The former NBA center stands tall at 7-foot-4. After nine seasons in the NBA, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/boban-marjanovic-makes-next-career-move-with-a-twist">Marjanovic signed to play</a> for Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul of the Turkish Basketball League.</p><p>Although Marjanovic is a physical presence, there’s no question that he’s also a gentle giant with a soft heart. In fact, NBA players will even agree that he was one of the nicest players in the league. With Marjanovic leaving for Turkey, let’s rank the 10 most wholesome Boban Marjanovic moments.</p><h2><b>10. A shoutout to his family</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Hi mom! Hi dad!

During the postgame interview, Marjanovic’s first words were to greet his family.</p><h2><b>9.

Given Marjanovic’s wholesome reputation, it isn’t surprising that he was selected alongside Luka Doncic to do a Disney promo.</p><h2><b>8. Giving back love to his fans</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Boban is too wholesome ❤️<br> <a href="https://t.co/NpTPFva5wt">pic.twitter.com/NpTPFva5wt</a></p><p>— SleeperHoops (@Sleeper_Hoops) <a href="https://twitter.com/Sleeper_Hoops/status/1753122327859281970?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 1, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Despite his 7-foot-4 frame, it’s safe to say that Marjanovic has been a gentle giant. As a result, it isn’t surprising to see him earn some fans. In fact, a fan named Cassius flew as much as 5,000 miles to see the Houston Rockets center in action in 2024. Not only did Marjanovic interact with Cassius but even gave him an autograph and his Rockets jersey.</p><h2><b>7.

In fact, the two have always been fond of each other. Moreover, the Nuggets star even <a href="https://twitter.com/HarrisonWind/status/972194694422609920" rel="noopener">claimed</a> Marjanovic to be a really great friend, as their relationship dates back to even before the two played together in the league.</p><h2><b>6.

However, the Serbian national team got the job done by winning 83-76. But when the games were done, both sides showed great sportsmanship, highlighted by Marjanovic even showing love to the Philippines and its wild basketball fans.</p><h2><b>5.

In fact, the elderly Marjanovic even managed to sink a basket in their home’s backyard with the Serbian center cheering in the background.</p><h2><b>4. Boban’s first post-game interview</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Boban “You Rang?” Marjanović on Inside The NBA 🤣🤣🤣</p><p>“Thank you for choosing me and not Luka!”<br>(🎥 <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nbaontnt</a>) <a href="https://t.co/LMKjVTyo9Y">pic.twitter.com/LMKjVTyo9Y</a></p><p>— Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) <a href="https://twitter.com/dallasmavs/status/1296308097032630272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 20, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>It isn’t so often that Marjanovic gets picked as the Player of the Game. In fact, it was his first time to be engaged in an interview with the TNT crew.</p><p>As a result, Marjanovic even confessed to how nervous he was interacting with former Basketball Hall of Famers. But despite his nervousness, the Serbian big man never failed to be humble and continued to deal with it in the most wholesome way possible.</p><h2><b>3. Congratulating Luka Doncic</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Boban congratulating Luka is so wholesome 🥹 <a href="https://t.co/BiZulaBDsy">pic.twitter.com/BiZulaBDsy</a></p><p>— SLO HOOPS FAN 🇸🇮 (@SloHoopsFan) <a href="https://twitter.com/SloHoopsFan/status/1751093957990461795?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 27, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Although Marjanovic no longer plays for the Dallas Mavericks, that didn’t stop him from congratulating his former teammate and good friend Luka Doncic. Luka had just dropped a career-high 73 points in a 148-143 win against the Atlanta Hawks in 2024.</p><p>His total output was the third most in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 and Kobe Bryant’s 81. Later that night, Marjanovic took to social media to greet his former teammate for the magnificent performance.</p><h2><b>2. Singing to his wife</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Boban sang his own version of “Shallow” for his wife’s birthday ❤️😆</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/BobanMarjanovic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BobanMarjanovic</a>) <a href="https://t.co/3kuUTpxdpn">pic.twitter.com/3kuUTpxdpn</a></p><p>— ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1344101602895007745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>While Marjanovic has been a great professional basketball player on the court, it seems like the 7-4 big man is also a loving husband to his wife, Milica Krstić. In fact, with the help of his former teammate Maxi Kleber, Marjanovic decided to use his vocals to sing for his wife.</p><p>But more importantly, Marjanovic even sang his own version of the hit song Shallow by changing up the lyrics. The hit song Shallow was originally performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in their hit film A Star is Born.</p><h2><b>1.

However, it’s quite a rare sight for a player to intentionally miss them. Despite now playing for the Houston Rockets, Boban decided to intentionally miss all of his shots from the charity stripe against his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers.</p><p>In the game, the Clippers promised free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches to its audience if a player from the opposing team missed consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter. As the man of the people, Boban obliged to the Clippers fans and even celebrated with them in 2024.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Marjanovic received <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DADWINlI2t6/?hl=en" rel="noopener">many comments about his physique</a> on Tuesday, through his Instagram account. Some people even went as far as to say he looks like the Disney character, “Wreck-it Ralph.” The comparisons are certainly there, as both are freakishly tall, very charismatic, and a person that everyone wants to be around. However, Marjanovic has his animated counterpart beat in the basketball skills department. </p><p>Marjanovic is listed at 7’4 and was tied with San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama for the tallest player in the league. In 331 career NBA games, Marjanovic averaged 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He was a fan-favorite in every city he was in, as well as carving out a role with each team. Now, the 36-year-old looks to return to the Euroleague, where he once dominated before heading to the NBA. Fenerbahce also signed Canadian and former Orlando Magic forward Khem Birch.</p><h2><b>Will the Boban Marjanovic “Wreck-It Ralph” comparisons last?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Boban-Marjanovic-compared-to-Wreck-It-Ralph.jpg"><figcaption>© Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It is a true possibility. Marjanovic is traveling back to the Euroleague where he dominated. He averaged 11.9 points, eight rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. His sheer size makes him a true mismatch for any forward or center he plays against. While it seems sudden for Marjanovic to travel overseas, many NBA veterans have made the switch to the Euroleague. Players like Davis Bertans and Patrick Beverley signed with a Euroleague team, hoping for an expanded role.</p><p>Being in top shape will also help his longevity. Marjanovic might have more years behind him than in front of him. As he heads back to the Euroleague, it’s important to remember what he left with NBA fans. The journeyman has made himself a household name. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/exclusive-boban-marjanovic-tobias-harris-team-up-for-new-adventure">Marjanovic has great friendships with Tobias Harris</a>, Luka Doncic, and other players throughout the league.

A devoted Orlando Magic fan, he deftly balances fervent fandom with insightful reporting, possessing a keen eye for compelling narratives.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Boban Marjanovic, the towering Serbian center, is set to return to the EuroLeague after a nine-year stint in the NBA. The 36-year-old will join Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in what is viewed as a major move in his basketball career. His agent, Misko Raznatovic, <a href="https://x.com/MiskoRaznatovic/status/1836036417232794033" rel="noopener">first teased the transfer</a> through a cryptic tweet referencing the combined Instagram followers of Marjanovic and Fenerbahce, which many interpreted as a sign of the deal. This news has since been confirmed by multiple sources, including reputable basketball outlets such as BasketNews and Eurohoops.</p><p>Marjanovic’s contract with Fenerbahce is <a href="https://x.com/Urbodo/status/1836052438958146027" rel="noopener">reportedly for one year</a>, with a clause allowing both the player and the club to opt out by January 2024. This exit option provides flexibility for both sides to assess how well the partnership is working, making it a practical arrangement for both the team and the veteran center. For Marjanovic, this move marks a return to the EuroLeague for the first time since his stellar 2014-15 season with Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, where he averaged 16.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and earned EuroLeague MVP honors.</p><h2><b>Marjanovic joins growing list of NBA veterans heading overseas with move to Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul</b></h2><p>The Serbian big man’s NBA career kicked off following his success in the EuroLeague. Over the course of his nine years in the NBA, Marjanovic played for six teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks, and most recently, the Houston Rockets. While he was often utilized as a reserve, his sheer size and efficiency made him a fan favorite across the league. In his 331 NBA games, Marjanovic averaged 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, carving out a steady role on each team he played for.</p><p>Marjanovic’s decision to return to Europe follows a broader trend of veteran NBA players opting to play overseas. Patrick Beverley recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patrick-beverley-leaving-nba-overseas">signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv</a>, Evan Fournier joined Olympiacos, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-davis-bertans-spurns-golden-state-tryout-for-dubai-offer">Davis Bertans made the switch to Dubai BC</a>. This movement highlights a growing shift as players seek new opportunities and roles in European and international leagues.</p><p>Fenerbahce, looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season, also signed Canadian forward Khem Birch to replace Luka Samanic. Marjanovic’s return is expected to add immediate impact, particularly in the frontcourt, where his size and experience will be valuable assets.</p><p>As Boban Marjanovic prepares to reunite with the EuroLeague, there is much anticipation to see if the Serbian center can replicate the form that once made him one of Europe’s most dominant players.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s rare for a major NBA free agency signing at this point, but it can happen with surprising roster cuts in camp or veterans holding out for an offer. One such <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-how-lebron-james-inspired-boban-marjanovic-future-retirement-plans">veteran yet to be signed</a> in NBA free agency is Boban Marjanovic, although he <a href="https://www.eurohoops.net/es/eurocup-es/1715172/besiktas-reportedly-extends-offer-to-boban-marjanovic/" rel="noopener">recently picked up an interesting offer</a> as per EuroHoops.net.</p><p>Turkish basketball team Besiktas has reportedly made an offer for Marjanovic to leave the NBA and return overseas. Marjanovic played professionally overseas for just about ten years from 2006-2015 before coming to the NBA.</p><p>Marjanovic recently stated that he was inspired by LeBron James to play until the age of 40. But at this point in the offseason, he has yet to receive an offer from an NBA team. He spent last season on the Houston Rockets roster.</p><p>Throughout his nine year NBA career so far, Marjanovic has become <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-boban-marjanovic-intentionally-misses-shot-to-get-clippers-fans-free-chicken">widely known for his hilarious hijinks</a> in addition to his on the court ability.</p><h2><b>Boban Marjanovic has played nine years in the NBA<br></b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_0703.jpeg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>At age 36, Marjanovic still has four more years to go to reach his goal as he awaits an offer in NBA free agency. His NBA career began in 2015 when he signed a one-year contract with the San Antonio Spurs. He would only play one season for the Spurs before signing a lucrative offer sheet with the Detroit Pistons. The Spurs would decline to match the offer.</p><p>He played only a year and half for the Pistons before ending up with the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2017-18 season in the trade that brought Blake Griffin to Detroit. During the 2018-19 season, the Clippers would trade Marjanovic, along with Tobias Harris who accompanied him from Detroit, to the Philadelphia 76ers.</p><p>Following the 2018-19 season, he signed with the Dallas Mavericks where would play for three seasons. Marjanovic was traded to the Rockets in the 2022 offseason in the deal that brought Christian Wood to Dallas.</p><p>Throughout his career, he’s been a solid backup center albeit seeing his role decreased in recent seasons. Over the course of nine years, he holds career averages of 5.5 points and 2.3 rebounds with splits of 57.8 percent shooting from the field and 76.2 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Although he is older now and probably not as productive on the court, he might still be worth having at the end of the bench and in the locker room for some team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Everyone always has a smile on their face when Marjanovic enters the room, and he conducts himself with such a joy that resonates with those who know him. Although he may not be someone like Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James on the court, Boban understands his role as a mentor and locker room character off the court. That is why he has remained in the league for so long.</p><p>After recently turning 36 years old, Marjanovic is still searching for his next NBA gig as a free agent. With the start of NBA training camp right around the corner, the veteran center is not giving up hope just yet. Despite receiving offers from clubs in other countries, Marjanovic is still waiting to see if there is another opportunity for him in the league.</p><p>More importantly, Boban wants to stay in the NBA for his family and until he is 40 years old, <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/boban-marjanovic-nba-free-agent?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=148287630&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=10980&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">inspiration</a> that he drew from LeBron.</p><p>“I want to stay in [the] NBA; this is the main goal,” Marjanovic said, via NBA insider Marc Stein. “I want my kids to be there and I want myself to be there.”</p><h2><b>Boban Marjanovic’s memorable moments</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Boban-Marjonovich-Rockets.jpeg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Marjanovic has spent the last two seasons as a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-boban-marjanovic-makes-decision-on-houston-return">member of the Houston Rockets</a>, but this roster is currently full with a list of 20 players that includes those who received training camp invites. It does not appear as if the Rockets will be clearing a roster spot for the veteran center.</p><p>Over the course of his nine-year NBA career, Marjanovic has played for six different organizations. In 331 total games, he has averaged 5.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He may not be remembered for his numbers, but Boban will always be remembered for being a true fan of basketball and delivering NBA fans with plenty of memorable, funny moments.</p><p>For example, we should look no further than last season when the Rockets took on the Los Angeles Clippers. On the last day of the regular season, when the Rockets rested a lot of their players, Marjanovic was given the chance to see an increased workload. With 4:44 remaining in the game, Boban stepped to the free-throw line with his team leading.</p><p>Knowing that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-boban-marjanovic-intentionally-misses-shot-to-get-clippers-fans-free-chicken">Clippers run a free chicken promotion</a> if a member of the opposing team misses two straight free-throws, Marjanovic intentionally missed his shots in order to become the people’s champion. After missing his shot, the fans went crazy, and Boban pointed to them to let everyone know that he knew what was going on.</p><p>Aside from fans loving him, Marjanovic’s teammates always hold a place in their hearts for him because of the type of person he is off the court. With the Rockets, a younger team in the league, Boban has made it his mission to help these young players develop not only as basketball players, but as young men as well.</p><p>“Obviously I want to make a difference on the court, but I want to help them in life because they are my friends,” <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/exclusive-boban-marjanovic-tobias-harris-team-up-for-new-adventure">Marjanovic told ClutchPoints in an exclusive interview</a> ahead of the 2023-24 season. “We have a bunch of young guys and to be able to help them begin their journeys means a lot to me. I’m so happy to be back and I’m looking forward to the games starting.”</p><p>It will be very interesting to see if Marjanovic is able to fulfill his LeBron James inspired mission of playing in the NBA until he is 40 years old.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
