serbian. That still doesn't make me feel any better about what he said.

So what will the Grizzlies do? Probably nothing, but they are NOT happy about this. New GM, Chris Wallace, capped off Darko's 10,000 Euro fine by calling Darko immediately and telling him how uncool that was. Here's Wallace's public comments:

“We’re very displeased with Darko’s actions and comments. It’s an emotional situation playing in national competition, particularly with Serbia, because they take pride in having good teams. But Darko has to be in control of his emotions.”

That was the equivalent of a rich dad's comments after his kid beat up the school bully in high school and received detention for it. Wallace understands why Darko was upset, but will now decide on whether to ground him or not and take away the keys to his Acura for a week.

This really puts into perspective anything Rasheed Wallace has ever said about officiating. Brad Miller no longer looks like he has a quick temper with officials. Steve Nash has to step up his game if he wants to get on Darko's level with bitching about calls.

On the bright side for Grizzlies' fans (all 8 of you), Darko officially has a mean streak. Anytime, you throw raping an officials' family around like it's just any old insult, you become a guy that is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Darko for $7 million a year for the next 3 years may end up being a steal if he can have this translate to the court.

I want to live in a world where a pissed off Darko Milicic, hell-bent on proving Larry Brown, Joe Dumars, and Otis Smith wrong, takes the ball at the right elbow, shot fakes and drives to the lane and dunks over Dwight Howard and Tony Battie while not getting the call from the officials.

Then as he runs down the court, yells to Steve Javie about violating his dead grandmother before settling in on defense. That's the world I want to live in.
