Aryvdas Sabonis...What Could Have Been

[froggle]

Won't say he would have gone down as the GOAT center but I remember when he played for the blazers and some of the things that he did I was pretty impressed.

So if Sabonis came over when had gotten drafted, what would we be saying about him today ?

 

[Miggs]

Nah he wouldnt have been the GOAT but he would have went down as the goat euro to play in the NBA,its a shame he wasnt allowed to come over here in his prime...

 

[raidersreceiver]

If only he would have played with us in his prime

 

[tofuspeedstar]

Whatever happened to him?

 

[PTBG]

at the way he shytted on and dominated Robinson in the Olympics

 

[I.V.]

He's a top 10 Center ever.

In his prime, he'd be considered below Kareem/Wilt/Shaq/Hakeem - probably at the top of that next tier with Ewing, Robinson, etc.

Somebody like @Malta could bring some light to the situation.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

he was just alright on the Blazers but that was after all those injuries and past his prime


gave Admiral that work in the 88 Olympics

but then again we all know that you can't depend on Spurs big men to lead your team to a gold medal

Better than Dirk

 

[Miggs]

Better than Dirk

I think he would have been a 20/10 player for 10 years had he come over in the mid 80s,tough to say for sure but look at how he was big brotherin D Rob in the Goodwill games in 86...He played big and had Dream like passing and shooting skills...

This cat had tons of game and you could still see it in Portland when he was flabby with 2 busted knees.

Past his prime plus his body broke down on him real fast once he got to the NBA

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

I remember watchin him in the Real Madrid days

 

[luckyse7enz]

I remember really liking this guy when I was a kid. Way past his prime when he was on the Blazers but I was still when I watched him play.

Anybody remember that one multi-overtime game between the Suns and the Blazers where Sabonis hit that 3 to send it into OT and then Rex Chapman hit another 3 to either send it into another OT or win it. shyt was classic.

Miss the days of swagged-up, charismatic Euro big men like Sabonis, Smits, and Divac. The NBA needs more cats like that.

Not To Put Down David Robinson Cuz He's A Great

But What The fukk He Ever Win Before Tim Duncan Gifted Him A Chip On His Way Out? :scustshump:

Lets Not Act Like He Wasnt Seeing Early Playoffs Exists

Robinson Had Duncan, Ewing Had John Starks

Dont Start No Stuff

 

[Mr.Black]

he could've been a heavier dirk, thats all, he wouldnt have won a title with the blazers
