Boban Marjanovic is the gentle giant of the NBA. Standing at 7-foot-4 out of Serbia, the former Philadelphia 76ers big man never met an enemy and was always spreading love throughout the league to everybody he met.
The Sixers acquired Marjanovic–and best friend Tobias Harris–from the Los Angeles Clippers at the 2019 deadline. The big man played 22 games and averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds as he was productive in his minutes before he left for the Dallas Mavericks in free agency.
Marjanovic has played the previous two seasons with the Houston Rockets, but he will now take his talents overseas. He will sign with Fenerbahce in Turkey.
Marjanovic will be missed by the league due to the kindness the big man brought to the game and how he made everybody feel welcome. He will now look to get himself moving forward again while out in Turkey.
