Headbanger’s Ball

No question about it. Darius Miles was a SLAM fav.

Turning out to be one of the most disappointing classes in recent memory, the 2000 NBA Draft has given us only three All-Stars to date. And, although some thought the kid out of high school would be one once he got a new start in Cleveland in his third season, Darius Miles, that year’s third pick, was not one of them.—Adam Fleischer

    Remember that 46 point game

    they were tight with the Clips but never had a foundation to continue the high flying act. That and Donald sterling is a horrible owner.

    Dudes with braids of any kind in Cleveland didn’t work out until Delonte West, no? But then he’s more of a goofy guy without that other crazy/fire like a Ricky Davis/Miles here. A shame for DaJuan Wagner though who didn’t have mental/psyche/personality probs but a major physical one. A nice comeback with the Warriors, but he was under Don Nelson so yeah. Nellie Rage ends careers.

    I remember this issue. It started out how Darius did the “chicken dance” with Nelly at a concert. HE WAS supposed to save Cleavland before lebron.

    That Clippers Bunch (and the cover) was sooo fly…….watching Bball in the middle of the night was fun way back when….*sigh*

    Darius Miles and Q Rich made the Clippers fun to watch. Does anybody else find this comment surprising? The Clippers were ACTUALLY fun to watch, once.
