Boban is taking his basketball talents to a new home.

This week, news emerged that the 7-foot-4 former NBA center Boban Marjanovic has signed a new contract.

Marjanovic has signed with KK Ilirija, a Slovenian team which announced the move in a press release.

Boban is 37 years old now and split last season between Fenerbahce in Turkey and the Zhejiang Lions in China.

Marjanovic first arrived in the NBA in 2015-16 for the San Antonio Spurs.

He would then play for the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets.

All told, Marjanovic appeared in 331 NBA games and shot 57.8% from the floor. He averaged 5.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.

Boban has become well known of late thanks to his presence in multiple commercials. He certainly made himself a notable presence even while being a player who didn't often see big minutes in NBA games.

His basketball career is likely slowly trending toward its end, but Marjanovic should still be able to do some damage on the court in Slovenia.
