LA Clippers big man Boban Marjanović is quite a character, as most fans of the team know. In fact, he's often seen cracking jokes or practicing his dance moves with teammates — both on and off the floor. Without a doubt, he's a talented basketball player, but how is his tennis game?
During a recent trip to his native Serbia, Bobi took some time to practice his tennis skills. Just keep in mind that he's 7-3 and playing on a clay surface.

Marjanović managed to return a few volleys, but it seems as though his tennis game could use a bit of refinement.
On the hardwood, however, Marjanović has made a name for himself. The 30-year-old is a three-time Serbian League MVP and has won championships in several European leagues, including the Baltic (2011), Lithuanian (2011), and Serbian (2015).
Marjanović split last season with the Clippers and Detroit Pistons. In his 39 games played, he managed to rack up averages of 6.1 points on 54 percent shooting from the field, 3.7 rebounds, and just under one block per outing (0.95).
The Clippers acquired Marjanović in January by way of a trade with the Detroit Pistons. Since joining the NBA, he has developed a close friendship with Tobias Harris, who was also a part of LA's deal with Detroit. The two teammates have grown in popularity so much that they have been given a nickname: “Bobi & Tobi.”

Maybe we will see Bobi and Tobi on the tennis court at some point.
