I watched Sabonis Senior play his best years in the Euroleague. By the time he got to the NBA he was already broken down, but was still able to dominate through skill (maybe best passing Center ever) and size. If you ask people who saw him at his prime, they would say he was one of the top 5 centers of alltime. (Along with Russel, Wilt, Malone and Hakeem in my book).
It is unfair to ask his son to live up to such a level. He seems like a good player, still growing into his game.
not sure about top 5 centres of all time. Also I noticed u didnt put kareem and shaq in your top 5. judging by the way he played i would have said definitely in the top 10 of centres
Sabonis in his prime would have dominated the NBA and it is unfortunate that he only came here when he was already passed his prime and had suffered injuries.
Sabonis in his prime with that portland team of drexler, porter, williams and robinson would have won at least a couple of championships I believe.
He passed, shot the 3, and had a very good post game
