Darko Milicic Auctioning Off His 2004 NBA Championship Ring, Belt

Darko Milicic is many things, including a one-time NBA champion as a member of the 2004 Detroit Pistons. It may be his crowning achievement, if you count playing 14 minutes of garbage time in the playoffs as a crowning achievement. I personally would put swindling David Kahn into giving him a $20 million contract higher on his "crowning achievements" list, but either works.

↵

Now, Milicic is selling off all remnants of his crowning achievement for charity. Fans will have until May 26 to bid on Milicic's championship ring and -- more hilariously -- his wrestling-style championship belt that Rasheed Wallace had made for all the members of the team. The winner will also get a all-expenses paid trip to a 2011 NBA Finals game, which will surely not include Milicic himself, and an autographed Milicic jersey.

↵All of those things are cool, but none are nearly as cool as the belt. Hell, I’d put in a bid just for the belt and not for all that other stuff.
