I also loved Sabonis but was always bummed that we never got to see him in the NBA earlier in his career. The guy we saw in the NBA was a broken down player, and he still balled. Him in his prime wouldve been HOF worthy.
I love Ant’s entire demeanor/ character. He’s confident but not cocky. He’s a shooter mentality. Yet he’s learning to penetrate and he’s getting good at finishing. He keeps his head up and eyes open. He could play either guard position and I think he pairs well with Dame.
My wife and I were living in Lake Oswego in the late 70s when we were on a grocery shopping trip to Safeway on 'A' avenue. My wife gets in a checkout line when she notices a huge man in front of her little 5' 1" 110 lb. frame. It turned out to be Dale Schlueter. Now she's ballooned up to 5' 1" 120 lbs.
