One of the NBA’s favorite bromances was torn apart on Wednesday, as big man Boban Marjanovic agreed to sign a two-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. That means he is leaving the Philadelphia 76ers behind, and it could be the end of “The Bobi and Tobi Show” as we know it.
Marjanovic and Tobias Harris have played for three different teams together over the past two seasons, as they were both traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Los Angeles Clippers two seasons ago and then from the Clippers to the Philadelphia 76ers back in February. They eventually became known as “The Bobi and Tobi Show” and even made some hilarious spoofs together.
NEW BOBI + TOBI
Will @tobias31 survive @BobanMarjanovic's spin class?

Harris signed a max contract to remain with the Sixers this week, so you can imagine how he felt about Marjanovic inking a deal with Dallas. At first, he seemed crushed.

But when Harris got control of his emotions, he mustered up the courage to wish Boban well with the Mavs and assured fans “The Bobi and Tobi Show” must go on.

Boban is a fan favorite both because of his personality and massive 7-foot-3 stature, which once drew a hilarious description from one of his former teammates. We’re happy to hear that Harris is planning to keep the bromance going.
