Anthony: Before the 2003 draft, I didn't even know About Milisic

In an interview, Lakers new signing forward Cameron Anthony talked about the unexpected failure to be selected by the Pistons in the 2003 NBA Draft.

"At the time, Darko (Milisic) was not on my mind. We just won the national championship in college. So I went back to Baltimore and played with my family and friends. The NBA is still going on, playing in the playoffs. So my agent and I went to Philadelphia one day to watch the Pistons play against the 76ers. We know the NBA's lotto draw is fast. We want to go to the game. There was a lot of attention at the time about Larry Brown's situation. He was coaching the 76ers at the time, but then he joined the Pistons. When they told me they would sign me in, I was happy to go home. I was driving home and I thought we were going to Detroit, and I hadn't even heard of Dark, and he wasn't paying any attention at the time. It's not disrespectful to him. At that time, people were only talking about me and LeBron, who was he? I want to get to know him and train with him, I want people to see us stay together, I've never met him. So at that time, I just didn't worry about him. I knew the pistons had promised to pick me. It didn't turn out, which disappointed me. It made me feel like I had lost something. ”
