Aryvdas Sabonis...What Could Have Been

[ThaBronxBully]

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

I Knew Someone Was Gonna Come In Here And Say That, So Predictable

 

[GetInTheTruck]

He's not your vydas, he's not my vydas, he's Arvydas

 

[Mr.Black]

because that shyt is true, i mean it's not like he was gonna be a top 10 anything

shyt he wouldn't even have been the best player the blazers ever had

 

[GzUp]

Him and divac were my favorite foreign players.

Divac Would Have Been A Better Comparison If You Wanted To Go With Tall White Foreign Guys With A Jumper Comparisons :scustshump:


And I Would Have Taken A Young Sabonis Over Divac Every Time

 

[blackzeus]

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

I you for ridin' for NY, but let's be reality:

Knicks '98 roster:

11 Rick Brunson PG 6-4 190 June 14, 1972 1 Temple University
23 Marcus Camby C 6-11 220 March 22, 1974 2 University of Massachusetts Amherst
1 Chris Childs PG 6-3 195 November 20, 1967 4 Boise State University
4 Ben Davis PF 6-9 240 December 26, 1972 2 University of Arizona
14 Chris Dudley C 6-11 235 February 22, 1965 11 Yale University
33 Patrick Ewing C 7-0 240 August 5, 1962 13 Georgetown University
20 Allan Houston SG 6-6 200 April 20, 1971 5 University of Tennessee
2 Larry Johnson PF 6-6 250 March 14, 1969 7 University of Nevada, Las Vegas
3 Dennis Scott SF 6-8 229 September 5, 1968 8 Georgia Institute of Technology
8 Latrell Sprewell SF 6-5 190 September 8, 1970 6 University of Alabama
40 Kurt Thomas PF 6-9 230 October 4, 1972 3 Texas Christian University
21 Charlie Ward PG 6-2 190 October 12, 1970 4 Florida State University
32 Herb Williams C 6-10 242 February 16, 1958 17 Ohio State University
25 David Wingate SG 6-5 185 December 15, 1963 12 Georgetown University


5 players on that roster who at one time were all stars, and I think Dennis Scott had the 3 point record in the NBA for a while, no reason for lack of championships.

I dont remember vlade shooting 3's tho, so thats where the dirk comparison comes in

vlade was more an american style center anyway

You Realize Thats The Season They Went To The NBA Finals And Ewing Couldn't Play In The Finals Cuz Of His Injury

Ewings Teams Went To The NBA Finals Twice

Before Duncan Robinson Never Seen An NBA Finals

Please Dont Sit Here And Make It Out To Be Any Different Than What It Is

 

[Swagnificent]

all i remember was him getting slapped with a towel by sheed

 

[feelosofer]

Sabonis would have been a Marc Gasol level player, imo.

Even though he was old he was still a very good center even in his later years.

Maybe top 50 most underrated players of all time.

 

[Reggie]

If Sabonis would have came over in his younger days he would have challenged Moses as the 6th best center ever and Shaq would have had his one true rival to overcome if Sabonis didn't have the knee injuries. Look at his numbers in his first year in the NBA per 36 minutes and that's an idea of what he would have done in his prime. I don't think 25 and 15 would have been too much to expect if he played 35-40 minutes a night in his prime. He was a beast and it's a shame that we couldn't see him play in the NBA before the injuries.

He was just as good, if not better than Gasol, even at status

 

[cimalee]

If only he would have played with us in his prime

who u telling man
