Would be so fun

We had that one season in Belgrade where he did put some Arvydas Sabonis esque Euro numbers, Spurs signed him right away. Even then, we had doubters for good reason, who would show metrics how Zvezda is actually better without him despite his ridiculous numbers, but yeah, ability to produce sheer numbers was never an issue for him.

I always felt that his bad defense helped him get those numbers and usage rate. And you might not see the connection, but think about it. When you put Boban on the floor, coach knows and all the teammates know, that he is huge liability on the defensive there. So much so, that you want to use Boban on the other end, to use his advantage, just to make sure you get the points back. Like, if you actually put Boban in, and he is not even getting fed every time, you are just in the red, you get nothing positive, so it becomes that mental burden for everyone involve, if we have Boban, if he ain't scoring, its just a fail plain and simple. I image it reaches the point where even if team scores, but score has nothing to do with Boban, it still probably does not feel the same, like Boban HAS to get his 26 per 36 minutes, or we are just digging ourselves in a hole, even if that's not case sometimes.

If anyone seriously lost a big sum on a Boban prop bet, **** them. They deserve to live a failed life.

he can definitely be in a horror movie or even in a marvel playing one of those giant fictional characters. He can be flexible as an actor I'll give you that

Everyone likes Boban. I went to the game and sat close to the rockets bench. Every time someone from the rockets checked out Boban stood up first to give them a high five. Mind you most other players don't even stand up

Since it’s Murica I totally expect that Chick fil-a could successfully sue Boban for their losses :lol:

they would, except for the fact that his act, is now trending and spreading virally and they got 1000x the exposure they get from their usual in-game promotion involving two missed FT's haha :)

Ugh, I can't tell you how many times I've had a Chick Fil-A craving on a Sunday, It's almost a running joke, if I feel like Chick Fil-A it must be Sunday

Translation for non Americans (although googling it I see Chick Fil-a actually plans to open a few locations in Britain in 2025): Chick Fil-A was founded in Georgia which is a deep south state and the founder was a fervent Baptist. Despite how big the chain got even now and after his death none of them are open on Sundays as a company policy.
