Interesting story of the week goes to Darko Milicic. Remember him? The 7-foot 250 pound center that was Infamously picked second in the stacked 2003 NBA Draft? It’s coming back to you now isn’t it.
Well as it turns out Darko is ditching basketball for Kickboxing. I am not kidding. NBA Serbia has the word. (Translated of course)
Top-ranked Serb in the history of the NBA draft, Darko Milicic will become officially kik boxer on Wednesday at the ” Falkensteiner “in Belgrade when it will officially sign a contract with the World kikboks Association (WAKO). Agreement with Mili?i? will sign Barbara Falsoni , director of WAKO PRO, which will also and announce the first kikboks match the famous basketball players.
This is brilliant. You read this and your wondering “How in hell was this guy drafted 2nd?”. It’s a question that only Detroit could answer.
