tall black basketball player laughing friend BOBAN MARJANOVIC
Boban Marjanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бобан Марјановић;  born 1988) is a Serbian professional basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA. He has also represented the Serbian national basketball team in international competitions. Standing at 7 ft 3 in (2.21 m), he plays the center position. Already a giant at 14 years old  he joined a professional team in Serbia and was surrounded by adults.  From 2010 to 2015 he played in various European teams. 

On July 17, 2015, Marjanović signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs. He made his NBA debut on October 30, recording 6 points and 5 rebounds in the Spurs' 102–75 win over the Brooklyn Nets. On December 4, he was assigned to the Austin Spurs, San Antonio's D-League affiliate. He was recalled by San Antonio on December 6, and the following day, scored 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting in a 119–68 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

On December 28, in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Marjanović provided a spark off the bench with Tim Duncan out injured and LaMarcus Aldridge limited to six points. Marjanović scored 17 points on 7-of-7 shooting in just 14 minutes to help the Spurs defeat the Timberwolves 101–95 and extend their franchise-record home winning streak to 27 games (dating to 2014–15 season). Two days later, in a win over the Phoenix Suns, he became the first player in Spurs franchise history to record 12 rebounds in 15 minutes or less. On January 21, 2016, he recorded 17 points and a career-high 13 rebounds in a 117–89 win over the Phoenix Suns. On March 20, he was reassigned to the Austin Spurs, earning a recall two days later. On March 23, he scored a then career-high 19 points in a 112–88 win over the Miami Heat. On April 13, in the team's regular season finale, Marjanović recorded a career-high 22 points and 12 rebounds in a 96–91 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

IVO HÖGER
7'5" Ivo Höger  (born 1982) is a Czech basketball player.   He has played for teams in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Georgia (not the peach kind).  Currently he plays for the Svendborg Rabbits. The RABBITS?  That also the name of an Australian rugby team.  What is with people naming their team after bunnies? It sounds ridiculous to me and I come from Cincinnati, Ohio, where the baseball team is named after the color of their socks.

BORIS BOJANOVSKY
Boris Bojanovsky plays center for the Florida State University Seminoles.  That means his jersey says F U.  I swear it does!  He is 7'3" and weighs 250 lbs.   He was born in 1993 in Slovakia.


BORIS BOJANOVSKY GOES BOWLING
7'0" giants Boris Bojanovsky and Michael Ojo go bowling, one of the least sexy sports on the planet (after curling).  Who is the better bowler, who can handle his balls?  Frankly, I want to know where they get the size 22 bowling shoes!
