Everyone remembers him as the “bust” drafted ahead of Melo, Wade, and Bosh — but let’s be fair for a sec. Darko was only 18 when the Pistons picked him. He joined a championship contender with no minutes available, and still ended up with a ring in his rookie year — something most players never get. Later on, he became a solid rim protector in Minnesota and even reinvented himself as a kickboxing farmer back in Serbia. Not the star people expected, sure… but far from a failure as a person. He’s living his life on his own terms — that’s a win in its own way. #NBA #DarkoMilicic #NBATalk #Pistons #NBADebate #Basketball
