Darko Milicic was selected with the second overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, behind LeBron James but ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.

After a career that never lived up to those lofty expectations, Milicic now finds himself competing in kickboxing tournaments, and his first endeavor into the professional fighting world ended up with a loss.

“The next time, it will be better,” Milicic said. “I’m invincible.”

We shall see.
