Darko Milicic being selected second overall in 2003 seems like a lifetime ago. The frustrating part is that he never showed a glimmer of anything during his entire NBA career. Bounced around from team to team, he became nothing more than a punchline.
Darko has decided to call it quits and is retiring:
Darko Milicic, the second pick in the 2003 NBA draft, is apparently giving up on basketball to be a kickboxer.
According to a report on NBASerbia.com, Milicic will sign a contract Wednesday to become a professional kickboxer in his native Serbia. The story, headlined “Darko Milicic put an end: Goodbye NBA career, good afternoon kick-boxing!” according to Google Translate, says Milicic’s first fight will also be announced Wednesday.
