Here’s the transcript–
David Kahn: “I have never– I haven’t seen a big man pass like [Darko]. Â He really does pass like Vlade, in that respect. Absolutely. He’s a Great Passing Big ManTM. And, you know, Vlade will be the first person to tell you that.”
Chris Webber: “HA! Wow. Wow. Like Vlade Divac… Woah.”
I mentioned earlier on Twitter that Kahn’s declaration was full of fail. Darko has a very pedestrian 7.2 percent career assist percentage while Webber (20.2 ast pct) and Divac (16.0 ast pct) should be insulted by the insinuation that they’re anywhere close to being in the same class.  But it’s one thing for Kahn to make such a claim on TV, but it’s another thing to say it directly to Chris Webber who played with Divac for six seasons in Sacramento, not to mention Webber is one of the most gifted passing big men of all time.
To see the enormous divide between Darko and Webber, consider that Darko’s single best season in assist percentage (10.7 pct) Â was far lower than Webber’s worst (16.4 pct).
But I didn’t stop there. I decided to switch directions and head down a more subjective path of research. Â I hit up YouTube to find some evidence that Darko deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Webber and Divac. Â And this is what I found.
