Oberto=Sabonis?

[Extra Stout]

In addition to helping the Spurs on the court, having Ginobili, Oberto and Scola on the team would make a lot of sense marketing wise.

Why, so they can exploit the high disposable income in that bustling Argentine economy?

I remember the days when the only option for player of the game for the Spanish radio was Carl Herrera.

who said sabonis of the nBA? he did play before getting to NBA, in fact he is retired now

I meant sabonis of the NBA, should have been more clear.

Nazr vs Oberto - Which one has better hands?

My mailbox has better hands than Nazr.

[WalterBenitez]

My mailbox has better hands than Nazr.

... poor Nazr ... you should consider his nerves (or fear)

[Trainwreck2100]

That's impossible, Sabonis could hit three's.

[FoxMulder]

By the time he arrived in the NBA, Sabonis's knees were shot. He was a shadow of his former self.

In his prime, Sabonis was one of the best big men in the world. He may have been better than Patrick Ewing was.

He was Better than any big men... a real All around player

Oberto is good, but forget about it Sabonis was better.. and taller...

Oberto is good and has a lot of defensive skills and good feet movements. Also a terrible FT shooter. Is a little undersized, but it will be nice to see how he makes against Amare...
also he´s got better hands than Nazr and Scola...

Scola=Offense
Oberto=Defense

you're being sarcastic? Sabonis shot from three better than Tony Parker.

Exactly, how can this guy =sabonis with no three pointer.

[tlongII]

Sabonis is 7'3" and over 300 lbs. That alone makes him considerably different than this guy.

Exactly, how can this guy =sabonis with no three pointer.

I did say sabonis w/o the 3, but I meant the old sabonis that played in portland not the all world player in russia.

But their games sound very similar. Big, aggressive, knows how to get good position, great passer, high BB IQ. Plus, they play the same position center.

I mainly asked the question to get some feedback on the guy.
