Vargu ar turesim pirma lietuvy NBA cempiona :(

[footballplaya77]

Kobe Bryant was picked right after we chose Vitaly Potapenko

[MrIamabitch]

It was a great pick he just didint contribute that well expected and vitaly potapenko is a real bust.

[MrIamabitch]

the cavaliers draft:the worst 7'3 player ever.

[MyCockIsNotForYou]

@MrIamabitch Dude this guy a a good player for all of his career

[MrIamabitch]

@MyCockIsNotForYou just kidding.

[thedailyblazer]

this guy isn't a bust. good shooter, good passer. contributes in many ways. he's last a long time in the league too.

[RodmanBLR]

ухахах Волосатый)))

[nestordipascuilan]

[LowRider220]

@nestordipascuilan yep, thats why hes playing on the best team right now.

[punongkahoy312]

he's a fucking 2 time all star. a decent steal for the cavs

[RazorExes]

he looks a little bit like prince william

[egyptking132]

anybody notice kobe getting picked 17

[ignuska]

@egyptking132 He had the 13th pick, not the 17th.

[egyptking132]

@ignuska oh my bad i didnt see it that good

[haj890]

he should be in a freak show

[raider8sox]

Ilgauskas Is A Beast, Hmmmmm, Maybe 2011 is his year?, He Damn Sure Deserves it!

[montenegrin2010]

For a 20th pick, it was quite a career.

[SuperWiseyoung88]

[gedlius]

i sela panasus :D

[ignuska]

@gedlius Rimtai :DD

[eishah92]

oh my God, Z with hair. he's honestly so cute, even though he's twice my age now ha. he's like a gentle giant.

[christian31Eagles]

The noise in this video is so annoying. Am I the only one?

[MicDizzle2]

I hate Grunfield,Ilgauskus better not pull that bullshit where he tries to leave my Wizards,and they better not buy him out.We gave away our foundation Arenas fucked up,we traded Caron,and Jamison.We better keep him or hells gonna break loose.lol just kidding,but we better keep him.

[STQ416]

You're a dumb fuck. "They", reffering to the cavs, cannot buy his contract. Zydrunas has to do that with his own money after 30 days, which he clearly will do. There isn't a chance he will stay with washington. Who would wanna play for a team as shitty as the wizards??

[ss4vegeta92]

cavs should've not traded Z in the 1st place the trade ruined their 13 game win streak and made them lose 3 stright

[MicDizzle2]

I hate Grunfield,Ilgauskus better not pull that bullshit where he tries to leave my Wizards,and they better not buy him out.We gave away our foundation Arenas fucked up,we traded Caron,and Jamison.We better keep him or hells gonna break loose.lol just kidding,but we better keep him.

[ps3gamer2221]

he deserves a ring

[Mantiniho1]

He great player.

[xnappyboyyx]

If it wasn't for all those injuries and maybe even because he was on a small market team Z would be one of the all around best great centers.

[NerdyHippy]

OMG look at how young Z was. And he had hair!! X3

[Gytaz]

"he helped his team win a Lithuanian championship for a third straight season"... Did I miss something? :)

Anyway, Ilgauskas is great, the way he managed to come back after all those injuries is amazing.

[dxseven]

i love Z hes great. nice jumpshot for a big

[yechaniscool]

wow..he has hair

[IOYB]

Hell of a pick. Especially for a number 20.

[DIK101]

common he wasnt as bad as the 11th pick potapinko lol at least at 20 he was doin ok

[TheRatedIX7]

Potapenko was # 12. Todd Fuller was the 11th pick and they both were straight up draft busts. They were picked ahead of 3 future Hall of Famers in Kobe, Nash and Peja.

[JoDaPo1112]

Big Bust? Are you freakin kidding me. He made 2 All Star Games! How is anyone a bust when they do that. Not to mention all his foot problems he has had and he still averages at least 14 points and 8 rebounds a game. He is one of the best draft picks Cleveland ever got. Of Course a young player who can jump out of the sky and has muscles like shaq is going to dominate him just like Dwight Howard dominates every other player he goes up against that doesnt make him a bust. So shut up.

[braemarsucks]

idiot

[brothachris44106]

z is the man! jbpanther is so right. not only has he bounced back from constant foot injuries, but he went on to two all-star selections, he re-signed for less money in 2005, he added a 3-point shot to his arsena, he and lebron run the deadliest pick-and-pop play in the NBA and he is truly loyal to his team and the city of cleveland. God bless you, big Z! we love ya!

[jespacey]

Z's got class and he's my all time favorite cavs player..

[brothachris44106]

exactly. that's why i want him to win a ring with us. he deserves one.

[kingelmo]

he has hair

[orlandoricans]

One of the most underated players in cavs history. This guy is going to bring the ring home to cleveland this year.

[viuzryta]

1996 prasidejo ilgasuko kelias

[suxbee]

acsupreme182 is a gaywad. vitaly potapenko was a far superior nba player. the ukraine train!

[JoDaPo1112]

How many All Star Games did he make? How many did Z make? I think two more cause Vitaly didnt even make one. Z is a way better player than he ever was. Where is he now? Z is still starting

[brothachris44106]

z was in 2 all-star games, the 2nd one he was in was lebron's 1st all-star game in 2004. they both represented the cavs that year

[suxbee]

I know this is a little late, but if you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic. I love Z.

[ACSupreme182]

Z is my favorite player of all time. I love Lebron for seeing what a great teammate/athlete Z is. I have his Fathead! Go CAVS!

[bigboi504bstrap]

I'm much more on Ilgauskas's cock than you, I have his jersey, and bobble head I would have the fat head but it costs too much.

[suxbee]

Yo, big boi is def on Z's cock more than you dude

[dlee7283]

The oldest Cav.Somehow survived 2 major injuries and still the starting center on Lebron's team. Has had his moments of greatness and still a solid center in his twilight.

[Ruebensvideos]

one of the few player who's still on the same team.

[americanaccents]

Well put, well put.

[cdhawk10]

That foot injury messed him up early in his career.

[jbpanther20]

but he's come back strong from those injuries

[eaturpye]

Whoa he had hair!

[Zilvinas24]

gaila kad visas olimpiadas ir paulio bei europos ciampionatus nezaidei.Palaikau tave Z

[americanaccents]

wow, even in 96 his injury was already a problem. just goes to show that 12 years later he's still battling night after night. what a player!

[ixs515]

@americanaccents I respcet guys like Big Z. He has courage and hope he wins a ring.

[americanaccents]

@ixs515

If he does win a ring, it won't be with LeDouche, unfortunately. The talent level on the Heat is so diluted that Z's contributions won't matter nearly as much as they did last year with Cleveland.

[trilogy4545]

go z
