Sabonis > all other centers of his time.

true story.

[FATWONTON]

Not only was he the best passing big men ever, he was one of the best passers ever

[willielaserbeamen]

@MrTruSchool The Roy era? I don't think two seasons counts as an era, bub

[FATWONTON]

@ry3304 Don't forget Pistol Pete Maravich...Penny and Webber? Seriously?

[ry3304]

The guy was basically a fuckin 7-4 Larry Bird man.

There are only like maybe 3 guys in nba history who could make passes like that -

Bird Magic and Sabat. Maybe Chris Webber and Walton too. Possibly Nash, and Penny was pretty sick with it too lols, but that's like about it man.

Oh and Cousy.

Honestly maybe only like 5 or so guys in history could do that in games.

He was THAT good, and honestly was WAYYYYY smarter than like 99.5% of the shitty NBA'ers even at that point...

@hophalf Not shaq, but Ewing, maybe Robinson, Malone and Mikan. Not quite up there with O'Neal, The Dream Shake and Russel/Wilt

[cbarner11]

@hophalf you joking right

[agiannastasio]

Steve Nash is an awful defender (and obviously, Sabonis is a great passer)

[Dramzul]

@Jesusismothra cool story, bro. seriously

[MrTruSchool]

He never got the respect he deserved, especially playing with this group of idiots. Only if he played with the Clyde or Roy era...

[Trinidadian125]

I think Sabonis could probably come back RIGHT NOW and still would be a better passer than 90% of the centers in the game today.

[hurtslave]

He wasn't better than O'Neal/Robinson while he was in the NBA (with his knees gone) but he was smarter and DEFINATELY more entertaining. If he would have gone to NBA in his prime, for sure he woulda been one of the best to ever play there.
