Sabonis was like 34- 35 that year, and almost every part of his body had been operated on, because Russia ran that dude in the ground. Do you realize how great Sabonis was? You see all these bigs dribbling, shooting threes , getting assists and moving like PGs . He was the first to do all that back in the 80s! He is the reason why the damn dream team was put together because Russia was killing cats because of him.

Sabonis was originally drafted by the Atlanta hawks in the 80s, but the draft was voided due to him not being age eligible at 21. Rules were different back then. He finally came into the nba later on, but he was already physically broken by then...but he still came
Over here and murked nba players while hobbled and limping

With a pre injury, pre 34 year old Sabonis, blazers would have mopped the league. No Fucking doubt about it.

Hell had the hawks been allowed to draft him, with Wilkins , doc rivers, tree Rollins , etc, Fucking lakers and Celtics might not have had dynasties.

We don’t know what Jordan would have done , because he didn’t do it. Pippen and Phil did. That’s the point.

Pippen ate up every single player in the draft camp with his two way ability. He was Krause’s greatest secret. Jordan had nothing to do with making pippen great. Shit was inevitable first time he hit the court.
