Doesn't make any sense. Clipper fans love him because he's a die-hard Clipper fan with tons of enthusiasm. How is he going to inspire Dallas fans when they know he isn't even a fan, and was just bought out?

Makes all the sense in the world. How many people in dallas really know darrell. heck many clipper fans who dont go to games dont even know him. He is so loud, im sure he will crack people up in dallas just like he does here (if he does do it). The only way it doesnt make sense to me is darrell's car business, how that will be affected if he has to go away for a long times.

But from a basketball fans point of view thats a dream come true. To be courted by a billionare owner, and getting what amounts to a job within the nba. Who knows where it could lead to in the nba or in cuban's organization. He will be a clipper fan for life, you cant change that...but what he has here is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Aw man, nobody else feels bad for Clipper Darrell? The guy is probably more distraught then he's ever been in his life. Give up his passion for the clippers for one of Cuban's blank checks??

If he refuses and stays true to being a clipper fan, somewhere down the line he might end up regretting passing up on the money, because one day his family might need it. It's not everyday that us "regular" people get offered millions of dollars.

Just do it Clipper Darrell & don't look back! Clipper games won't be quite the same without you, but at least some of us will understand.

PS, Mark Cuban is a total douchebag for doing this.

Lol... I gotta say... if I could get paid to support a team, I'd support any freaking team you want me to support.

It doesn't mean I can't like other teams.

Must be real tough decision. I was reading that people are coming up to him at games and telling him not to leave. I guess it comes down to which scenario will be more positive. Hopefully he is content on whatever decision he makes. Like I said before it is sad that Cuban has to buy other team fans to motivate his own.

CowboyBebop · 02-01-2008, 12:03 AM

How much is he going to get paid if he decides to go?

DaRizzle · 02-01-2008, 12:06 AM

^One billion dollars

squeemu · 02-01-2008, 02:31 AM

Maybe Sterling should match the offer...

Is he really going to cheer AGAINST the Clippers when they're in Dallas? It seems like that would be too hard for him!

Mulling it over and deciding that Clipper Darrell has a much better ring than Maverick Darrell, the Clippers’ most recognizable fan, Darrell Bailey, has decided to remain a part of Clipper Nation.

Bailey, 39, told The Register exclusively late Tuesday night that he was made a very good offer to join the Dallas Mavericks’ game operations staff but after discussing the matter with his family, Bailey turned it down.

“A fan is loyal and loves their team, and is passionate about their team,” Bailey said. “And I couldn’t change over. The Clippers have been my team for the last 15 years, and this is how I’m going to roll.”

Good for him, for the Clippers and also for the Mavs. I'm glad that he turned down the offer

**yamaneko** · 02-07-2008, 07:37 AM

Must not have been enough money. I cant imagine how it could have been. Its great to be courted by an NBA team, but if I had as successful business as Darell, it would take a lot to have to leave my business and move my whole family to another state.

I actually long for the day that many dont know who clipper darrell is. WHy? Because that would mean the clipper games are so rocking no one can hear him!
