Boban Marjanovic was a fan favorite with the Clippers, just as he has been at every stop in his NBA career: the man radiates the joy of getting to play a game for a living.
Boban is now becoming even more popular with Clippers fans. During the fourth quarter of the Clippers’ meaningless final game of the season against the Rockets (both teams’ fates had been decided), Boban stepped to the free throw line and missed his first shot. The crowd cheered because the Clippers are having a promotion where if an opponent misses consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter, everyone gets a coupon for a free Chic-Fil-A chicken sandwich. People LOVE free food. Watch what Boban does next.
That’s him saying, “I got you,” and then deliberately missing a free throw, followed by a little celebration with the crowd. Boban is the best.
He wasn’t done yet, there was also a moment when 6-foot-1 Boban lost a jump ball to even 6-foot-1 Xavier Moon.
Maybe this game was pointless, but Boban made it a lot of fun.
