Unfiltered: Boban Marjanovic

Related Topics: Detroit Pistons, Zvonimir Boban

Before Boban Marjanovic became a social media icon and fan-favorite with the Detroit Pistons, he was a relatively unknown Serbian monster playing with the Spurs under Gregg Popovich. The Spurs have been notorious for finding gems overseas including Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Aron Baynes, but none were as physically imposing as Marjanovic.

Standing at a massive 7’3″ and 290 lbs, Marjanovic has always been an imposing force in the paint. Opposing guards would often penetrate the perimeter defense only to be met with a Serbian wall, and any opponents that dared to miss jump shots while Marjanovic was on the court were merely feeding the beast a steady diet of defensive rebounds.
