On September 22, Boban Mayanovich posted a photo of himself on Ins and wrote: "Call me Bruce Lee! (Call me Bruce Lee)". NBA players such as Jordan Poole and Paul George have liked this set of photos. Although Boban has no ball to play, he is very self-disciplined. How many stars are ashamed of this muscle?

Boban was born on August 15, 1988 and just turned 37 years old. The offseason is about to end, and Boban has not received any contract, whether in the NBA or overseas leagues. In early January this year, Boban joined the Guangsha Men's Basketball Team in the CBA. After playing 4 games, Boban was cancelled and failed to follow Guangsha to play in the CBA playoffs. In his short CBA career, Boban averaged 11.8 minutes per game, scoring only 4.8 points, 5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.8 steals, and shot 42.1% from the field. In one of the games, Boban played for 18 minutes, scored 5 of 8 shots and scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. The performances in the other few games were disappointing, and Boban was far from meeting the expectations of Guangsha fans.

In fact, before joining the CBA, Boban's condition was no longer good. In September 2024, Boban and Türkiye's giant Fenerbahce officially signed a contract. On December 23, the two parties completed the termination of the contract. Boban averaged 10.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.4 blocks per game in the Turkish League; he averaged only 4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0 blocks per game in the European Basketball League.

Boban is 2.24 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.34 meters, and weighs 135 kilograms. He is known as the "NBA humanoid nuclear weapon"! His last time in the NBA was in the 2023-24 season. He played 14 games with the Rockets, averaged 5.1 minutes per game, scored 3.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.1 blocks, shooting percentage of 52.9% and free throw percentage of 64.3%.

In fact, Boban's last three seasons in the NBA (Mavericks and Rockets) had played less than 5.7 minutes, and he has completely become a fringe player. Why do these teams have to sign for a PhD team? He has a very popular reputation and fans and players like Boban. Cousins ​​is far better than Boban, but he left the NBA in 2022.

Boban has first-class static talent, but unfortunately he moves too slowly and is no longer suitable for modern basketball trends. Boban is a Serbian player and he played twice in the European Cup and once in the national team. In the 2017 European Cup, Boban helped Serbia win the runner-up. He averaged 12.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, and shot 56.2% from the field.

Boban was a 2010 NBA draft pick. He joined the Spurs in the summer of 2015 for $1.2 million and officially entered the NBA at the age of 27. Boban played 330 regular season games in the NBA, with 25 starting games. He averaged 8.7 minutes per game, scored 5.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.3 blocks, shooting percentage of 57.8% and free throw percentage of 76.2%.

Nine years of NBA career, Boban's total salary is about $39.7 million. Boban has a close personal relationship with players such as Doncic, Jokic, Harris, and every team he has played for likes him. Boban played in the Clippers for two seasons. Although he left the team for many years, he would always say hello to every staff member whenever he came to the Clippers' home court.

The career is about to end. What memories do you still have for Boban?
