Boban Marjanovic is one of my favorite NBA players. Let me get into some of the reasons why.

First, we have to bring up the Spurs commercial he was apart of, one of the best things I’ve seen this past decade. If you haven’t seen it yet, please watch it right now below.

Hasn’t your day just got a whole lot better if that was the first time you’ve seen it? I bet it has.

Another reason why I love watching Boban Marjanovic is because of his incredible size. Boban is 7’4 and if you think that I don’t choose him in every single 2K blacktop game then you would be dead wrong. I dominate with that man in the game because NOBODY CAN STOP HIM. I envision everyone going up against Boban as Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 3 when he goes up against that giant in the martial arts studio:

And that brings me to my final reason for adoring Boban’s game, the fact that he’s actually pretty good. Boban’s numbers don’t look that great on the surface since he rarely gets time on the court. But, if you look deeper into his stats, you might be a bit surprised.

Boban Marjanovic has the 2nd best true shooting percentage from any rookie in NBA History with at least 50 games played.

Boban is also currently 2nd in the NBA this year in true shooting percentage (only trailing Steph Curry) and 2nd in Total Rebound Percentage (only trailing Andre Drummond) out of players who have at least 50 games played.

Let’s go with just one more stat to prove the point. Boban Marjonovic is 4th in the NBA with a 27.72 PER for all players who have played at least 10 games this season. That’s better than LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Kawhi Leonard.

So, yea, Boban is pretty damn good.
