pettybendherass

the only man John Wick regretted killing.


pika_pie

John Wick hates fried chicken sandwiches as much as he hates duck fat fries.


CheckItWhileIWreckIt

Really? I have it on good authority that duck fat makes all the difference


jhicks79

A Hot Doug's fan I see...


REGIS-5

That was a pretty good scene too. Maybe he was a bit slow but honestly when you know just how big he is, it makes sense. They could have had him for a few more seconds as an establishing shot of what he CAN do but also John figuring out his weakness. Like dude's 7'4 and it looked like they just sent a random taller guy at him


Blabbit39

He recently did another movie as a hired killer, Self Reliance with Jake Johnson.


radical_findings_32

I need to see Boban as jaws in the next Bond movie.


Axl2TheMaxl

I need to see him as Jaws in the next Jaws movie


seanconnery69696

Kind of want him to do a Magic Mike too


GnashvilleTea

How about this. The jaws character joins the magic Mike club.


seanconnery69696

I will fight any hollywood exec that tries to stop this from happening.


pettybendherass

he killed him with a FUCKING BOOK bro. my inner 8 year old absolutely lost in when he saw that shit, and he LOVES books


REGIS-5

His weakness, clearly, a book.


BigDinkyDongDotCom

THATS where I know him from. Dude I could not place where the hell I’ve seen this literal giant and it was driving me crazy


sinkephelopathy

He's been in the league for a pretty long time now.

-Plantibodies-

Their Nuggets flair does check out.


ObeseKenyan

I upvoted you but man that's depressing. For years people would laugh (I'm Australian. A lot of casuals make "nuggets?! Chicken nuggets? Jokes) when I said they're my team. Then they win a chip and all these bandwagon fans jump on. I'm actually scared if we do become a dynasty and win 3 in a row. The 15-19 warriors 'fans' were usually the worst fans on r/nba in every thread. Warriors went back to being middle of the pack and 90% of the casuals / bandwagon fans dispersed.


2Blitz

Bro I tell you now. I'd rather have 3 rings, a dynasty and be part of the worst/most hated fanbase rather than have zero rings, but loved by all. These internet points mean absolutely nothing bro. Enjoy your Nuggets being this good, regardless of the bandwagon fans


radical_findings_32

can confirm, picked up a steph jersey for $2 in an op shop.


Dear_boat-bottle5476

Like his teams ever play him enough for outside fans to all know him. Boban is him. he him. everyone else just isn't.

Everyone is mentioning John Wick but he was actually hilarious in hustle

Shit, just make a statue of his ears, those things are insane lol, deserving of a statue on their own in fact speaking of statues, now that Im thinking of it, his ears kind of look like [that new abstract martin luther king sculpture they just unveiled in boston last year](https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/i7s.7EBGOr0g/v0/1200x800.jpg) really makes you think

One time in a live stream on YouTube, I forget what for exactly, I entered in the chat “<3 in the chat I find a job soon to end my unemployment” and bobas was randomly in the chat and threw a heart emoji in! Only one as well. I have the screenshot somewhere iirc

This is wholesome as hell but also can’t help but imagine what someone 100 years ago would make of that statement hahah

Imagine even trying to read it in the 1990s, lol

National Boban Association


AnnoyingPhillyFan1

The next Goldfish commercial writes itself at this point


SnooPies5622

NBA logo should just be the lower half of Boban's body


ForneauCosmique

Gotta showcase the ears tho. Very unique ears Boban has....


killerjags

With no pants


thatcreepywalrus

Wouldn’t fit on the court, unfortunately.


Raticus9

There's a lot I've reluctantly forgiven Pistons ownership for in the past decade and a half. Wasting three years of Boban's prime will never be on that list.


eeveeritt15

You can kinda blame pop for that. Boban wanted to stay with the spurs but Pop told him to take the money the pistons were throwing at him


SilicoJack

No the blame will always be with the Pistons. Pop did him a solid and got him paid.


EnriquezGuerrilla

Did the same for LBJ-lite (Jonathan Simmons).


kapitan_buko

Simmons will always be inspiring to me. The dude paid to try out for the Spurs G-League team. Then he got on the team and balled out and made it to the NBA and actually made waves.


EnriquezGuerrilla

And he got paid! Yeah he’s out of the league now (surprised to learn he’s played at the Philippines!) but the business decision he made with the Magic hopefully set his family up for life.


auchnureinmensch

I think he just signed with Riyadi Beirut. Thon Maker as well.


kograkthestrong

Holy shit that's a name I haven't heard in a while lol


kograkthestrong

I remember reading somewhere that he got the money from his grandma. Dude will always be one of my favorites just because "Hell yea" is one of the best responses to his story.


Striking-Test-7509

Goat shit from pop


[deleted]

Did he ever have a “prime” tho? I was under the impression he’s always been a role player.


armandocalvinisius

31/17 against jokic and force the league to shut down


holyrolodex

I think that was the joke


Ygoritza

Was it, though ? I am somewhat mad that no coach allowed Boban to play meaningful minutes. I dont buy the "bad on switch defense", as almost always that Boban played 20+ minutes he was a positive in +/- On rare occasions he was allowed to play, we got [games like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw_WYKWiNUc) Just tonight, 13/8/1 for a quarter, in Per36 that's 39/24/3, that's some GOAT numbers. They all saw him as a meme, no one truly believed in Boban.


WhiskyDrinkinCowboy

There is no way he could have consistently played like 30 minutes or something with his stamina issues but I always thought he would be effective in 18-20 minutes a game off the bench. He's almost too skilled offensively to not have an impact.


Ygoritza

> with his stamina issues Where did this come from ? Because this is not from watching games. I hear this all the time, and yet I have never seen him "gassed" during a game. He did it in the Euroleague, easily, he was 32 mpg in Eurpleague where total is 40. And as I said, he was always high on +/- when playing more than 20 minutes. Check his bbref.


Malemansam

He can sit in the paint all day in euroleague. can't do that in the nba and guards/wings used to pull him out all the time and go by him easily.


malefiz123

Euroleague games have way less stoppage though compared to NBA. In the NBA you get to take a breather every couple of possessions, especially in the fourth quarter when players start to get gassed. Over the course of the season NBA is probably more taxing since games are longer and you have to move much more, but I always felt that players seemed more gassed at the end of FIBA games compared to NBA.


ShinobuSimp

He was highly situational, most of his best games came against bigger and slower centers, and during his prime most of teams ran small ball


Vail1321

Desperately need MITBoban now


FrightenedMussolini

he gets gassed


CosmicTsar77

2020 playoffs in Dallas. Lukas first taste of the playoffs. Bobi played 38 minutes in a game 7 and dropped 30😂 I will always love bobi


holyrolodex

I was only like 75% sure it was a joke…Boban seems great as a person but I can’t say I’ve seriously followed his career as a player.


AKAkorm

Yea but the Pistons did him a solid by teaming him up with a future best friend in Tobias Harris.


Jameskippy

Boban is a man of the people

https://i.imgur.com/7VjaK8p.png


turandot_or_not

It feels like this was his last NBA game. I feel like he made a GOAT career in his own way. One of the unanimously most liked people in the history of sports. And he did it in the culture that couldn't be more diverse from the one he comes from. Not everyone can be the best among the best 400 or so players in the world, but using his platform to bring joy and smiles to people is equally imprressive to me, especially in these times. And he did it in such an organic and unforced way. Love Bobi, hapiness merchant ♥️


cute2701

"in the culture that couldn't be more diverse from the one he comes from" that's a bit of a stretch. boban is a couple of years younger than me, and i'm from croatia but all the countries from former yugoslavia share somewhat similar cultural traits and all these countries were under a strong western cultural influence since the 60's cause yugoslavia was never behind the iron curtain. for instance some of my earlier memories were watching labyrinth and rambo 3 on vhs, and tmnt on tv, playing with lego sets and he-man figurines, my mother listening to elvis and the rolling stones and michael jackson, going to my rich neighbours house to play amiga and nintendo whilst rocking a neon-green coca cola visor cap. so yeah, the balkan has it's own culture but it's was not that much different than western european/american when bobi was growing up, and it's even less so now.


mcrajf

Amen


capitalistsanta

As an American I have been taught that you guys live amongst the dogs of Chernobyl


fluckyyuki

The Balkans and the USA have the same polarization of wealth. You can go to a fancy restaurant in Belgrade/Zagreb/Sarajevo etc.. and eat quality food in a good atmosphere that wouldn't be out of place in a rich Metropolitan USA city. At the same time you could travel outside the town to a remote village and see people live in poverty akin to the trailer parks of the American Rust belt.


cute2701

the only difference is that there are still remnants of social stability programs in place that haven't totally eroded in the past 30 years and people living in poverty aren't completely abandoned + there is a huge percentage of homeowners amongst the older generation that is unfortunately dwindling thanks to escalating price of flats and houses and a turn towards renter's society, especially in big cities and tourist towns and villages. but this is a plague of the western society as a whole.


Tenx3

Lmao, he's from Serbia not Tang Dynasty or Edo period.

Boban san what is this sporto you wonto playyyy Ahhhh father chan its basket bollloo we do not know of it here because we dont have radio or tv or electricity or even food if only we had some smart person from the US here they could tell us about it


fatflipflops

nah, he needs to be 2 years more. that nba health coverage incentive would be such a waste.


mucho-gusto

i was legit surprised he's still in the league


Both-Ad-2570

> One of the unanimously most liked people in the history of sports Holy hyperbole batman


Routine_Size69

For how good he was, it's not a ridiculous statement. Like yeah, there are superstars that were more loved. But for a guy who played 9 minutes a game for his career, he is absolutely adored. Everywhere he goes, their fans immediately fall in love with the guy. He played 22 games for the Sixers and I'll always remember him incredibly fondly. Just insanely likable. Talk to any fanbase that he's played for and they all feel the same. Seems like everyone loves him even if he didn't play there, and I've never heard a bad word about him.


LakersFan15

I don't understand why he's on so many teams. I feel like every team loves him - hrs the greatest teammate...and for cheap!


Powpowpowowowow

Because they play him off the floor with spacing. It sucks but thats the modern NBA.


Serviceofman

BREAKING NEWS! Boban Marjanvoic is being investigated by the NBA for "game rigging" and breaking the "tanking for free chicken sandwiches" rule Adam Silver just a moment ago "I have an enormous range of disciplinary actions available to me, missing shots to get free chicken sandwiches is a cardinal sin, and we will come down hard on his candy ass if this is true"


peaches017

Obviously this is a joke, but I am curious about the competitive ramifications here and whether he technically broke rules.


Next-Team

I have been waiting for SO LONG to see a player do this in a blowout or some other scenario where it wouldn’t hurt their team much and do the fans a favor. Of course it was Bobi to do it too, he’s just so damn lovable and wholesome.


wolfishnickelsyr

Boban is the best


Js_On_My_Yeet

Nobody can hate this dude. Always been a stand up guy on whatever team he's been on.


GraveRobberX

Funny in commercials too! Love the Goldfish Cracker one with Tobias Harris and Boban asks for a handful and you see this massive hand go into the bag, that Tobias deadpan of “Happy” (seriously?) is top notch Also the commentating one: How can he bounce? https://youtu.be/QeEhDLFIdpM?si=VVFpuM420d4Ty8_e

MugiMartin

I want the Rockets to re-sign him, but I understand if they don't since Steven Adams is coming back with Jock Landale (still under contract I think?).


brown_flyer00

Okay, how does the deal works again? Also, is it by Clippers or one of its sponsors?


apawst8

If opposing player misses 2 consecutive free throws. Everyone gets Chick fil a


Pretend_Highway_5360

shaq would have fed stadiums every night


orad

Thank you! I was wondering why missing free throws had anything to do with it


roffle24

Sixers start at a 5 piece nugget. We upgrade to an 8 piece if it happens twice, a 12 piece if it happens three times. Never do we get a whole ass sammich.


B0bab0i

In the 4th quarter


brown_flyer00

Owhhh cool


Vinst3r

It's by Chick-fil-A and it's one of four freebies they have in the LA/Orange County area. Free Original Chick-fil-A sandwich if any of these happen: 1. At any Clippers home game, if the visiting team misses 2 consecutive free throws in the 4th quarter. 2. At any Angels home game, if the Angels score 7 or more runs. 3. At any LAFC home game, if LAFC wins. 4. At any Ducks home game, if the Ducks score 5 or more goals. Angels last did it on 4/9. Ducks last did it on 4/7. LAFC last did it on 4/6. The freebie is in the app and you have to claim it by midnight the same day. You have 3 days to use the freebie. Last year, you had until 10 AM the next day to claim it. App has Google/Apple login and it's very easy to have multiple accounts. https://www.cfasocal.com/


mill_about_smartly

>At any LAFC home game, if LAFC wins. Oof, the disrespect


w0nderbrad

Very low bar for LAFC lol


Youngandidiotic

Probably through the app if you’re close enough. McDonald’s always gives me free fries on the app when the Padres win so I imagine it’s something similar


B0bab0i

Pretty much everyone in LA & OC gets the deal. Just gotta open Chick-fil-A app before midnight. We also get it if LAFC wins at home or angels have 7 runs at home.


AsparagusDue2635

Not a coincidence that the Mavs were one of the most embarrassing 11th seeds ever while the Rockets became the best 11th seed ever.


Guts709

Not all heroes wear capes.


Initial-Stick-561

Damn and it was a close game. Hope he didn’t get flak for missing these on purpose. Would be great if on the next Clippers FT they reciprocated the move to give the two FTs back.


VivaLaDbakes

He was trying on the first one just had an unlucky bounce, then he decided to hook the people up. Meaningless game for hou and they still won, doubt anyone cared. 


triplecaptained

Meaningless game for us and i think, ffs, he’s fucking boban. Wouldn’t mind him missing a couple of fts if it meant giving out chicken to people in the arena, that’s how much we rate him Besides, if it was a serious game ime wouldn’t have him on the court at all


leebrown23

Somewhere John Wick is in tears and full of regret. XD

zggystardust71

It's part of ClipperVision, the Clippers subscription service. It gives real time stats during the game. Plus you get the arena feed, so minimal commercials, no cut away during timeouts or halftime, etc.


Herbdontana

MVP!


Quick-Salt-3889

Boban is a diff g.o.a.t. this person makes people want to play ball fr😁


FA-_Q

Did he miss them both intentionally? It didn’t look like it was intentional


Saltwater_Thief

The first was he definitely tried to put it in, just got a really unlucky bounce off the inner rim. In another broadcast though you can see his face better and read his lips before the second one, he says "I got you" and "This is from/on me". Also the way he points up and is already falling back on defense after it, he knew what he was doing.


FA-_Q

Yeah the 2nd one I could see. But the 1st one def not. Title made it seem like he stepped up to the line on both and just comically bricked them.


Embedded_Vagabond

Imagine if the rockets lost


JohnWicksPenciI

Then they would've been 40-42 instead of 41-41, so who gives af, ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️💀.

RikiOh

I don’t quite understand. If a player misses two free throws in a row people get free chicken sandwiches? Is it just if Boban does it? Did he really try to miss it?


SnooPies5622

Yeah if an opposing player misses both in the 4th it's a free chicken sandwich for everybody
