He is 2.24 meters tall and weighs a staggering 131 kilograms, with delicate technique under the basket, a soft feel, and a good three-point shot. Why does such a player with both height and outside range not get playing time in the Mavericks and Jazz games? Today, we will tell the story of Boban-Majanovich.
Born in Serbia, a famous basketball powerhouse, Daboban is a fellow countryman with Jokic, who is now in the NBA, and has a particularly good personal relationship. Since childhood, Boban has been selected into the professional basketball team early because of his outstanding height, but due to its slow rate, he has not been expected to play so well in the professional team, and although the outstanding height has brought him a unique advantage, it has also made him the object of a lot of small defenders on the field, because he is too slow. So, in the first few years, he didn't get much attention, and in the end, in the 2010 NBA Draft, he also lost early.
After losing the election, he began to reflect and work harder to polish his skills, although his innate ability was insufficient, but he worked hard enough, and his tenacity finally paid off! After a few years in the Serbian Premier League, in the 14-15 season, he finally began to show his talent, averaging 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 19 games for Belgrade, and was elected MVP of the Serbian Premier League, and in the subsequent Champions League, he scored 16.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1 assist, and was selected for the first team of the Champions League. Such a brilliant performance has made him a big boost in The Famous European Arena.
Of course, such a player certainly can't escape the eyes of spur scouts.
On July 11, 2015, when the NBA was already being led by a storm of small balls blown up by Curry, the Spurs unexpectedly won big Boban with a $1.2 million basic salary contract, which officially began his adventure in the NBA.
On December 29, 2015, in the Spurs' 101-95 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Boban played 15 minutes, shooting 7 of 7, scoring 17 points and 4 rebounds, setting a new career high in single-game shooting. He showed a solid inside line in the game, a big hook, no doubt brought us back to the previous NBA that beautiful era, that move and style are quite methodical, the inside line of each boss has a trick, unlike the current league, the inside line is generally blue collar. But unfortunately, Boban was born in the wrong era after all, the time when the inside line was king has passed, and there are not many big men like Boban who can play dazzling games on the field, because as long as they play, the small man on the other side will seize his point to take turns in military training, and now it really belongs to the era of small fast spirits. Therefore, Boban in the Spurs, has always been to play at a specific time, to change the opponent's defensive strategy of the player, this positioning is somewhat similar to the Bonner in the Spurs, so Boban also has a nuclear weapon in the Spurs.
At the end of the season, Boban averaged 5.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, although the data is not bright, but it also clearly shows what kind of damage he can bring to the opposite side in a limited time as long as he plays! In the offseason, the Spurs offered Boban a qualification quotation contract, and the Detroit Pistons offered Boban for a 3-year, $21 million offer, for which Bobo was also very generous, personally sent Boban away from the Spurs, and left the classic quote: "Get out and get your big contract."
At this point, Boban began his wandering career, the Clippers 76 people have left his figure, on July 25, 2019, the Dallas Lone Rangers signed Boban, teamed up with the former South's supernova Luka Doncic, until now.
Speaking of the opening question, the reason why Boban didn't get playing time in the lone ranger and Jazz playoff games is simple. Now is a downright small ball era, pay attention to the speed and range, Boban range is acceptable, but the rate is too slow, as long as one plays will become the opponent's CASH machine, to the team basically can not play any role, look at the opposite of the league's first high-paid inner line Yi Bell, also in the playoffs to play a mess, can only say, as a 2 meter 24 prehistoric beast, Boban is really born in the wrong era.
Finally, the question came to my mind, if Yao Ming is in this era, can he still play an All-Star performance? Friends, what do you think?
