hmmm.. would he be going back to the blazers??
does rasheed wallace plan to throw any more towels into arvydas' face?
i'd love to see the big plodder come back... probably the only person who could match up with shaq size-wise..

I doubt he could be much value. IMO the Blazers would be better off without him.

He might be signing for the Lakers as back up for Shaq.

It's a pity he never played in the NBA in his prime.
Anyone remember him toying with Bradtke at the Olympics, unstoppable.

originally drafted in '85... he finally got to play in the nba 10yrs later....
toying with bradtke? why stop there...
take a look at him 'owning' david robinson...
same international game, in the last 5 mins... 2 consecutive thunderous dunks.. all d.rob can do is foul and get posterized..
and just like shaq... he's shattered some boards before:

A real pity we never saw Sabonis in the NBA in his prime.

He was one of the greats in his day
he's baaaack
hmm.. i think its confirmed:
Sabonis rejoins Portland Trail Blazers! - Aug. 24, 2002
Lithuanian basketball star Arvydas Sabonis (222-C-64, agent: Rudoy Herb)confirmed, that he has agreed to sign a one year deal with Portland Trail Blazers. Big Sabas told to the media, that he didn't consider offers from Malaga or Madrid seriously and that he had decided to return to NBA as soon as he got offer from Portland. As the main reasons of his wish to return to NBA Sabonis pointed better contract conditions and the fact, that he is not expected to be leader in Portland. According to Sabonis, he agreed with management of Blazers, that he will play arround 20 minutes per game. Futhermore Sabonis once more promised to finish his career in Kaunas with Zalgiris.

Re: he's baaaack
Hmm...Sabonis really isnt the player he was and its perhaps a step back for Portland. I hope they dont expect him to start. I suppose playing back up centre with maybe 20 mins per game would be alright.

Obviously doesn't match Shaq anymore with athleticism, but would he be the only player in the NBA to match Shaq in size? Not just height.
And does anyone know where a video can be obtained of Sabonis in his prime ie The dunks over Robinson above, I've really only see him post 30.
