Whoa....
That Darius Miles pic is just freaky. The guy must have been stacking up on donuts and ice cream. Look at these pics I Googled of Miles before the injury:
<div class="quote_poster">The Walrus Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">But he's so young though isnt he? I just don't understand this from his point of view</div>
He's not retiring from age, he's retiring because of his knees. He had a serious injury that left him sidelined for the entire season. His knees are probably dead, and considering the guy's game was heavily relied on his athletisism, he probably won't do jack if he returns. He's lost his hops, his speed, everything his game relies on. He doesn't have a jump shot, doesn't have range, he's done.
This is kind of sad actually. I remember I used to like Darius Miles when he was with the Clippers and Cavaliers. I haven't watched him since he got traded to the Blazers, but he's a sad story. Another one of those players with tons of potential, talent, and hype when drafted, but underachieved throughout his career because of various reasons. I used have a Darius Miles poster that I used to hang on my wall (Clippers), but it ripped when we were moving so I threw it out.
^ talk about hype.
I miss that Clipper squad. That was back when I used to actually care about the Clippers. The squad had so much promise too, but some dumbass had to tear them apart
