Solid player who paved the way for a lot of the euro guys who came after him.

The strange thing about it too, was it seemed like he was about to leave back for Europe. Even still, I remember how broken up Willis Reed was when he passed.
Drazen was a straight killer...that 30 for 30 doc on him was

I doubt Portland knew how good he was either. They were set in their starting backcourt with Drexler & Porter, with veteran Ainge still a solid bench player.
The Blazers had bad luck in not being able to get Sabonis. The Soviets ran Sabonis to the ground, just like China ran Yao to the ground.
Portland should have had at least one post-Walton title. In the late 80s/early 90s, or in 2000.

Back then Euros had a stigma for being soft but he dispelled that stereotype.
I just read how he died and remembered he was in a car accident but I didn't realize his car slammed going 110mph into a stopped semi.

I also watched a lot of Sarunas Marciulionis a lot when he was on the Warriors.
He was far from soft, I always thought he was too aggressive for his own good.
Gone way 2 soon very underrated player. A straight killer
