Furthermore, he even made a cameo as a villain in the movie "John Wick: Chapter 3," that included a fight scene with Keanu Reeves, who was portrayed as the main character.
In his last game as an NBA player, Boban made the fans of his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, very happy as he missed a free throw on purpose. To note, whenever an opposing player from the away team misses both free throws vs. the Clippers, everyone in the crowd receives free chicken sandwiches.
