Sunday’s “SC Featured” segment on SportsCenter will explore the story of Boban Marjanovic, a Serbian who plays for the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.
Some feel that “Boban” might be the most beloved player in the league, whether it’s his 7-foot, 4-inch height, his outgoing personality, his work ethic – or his hilarious impersonation of Lurch from “The Addams Family” TV show saying, “You rang?” Gavin Cote produced the feature, which was reported by Sam Borden. It will debut in the 8 a.m. ET edition of SportsCenter.

“I'm always working on my team, my family and me. And I'm not always happy with where I am. But I'm learning to forgive myself and to love on myself a bit more. I often tell myself. It's OK that things aren't always perfect; you're doing the best you can.” https://t.co/NqMXPngdPP
