he is the best player on this planet,he is tall,strong,tough and skilled,what's more,he conld everything that what a player can do on the floor,including pass like a point guard and made the three like “Octupus Man”Diamantidis, although he is injuried,he is still the best big man in the world ,i meant the best,just this single one.better than shaq,ewing,dino radja or somebody else.
Los mejores centros de basketball de la historia no son americanos, Olajuwon Nigeriano y Sabonis Lituano incluyendo toda su carrera antes de NBA y con todo y sus lesiones. Centros americanos hay muchos y buenisismos pero no como estos dos...
I miss players like Sabonis these days in basketball. The way he passed the ball, the way he shot the hooks, the way he played was something special. I hope there will be more players of his type :) Loved to watch him before! LEGEND FOR ME!
he would've been the ultimate pick and roll weapon when he was younger. Tall, athletic, great passer, great shooter, strong, great finisher, great decision maker. What a weapon on the floor!!
he would own shaq and all the centers if he had no injurys... just look what he did to david robinson... maybe hakeem could go toe to toe with him but no one else!!!!!!!!!!!
very unlucky basketball player, too many injuries. If he was younger and in good health, he would easily become the best. nobody would talk about Shaq or Robinson
@jmixplizik wtf are you talking? :D he was best in europe for almost decade, everyone knows about him. Injuries is price for his height. He won gold in olympics and helped lithuania to win bronze, named Fiba hall of famer and at august NBA hall of famer and you saying he is unlucky???
@pasokim I dont dissagree with u. My point is that if he hadnt had the injuries he would have dominated the nba as easily as he did in europe. He would have been the FIRST name that comes in mind when u talk about centers.
i loved sabonis as part of the blazers..everyone kept saying if sabonis only came in the nba when he was younger...i assumed he was real good when he was younger but i had no idea how powerful and fast he used to be... such a shame he didn't go to the nba when he was younger.. still even on the blazers.. wonderful three ball shooter and incredible passer
I wish this guy still played. He is an inspiration to any basketball player. I miss him playing the game. Proud to be Lithuanian and a fan because of Arvydas Sabonis.
Seriously get your facts straight. If Sabonis went to the NBA while he was young, or not even young, atleat when he was 30 he would have guaranteed the Hall of Fame for himself no problem. Dirk can't play defense to save his life and he is insanelly weak arround the basket. Pau gets lucky and has a few lucky high scoring games in the season, and he is really weak as well. Sabonis is the real deal. He could play the post like an animal, shoot light's out and he was the best passing center ever.#1
shaq3445 ciulpk bybi gaydi. Sabas geriausias centras ir dar tuopaciu baltas. shaq3445 suck a dick faggot. Sabonis is the best center, and he's white. He's not some oversized 360 pound gorilla. Go eat some shit.
Naw, I think you gotta call him the best. It's just what he is!
Could Drazen rebound, block shots, and even dish like Sabas? Does Dirk set up his teammates and protect the hole as good as Sabonis in his prime? Could Toni Kukoc play good man D? Could any of them have frustrated Shaq like Arvydas did? Does Gasol really worry anyone in the paint? Not like #11. The man is a stallion, one of the best ever, near Kareem's statue in offensive giftedness. And he's just incredible in person. Go Blazers.
Do you know what your talking about?? Watch Game 7 of the Portland/Dallas series in 2003. The 38 year old Sabonis was the only reason they were in the game. Dirk couldn't stop him.
Pau is no Arvydas either.
If only he could have played in the states during his prime. What a special talent. Best European ever and one of the best players ever.
BEST CENTER EVER!!!!!! HIS perfomance is fenomenal,who's beter??? Shaq?,no,just stupid big guy,who is very good near the bassket,but never shoot 3 poins,and so on,Sabas # 1 allmost in everysing for the big guy like he is,he is like 2.20 playmaker:)))
man lithuania i basketball country , i lought to death when my dad telld me this : sabonis , krapikas , sireika and many more playd for CCCP olimpics and in the best of the teams , and then there was a discution what is better lithuania or CCCP (lithuania only 3 milion people) so there the people said that there is no chance to lithuania and know what then happend ? lithuania winned against CCCP 2 times from 2 ;D lol i lought to death ...
he hasn;t never played in russia. he used to play for ussr national team but his only club in Europe apart from few years in Real Madrid was Zalgiris.
That might be the funniest nba video you could ever watch. In the army now is amazing and they actually put Bon Jovi's- Always as a tribute to Arvydas Sabonis. He is the Best.
the greatest international center ever to play the game! I got to pleasure serve him sushi when he was still playing in Portland years ago. Very polite man and a beautiful wife.
