Pops used to always rave about him being the only one that could stop Shaq, aside from Darko of course. Damn shame he came over on the way out.

In his prime = The best center in the league today
Probably average around 24 ppg, 12 rpg, 4 apg, 2 bpg & 1 spg

To be fair, they counted his entire career, including Europe.

Always looked forward to the Shaq vs. Sabonis matchups in the late 90's early 2000's.
That sweeping hook shot and mid ranger jumper were nasty, and he was 7'3". And he was a better passer than the guards on his team.

He looked awesome in that video in the article.
But I'll always remember him for getting a towel thrown in his face by Sheed.

But yeah, every other year people go on and on and on about what could have been, 25 years after the fact.

Can't really claim that man. Who is to say his game would have translated into NBA play? We don't know. But we all know the stories of the work he put in back then. I can't call it. Won't call it.

Him & that Blazer squad
He was a great C though even before he came over... Well deserved to get inducted.
His overall game was
Plus the way he guarded Shaq... One of the few that you could say that about.

if he was a bit younger during our rivalry with the blazers, theres no doubt in my mind they possibly would've beat us in a playoff series.
