I remember when Sabonis couldn't walk after operation of Achill tendon, and journalists came to his teams workout, they found him siting on the ground and making 3 point shots. Showed about 5-6 shots, all where accurate. I saw it on tv. Even without legs he couldn't live without basketball. So this video is nothing:)
sabonis was so talented to bad he didint stay in the league that long sigh if he was with the blazers longer before the series in 2000 they would have won
@WaTTzas if sabonis would have had shaq as a mentor maybe his achilles and knees wouldn't have been shot 6 years into his pro career. shaq was at the top of his game for nearly 15 years.
@174HB thats true, american players with that height work more on their post game then their jumper. coaches out here (in the U.S,) work on one trait with those players nd thats to utilize their height
A healthy Sabas would be a much better pick than Shaq. What 7'3" guys have that kinda touch? And yeah he did play a young healthy Shaq quite well, and 10 good minutes of help from another big center and Shaq would have folded. Sabas was too worn down to wrestle a 350lb shaq. Too bad they never got to play basketball against eachother.
Sabonis began his career in his 16th and started as pg. Now he's center, so thats why he can play all around. Good passes, well seeing arena-pg skills. His skills.
shaq carrer stats and so on cause of his body, he is very tall , very big weight and so on,all he does on the court its just cause he got power and body like that,Sabonis played like he did cause he was hard working and skilled center.
Look at the karma Shaq faces today. Sabonis with busted knees and no mobility still played a prime Shaquille Oneal better than any other center. Now look at Shaq, he sucks, Sabonis was better with more injuries at this stage in his career. Sabonis was actually a talented player unlike Shaq who couldn't make a free throw and camped in the key for 10 seconds every play.
there wont be better centre in Lithuania or europe or even world he is the legend. Have a look when he used to play for CCCP lol when he was about 23 i swear to god it is most increadible player ever
Dude you are so wrong. Majority of the fans in the NBA don't even remember who this clown was. Shaquille O'Neal just pounded him inside all day long, and he was helpless. He is definitely not one of the greatest centers ever. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Most fans in the nba dont remember him, thats true, but the players sure do. Anyone who played against sabas knows what this "clown" brought. Steve Nash, Scottie Pippen, Bill Walton, the admiral & even your boy SHAQ have all said he's the best passing center.
your freakin O'neal cant even shoot free throws so be quite and btw if u put sabonis in age 23 and shaq in 23 i bet u everything i got sabonis would have him with his left hand...
Now imagine the Blazers Sabonis with great athletism and you get the pre-injury Real Madrid Sabonis. Kareem, Chamberlain, the Dream and Russell are the only centers worth being mentioned in the same sentence as Arvydas (Maybe Shaq in terms of dominance, but no way considering skills).
When he was teen, he playded in PG position. Then he learned shoot 3pts, dish beauty assists, handle the ball. When he was growing up, he grew very fast to 2m.20cm, but he didn't forget PG skills. He was universal player
Sabonis was awesome, sexiest fuckin passing center in NBA HISTORY, thats right folks, this guy was legit. Too bad we didnt get him in the league till he was +30yrs/old. He had the green light on 3's, I remember him bangin'em out like it wasn't shit.
He's not MYvydas, he's not YOURvydas, he's ARVYDAS!!! -Stuart Scott.
