Imagine Jordan's bulls playing Portland with Clyde, Jerome, Porter and Sabonis. That would have been epic. And We would have taken a few from Jordan. Sabonis later said he was intimidated to play in the NBA, and that is why he didn't come over sooner. Imagine that. Coulda, Woulda Shoulda. He was a magician.
I would pay money to watch a young Wilt vs young Sabonis, Sabonis even in his old age with injuries is easy to play with, if he was in Utah with Jerry Sloan, Stockton and Malone definitely could've won a ring. Sabonis, Wilt, Dream, Joker and Walton probably best skill sets from the pivot. Sabonis is definitely Larry Bird player at the 5, capable of beating you with his mind,big and strong with great shot, definitely can score deep in the paint and murder you in the high post in triangle, motion or basic pick and roll.
I'm a lifelong Blazers fan. Walton was great, but Sabonis was unreal. That being said, Gotta go with the man that had ELEVEN Rings. Bill Russel. Have a great Day!
BTW, Perdue was listed at 7'0", but looked 6'8" or so next to Sabonis. It's not just that the guy stood 7'3", his massive build made him look like 7'5"ish.
Thank you He was happy playin European ball. Its worth a look. He was enjoyin the life over there. Can you blame him? Which culture is better depends... He had like a wine cellar or similar... It gave me pause. I thought about it. He wanted the good life Over There. A weekend on the French Riviera, perhaps cross the English Channel, south through the Pyrenees, a drive through the Parisian countryside-or an afternoon on the Autobahn-with a few Exotic Vehicles to try out...and constant companionship from eligible Bachelorettes, so as not to have too much solitary delight...not dumb was he?
In an edited youtube video alone, Arbydas Sabonis is better than Duncan and Robinson. NBA Stats Arvydas Sabonis: 12 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists per game. David Robinson: 21 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists. Oh, and if Sabonis had injured knees it was his fault, for being fat and neglecting his physique. Sabonis is smoke
> Oh, and if Sabonis had injured knees it was his fault, for being fat and neglecting his physique. So, according to your "logic" Kevin Durant that had a torn achilles was somehow fat too and neglected his physique? Why don't you just say that you have no idea what happened or how? :)
@@ΤάσοςΚαυσοκαλυβίτης Kevin Durant, the example you point out, human chicken, has no legs, he only has two matchsticks. In the NBA selection tests, his poor physical performance was already noted, being very far from the sporting elite. He made up for those shortcomings with an exceptional game, but in the end the omen came true: he did not have an athletic body. You can be either very weak or very out of shape like Sabonis or a 2.16 athlete, like David Robinson who always took care of himself. Whenever people talk about Sabonis, they talk about what could have been if he wasn't injured. Sports science fiction. Did you understand human chicken?
@@macarenaperez3088 > human chicken Exactly. Which should alert you to the possibility that you have no idea how those injuries work, at ALL ;) > he did not have an athletic body Oh, any people with athletic bodies do not suffer such injuries? What about Derrick Rose then? DeMarcus Cousins? Kobe? Klay Thompson? John Wall? Dominique Wilkins? Blake Griffin? Jabari Parker? Those where "unathletic"? Just admit that you have no clue and you are just a hater :)
Only stupid person can talk like That of the great European player ever, far better than the Jokic and Doncic of the modern NBA. The admiral, who i respect a lot as a player and as a human being, played 2 times with team USA against Sabonis, 2 times destroyed, lost the game and the gold medal. Adios
Too bad Sabonis didn't come to NBA in his prime, when he was probably better than Hakeem Olajuwon... he already started to have knee problems when he came to NBA and still was great...
Sabonis teaches Robinson again. And again. Forever.
Like a nightmare 😂
David : "Ok , he cannot be the same of 1986 .... WTFK is even worst for me ! "
@@marcolucchetti9101No one, no center in the galaxy would be better than Arvydas Sabonis, if he didn't have so many injuries.
@@luzaozanetti8874 I know 😉
How many championships did the win ?
Lol he isn't that good. He was roided up by the Russians in his prime
Admiral is a big guy but damn! Arvydas is *BIG*
Imagine a healthy/younger Sabonis in the NBA? Would be unfair.
Imagine Jordan's bulls playing Portland with Clyde, Jerome, Porter and Sabonis. That would have been epic. And We would have taken a few from Jordan. Sabonis later said he was intimidated to play in the NBA, and that is why he didn't come over sooner. Imagine that. Coulda, Woulda Shoulda. He was a magician.
The nba would’ve had a new triple doubles leader 🫣
He would have been like Jokic
Jordan wouldnt have so many rings bet my life on it
Sabonis is a Master supreme, Awesome!

Joker is not comparable to those others without the refs. The others did everything with two fewer steps and not initiating contact.
Man, when he was drafted he had a chance to play with Drexler, goosebumps appear thinking about what 1986 blazers could've been
The best center

I Agree!
So do i
No

Domantas sabonis and jalen Brunson dad played together 😮
Prime Sabonis would have given Tim and David 30 and 15 but unfortunately still would have lost a series
How come Will Perdue started at C? Robinson was a PF and Duncan, a 7'0" SF?
BTW, Perdue was listed at 7'0", but looked 6'8" or so next to Sabonis. It's not just that the guy stood 7'3", his massive build made him look like 7'5"ish.
How come they're not showing Robinson and Duncan's makes? Who actually won the game after all?
Because that doesn't fit their narrative.
In fact. The spurs won this.
Thank you
He was happy playin European ball.
Its worth a look. He was enjoyin the
life over there. Can you blame him?

Не лучший день для Адмирала
Sabonis did his part, took the L
Back when Centers were men
Sabonis was Joker before Joker
Wish he would have been on the Bulls instead of Longly
Even in a wheelchair Sabonis is better
Lol Jokic
I saw Shaq destroy him badly
He was old and after achiles, knees...
And without his Russian steroids
