Boban Marjanovic’s unexpected college band moment adds a fun twist to his post-NBA journey

Boban Marjanovic, a Serbian basketball player, has been pursuing an acting career in addition to being in the NBA and abroad for the past few years.

He was sitting with the University of Arizona band on Wednesday night as the No. 4 Wildcats defeated BYU. He was seen sitting in with a college pep band while playing the triangle. As Marjanovic was wearing Arizona's colors and brandishing a triangle, it was easy to identify him in the crowd. Now that his NBA career was almost done, he was enjoying every moment of college while sitting next to the Wildcats' school band.

During his visit, he said:"We just recently finished the Robin Hood TV series. It's fun… Of course, my role is not huge, but I really have fun to be in that TV show where they have good ratings and good reputation so far."

It is the most recent destination on Marjanovic's entertaining college trip. He even participated in the Wildcats' newspaper stunt while sitting with students at Gampel Pavilion during last week's women's match between Villanova and Creighton. Before that, he entertained the audience during a break in the game while watching Villanova play Marquette at Finneran Pavilion.However, it is still unclear if Marjanovic is just watching college basketball as a fan or if he's doing it for a documentary or internet material.

I lived here for two years. It's been amazing to be part of all this."Earlier this month, Marjanović sat with the Villanova student section for the Wildcats' victory over Marquette. After that, he went to a UConn women's game and even got a byline in the online version of the school newspaper. He seems to be enjoying his time off from the NBA.
