The LA Clippers are entering a 2018-19 season that has more questions than answers. What direction will the team be going in? How much will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson develop in their rookie years? Is Tobias Harris a better dancer than Boban Marjanovic? Apparently, we already know the answer to that last one.
During a Basketball Without Borders camp, Clippers center Marjanovic was interviewed by Eurohoops, and told them he's obviously the better dancer.
“Who is the better dancer?” Marjanovic recalls the question before answering with a laugh. “Well, of course me! Who is Tobias? We do that together before playing against other teams.”
Marjanovic and Harris have developed a great relationship over the last couple of years with the Detroit Pistons, and it has carried over into their time with the LA Clippers. Their positivity and charisma has brought an uplifting vibe to the Clippers locker room, making games more fun. DeAndre Jordan even joined Harris and Marjanovic in what became a nightly pre-game dance routine at the free throw line.

When Harris first arrived to Los Angeles following the trade between the Clippers and Pistons, I asked him how on earth he got the giant 7-foot-3 center to dance as often and fluidly as he does.
“Not much,” Harris told ClutchPoints with a big smile. “One thing to know about Boban is that he’s a great guy, great charisma to him, he always is dancing, so then I had to show him a couple moves to get his flow right. Boban is one of my best friends, so when I heard of the trade, and I got word that Boban and Avery were coming also, that made it better. The last trade I was in, it was just me, so it’s good to have two familar faces with me here.”
