Marjanovic, 36, a native of Serbia, became a beloved figure because of his gregarious personality. He was featured in multiple national advertising campaigns, a rarity for a reserve player.

Marjanovic played professionally for several years in Europe before beginning his NBA career with the San Antonio Spurs in 2015.
