^In fact, Darko was anything but "soft". He was always ready to throw a punch.
The whole "soft" thing for Europeans is weird, and to try to explain it would probably get you into topics that are very sensitive, so I will stay away from that.
But it always struck me as very ignorant since most of the Europeans that came in the NBA were from former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union - i.e war torn countries that went through very difficult times. Few if any of the American NBA players have had to grow in harder environments. Yet somehow, they were labeled as "soft" and unable to handle a fight....
