Around the streets of Vrsac, Serbia, a very recognizable resident can be found doing two things people like to watch. One is playing basketball for Hemofarm Stada, the most famous team in the area. The other is climbing out of his sporty little car. And since he so loves his car, Hemofarm center Boban Marjanovic typically gets out of the Fiat Stilo Coupe with a smile on his face. "I have no problem getting in that little car," he jokes. "I am not so big." A gentle giant of 2.22 meters, Marjanovic is merely the tallest Eurocup player for the second year in a row. Last season, he and Hemofarm reached the Eurocup semifinals in what was a breakout season for Marjanovic. He became a full-time starter, scoring or rebounding in double figures in six out of the team's 14 games. Now 21, Marjanovic is ready to keep learning and filling the middle for Hemofarm as they aim even higher in the 2009-10 Eurocup.
