I was sitting here thinking about NBA free agency when I had the urge to look up some outstanding moments in the career of Darko Milicic. It doesn't feel right using the word outstanding and Darko in the same sentence, but I'm going for it.
If you remember he was the #2 overall pick in the 2003 draft and has become arguably one of the biggest busts in league history. His draft class included future superstars like Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, and D-Wade.
Now I located a few decent blocks, but this is the best highlight of Darko's pathetic NBA career. Here you can see him throw down a slam over the great Timmy Duncan while he was on the Grizzlies roster.
From what I understand through various reports this year is that Milicic wants to head back to Europe to salvage what's left of his career. He played for Detroit, Orlando, Memphis, Minnesota, and New York over six years. Milicic is still quite young, so having some success overseas isn't a far fetched concept. Unfortunately for him, he just never found his game while in the NBA and I'm willing to bet the little cash I have left in my 401k that Joe Dumars is still kicking himself for making such a shitty pick.
