Wolves' Milicic simply 'a defensive guy'
MINNEAPOLIS He's too much of a presence to be a non-entity, and as much as he'd like to fade into the background, Darko Milicic cannot.
After eight years in the NBA, he should know that. He should realize that at 7-feet and 275 pounds, he stands out on the court. Even though he's surrounded in the middle of the action, everyone can still see him.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ – As Read by Darko Milicic
This is a bit old and was used for the Wolves home opener, but it still makes me laugh every time.

Minnesota Timberwolves’ Center Debate: Milicic vs. Randolph
Their record stands at just 4-8, but the Minnesota Timberwolves have gotten off to a respectable start to their 2011-12 season.
The hard to watch blowouts are a thing of yesteryear, while nail biting conclusions have become a common occurrence.

TWO THE HARD WAY
Darko scores on his own basket
Darko Milicic's career just hasn't lived up to expectations. Since being drafted #2 overall in the 2003 NBA draft, it's been all down hill for the 25 year-old Serbian star.His draft class was full of legit talent. Three out of the top five picks are now playing in South Beach, and Carmelo Anthony will likely soon be on his way to either New York City or New Jersey....

Has Ex-Magic Player Darko Milicic Turned the Corner?
Will Darko Finally Resemble a #2 Overall Pick?
Darko Milicic has been deemed a bust by everyone except himself. Championed as the “Human Victory Cigar” during his years in Detroit, he struggled to see court time early on in his career.
