He played in the CBA, USBL, and the
GBA. If that wasn't enough, he also
played in Spain and Cyprus. Although
this meandering journey was, at
times discouraging, filled with
insecurities, and constantly
changing. Darrell nevertheless,
found ways to use every experience
as a step on the ladder to propel
him to greater heights. It was
during his days with the USBL that
his real opportunity first surfaced.
Orlando Magic GM John Gabriel
observed the energetic Darrell
Armstrong. Gabriel liked what he saw
and not long after Armstrong was
signed to a temporary ten-day
contract. With this golden
opportunity at hand, basketball's
hardest worker was justly rewarded
with a long-term contract and the
rest is history. Armstrong, after
many hard-fought years trying to
prove himself, finally made it! It
just goes to show you, success does
come to those who persevere.
After signing a ten-day contract
with the Orlando Magic very few
people could fathom the thought that
one-day Darrell would be knighted as
the "team leader." Although this
distinction may be a transition
title, nevertheless it's a major
achievement for this humble leader.
It all started with his own
heart-felt belief in himself, that
he could do that which he was
focused on achieving. True leaders
are not created. It starts with a
heart-felt notion that matures and
materializes over time. One simply
has to revisit the highlight footage
from the Shaq and Penney days to
discover who the biggest cheerleader
off the bench was. It was none other
than Darrell Armstrong. He was
always the first to cheer and
inspire his superstars with high
fives and loud shouts. Nevertheless,
since then, Darrell's value to his
team has changed, but his role in
many ways has not. He is still the
biggest cheerleader, but he now does
most of his cheering and inspiring
on the court.
