There is a 7’3 rookie from the Balkan region taking the NBA by storm.
7’3 Spurs rookie Boban Marjanovic went to the D-League and immediately started passing like White Chocolate
I am, of course, speaking of Boban Marjanovic, the 27-year-old Very Large Man who signed with the Spurs over the summer after a solid career in Europe. He made his debut for the Austin Spurs of the D-League Saturday night and produced a 34-point, 13-rebound bonanza.
Marjanovic had not gotten to spin much for the NBA squad, so the heavy minutes with Austin constituted his first chance to really showcase his skill set in America, and YOOOOOOOO:
Boban makes plenty of classic Very Large Man plays, just outreaching people for boards and finishing easy dunks from under the basket, but he’s also pretty deft. He’s got a mid-range jumper, decent hands a step from the rim and the above pass ... man, I have watched that like 30 times and each time I hopped out of my seat and headbutted a window. My apartment is completely without windows now. It’s cold. Thanks a lot, Boban. I love you, Boban.
