    Basketball newbie here, but why is Darko considered the bad guy here?  Even the announcers point out that Mutombo's famous for his elbows & rough play.  Mutombo's never been cited as a choir boy.

      Mutombo's long history of humanitarian aid and WWTSM t-shirts help to offset the teeth his elbows have knocked out.  Plus, he's probably older than Julio Franco at this point ... Darko was picking a fight with a senior citizen.

      Also because Darko is basically a joke in the NBA after drafting so high (2nd overrall i think?) and really not doing anything at all.

    Redsauce, this is part of it:

    Darko unleashes this ridiculous stream of Serbian language, and the US sports world spends the next several days trying to figure out what in the world he said. I think the final verdict was a death threat against the referees and their daughters.

    Mutombo is no choir boy, to be sure, but at least he's accomplished a thing or two in his long career.
