Not too many guys in the NBA have a size advantage over Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard. Boban Marjanovic is one of those guys.

Howard desperately tried to score over the top of Marjanovic during Thursday's exhibition between the Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. But Marjoanovic swatted him away with ease. Twice. Without standing.

Boban entered the NBA restart averaging just over nine minutes per game on the season, but his 7-foot-4 frame proved too much for Howard in this particular instance.

Of course, the good-natured Marjanovic also had to throw in a smile for good measure.

The Mavs are a dark horse in the Western Conference as they get set for the final eight games. Dallas trails the fifth-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder by just 1.5 games, and it is also just 2.5 games back of the Utah Jazz for the fourth seed.
