San Antonio Spurs undrafted rookie Boban Marjanovic checks in 7’3″, so it’s no surprise he’s got a massive frame, but in an interview with Andrew Monaco of the Spurs broadcast team, Marjanovic showed how big his hands are.

With those mitts, the 27-year-old probably has to special order gloves. They rival teammates Kawhi Leonard’s massive hands and maybe even Andre the Giant.

The three-time Serbian Super League MVP isn’t just a sight to be seen, but he’s actually a pretty good basketball player.

In 17 games, while seeing limited action with the Spurs, Marjanovic is averaging 4.8 points per game, 2.5 rebounds, while shooting .659 percent from the field, including a 7-7 performance Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It’s a small sample size, but he’s actually got a higher PER than Stephen Curry.

Marjanovic is still learning how to play in the NBA, but it seems the Spurs have found themselves another diamond in the rough. I’m very much looking forward to his highlight pack at season’s end.
