Face to face with Boban Marjanovic, the NBA's most intimidating giant
San Antonio Spurs center Boban Marjanovic stands 7-foot-3 with hands that could palm a small planet. He's the NBA's newest cult hero, as we detailed in December, and one of its most intimidating players to boot.
Matt Barnes is all of us.
Barnes came face-to-face (well, more like face-to-navel) with Boban during a Tuesday night playoff game between the Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies. His reaction as Boban defends an inbounds pass (via The Cauldron) says it all: Now what in the hell am I supposed to do here?

Barnes, for the record, isn't some shrimp -- he's 6-foot-7 himself.
Boban's Spur's, meanwhile, womped Barnes' Grizzlies on Tuesday night, 94-68. After a 106-74 win in the series opener, San Antonio is now up two games to none.
Barnes summarized the situation aptly Tuesday night, telling a reporter, "We're coming to a gunfight with spoons."
That's a fantastic way of putting it -- but this Vine sums up the situation just as well.
