The Clippers should blow it up and build around Bobi.
Boban Marjanovic is unstoppable. He is Big Shaq Diesel, if Shaq was more of a novelty than a star. He’s 7’3” with a 7’10” wingspan, and the NBA has no answer for that kind of size. That includes the Denver Nuggets, who Marjanovic’s Clippers opened their season against on Wednesday night.
Boban came off the bench and scored 18 points in 18 minutes, on 6-of-8 shooting from the field at that. He was one of just two Clippers with a positive plus/minus in their 107-98 loss. That’s because Denver couldn’t do much about him for the time he was in the game.
What do you do when someone can dunk without jumping? That’s the equation the Nuggets had to solve on Wednesday. No, they didn’t come up with an answer.
yeah, NO ONE was going to stop Boban on this dunk

He did it more than once. Every time he was in the paint, someone got him the ball.

HE’S NOT JUMPING.

Boban pulled a Shaq Diesel move and broke the rim. Well, he bent the rim, but you get the point. The man is doing things that should not be done.

The Staples Center crowd even gave him MVP chants for good measure.

Yes, the Clippers still lost; they’re supposed to since Denver’s a pretty good team. But on a court with multiple All-Stars past, present and future, Boban was the most unstoppable player out there.
Blow it all up and build around him, Doc. You can’t go wrong here. It’s a no-brainer.
