Many of us use financial banks to save our money. It’s practically considered a way of life and has been for generations.
However, for Minnesota Timberwolves center Darko Milicic, keeping his money in a bank was never an option. According to former NBA basketball player, Casey Jacobsen, who currently now writes for SLAM, Darko Milicic always had trouble trusting any bank with his money. I hear you Darko, who does nowadays?
In the words of Jacobsen:
It’s nearly impossible to explain the weirdness that is Darko, but he told me one time that he did not keep his money in any bank, nor did he invest in stocks or bonds. “I just keep it,” he told me and then turned away. Looking back, I should have asked a follow-up question. I don’t know if I believe him, but he was making over $6 million that season. On another note… that was easily the longest conversation we ever had, and that was how he preferred it.
It would be interesting to know exactly where Darko Milicic hides his money. The Serbian basketball player has made roughly $42 million dollars playing in the NBA. That’s a whole lot of money to be stashing in a closet and rolling in rubber bands.
You can’t explain it, but like Jacobsen said, “that is Darko.”

He keeps his money in the same undisclosed location where he kept his basketball skills for five years.
Funny JW! $42 Million dollars…. where do you put that? Goodness.
Sounds like it’s time to pick up a shovel from Home Depot and do some late night digging for coffee cans in Darko’s backyard.
Im with you SG! I’ll bring the flashlights… just let me know when… hehe
I think he’s one of those guys we’ll never understand. I wonder if he watched too many 80′s documentaries of the drug lords in Miami burying money in their back yards because they didn’t know where else to put it!?!
Nice one Chap. Darko probably did! I mean, who else would just keep their money…. you’re right, that’s straight out of “Sopranos.”
It’s not a terrible idea since so many banks collapsed, but still weird.
Looks like Lin is getting his shot! I’m rooting for him to do well!!
You’re right, it’s definitely weird! There’s this thing called interest… something that Milicic should be taking advantage of. In regards to Lin, I told you Chap! Just give the guy a chance. I am still hesitant being that his career night was against the Nets. He’s starting against the Jazz… Now, well see if he’s really the guy. I am rooting for him too.
Hopefully, Darko will find it in his heart to spot Joe Dumars a loan when he ultimately gets canned for drafting him in the first place.
Oh, that’s cold Chris. hehe Darko definitely has not lived up to expectations and has just returned from injury… I guess it’s back to stashing money in the closet.
Darko’s still playing in the league ? Oh God why do I feel so queasy ? It might be the fact that he and Kwame Brown are still playing and pulling down enough “jack” /money to impress even Mitt Romney .
tophatal ………
Yup, Darko is still in the NBA and just actually returned from injury. I know, it makes me scratch my head too.
Funny concept. For every dollar he’s made, another NBA draft analyst’s heart has been broken…
You just never know what you’re going to get in the draft… A perfect example is Greg Oden from the Portland Trail Blazers. Recently just had another knee surgery and most likely will have another one on his left knee. Poor guy, Oden has only played a total of 82 games in 4 years…
Just saying, I said that they should’ve picked Durant! Just saying!
