Why I Miss…..Darko Milicic

This is the 4th part of our continuing series at 3 Shades of Blue as we look back on former players that we would like to see in Beale Street Blue once again.

Darko Milicic. The #2 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and a host of other notable players. A 17-year old foreign wunderkind that no one had seen outside of a few game tapes. Touted as Dirk Nowitzki meets [...]

Why I Miss…Shane Battier

In the game of basketball, fans rarely find a use for the word bittersweet. As a fan myself, I see things as bitter or sweet but never both. However, bittersweet best describes the way I felt in June when, at the age of 33, Shane Battier won his first NBA championship ring.

But selfishly, I couldn’t help thinking that, in a perfect world, the good guy wouldn’t have to win this way.

The only sports on TV are re-runs of pre-season football games between teams whose players you don’t know unless were in their high school graduating class.

In these depressing days of humidity and heat NBA.com has been so gracious as to remind us of what was.

Why I Miss….Greivis Vasquez

This is the second of a multi-part series on the players the writers at 3 Shades of Blue miss the most from past teams.

Last year the Grizzlies had their share of issues, but no problem hurt them more than the lack of a backup point guard. Mike Conley was more than capable of running the first team offense, but once he left the court, things got chaotic pretty quickly. Jeremy Pargo, Josh Selby, and Gilbert Arenas all tried [...]
