Sabonis looked unreal in the '88 Olympics. That was the only time I ever saw him live in his prime, but seeing the atleticism he had then combined with the passing, shooting range, and basketball IQ you would see out of him every night in Portland makes one have to believe he'd have a career on par with Shaq's or Hakeem's had he played his entire career here. Sabonis-Marciulionis was a sick 1-2 punch for that Soviet team.

I had always heard the legend of Sobonis, but never looked into it.
