Boban Marjanovic

Peter Crouch is mostly known for his height. At 2.01 meters he is one of the tallest footballers in the world. Crouch has scored some wonder goals but still, his primary asset as a footballer is his aerial ability.

While most basketballers are tall but a centre probably fits the bill as they rely lesser on skill and more on their height. In the active centres, Boban Marjanovic comes to mind. Boban is 2.22 meters and one of the tallest basketballers active right now. He is one of the five Serbian players active in the NBA right not. He represents the Los Angeles Clippers.

While I do not wish to undermine the skill of both Boban or Crouch but it would be a lie to not mention how useful their height is in their respective sports.
