Sitting the bench in the NBA apparently has its perks for some.

Sitting on the bench in the NBA apparently has its perks for some.

In Marko Jaric’s 7 seasons of NBA basketball the 6’7 Serbian has been on 3 NBA teams, and has averaged 7 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds a game.  This season he is averaging a career low 10minutes a game for the lowly Memphis Grizzlies.  He gets to sit on the bench making $6.5M a year.  Not a bad gig at all.

Now ordinarily that would not be such a big deal, but in case you did not know, he is a very, very, very, very, luck guy.  Yes, that is the one and only Adriana Lima (and yes i could have added more “very” ‘s).  Basically, Marko lives the life we only dream of, except he has less talent than the person we envision in our dreams.  Marko has found the real life version of the Golden Ticket.  He is not a very good professional athlete, he is a millionaire and he is married to a Brazilian Victoria’s Secret Supermodel.

So how does Marko use his luck and fortune? By being involved in this.  Now this is only an investigation, and he could be cleared over a case of mistaken identity, a gold digger wanting to get paid, or maybe even a “cultural difference” (kind of like if i go to Japan expecting a “happy ending”).

If you think this article was half written just show I could post pictures of Adriana, then you would be correct.

I only hope the incident does not escalate and we find out he has started to pull something along these lines.  Because that would be a slap in the face of all of us out there living normal lives.
