Former NBA first-round draft pick Darko Milicic is looking a lot different these days.
The 34-year-old showed off a bulked-up physique while playing in his first professional basketball game in seven years in his native country of Serbia this week.

Milicic reportedly scored two points in his return to the court before exiting with a minor shoulder injury.
Widely considered one of the biggest draft busts in NBA history, Milicic was selected No. 2 overall by the Detroit Pistons in 2003 ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade. He retired from the NBA in 2013 after 10 seasons, and spent the following years pursuing other passions like kickboxing and farming.
