My Take
Boban Marjanovic is one of the most lovable giants in basketball, and at 7-foot-4 he is impossible to miss. The Serbian big man has bounced around the NBA, but what I appreciate is how he turned a limited bench role into something special, those absurd per-minute rebounding numbers are no fluke. He came up as a 2007 junior world champion and earned his shot the long way through Europe. Off the court his cameos in the John Wick films, towering over Keanu Reeves, were inspired casting. He plays the game with obvious joy, and that's exactly why fans adore him wherever he goes.
