In this section of the YouTube video titled "Sheed and Bonzi Say Arvydas Sabonis was a MONSTER!", the speakers reminisce about playing with the basketball legend Sabonis during his late career with the Portland Trailblazers. They describe him as an exceptional passer, sharing stories of his unconventional passes and creative ball handling. Sabonis is praised for his ability to make difficult passes look effortless, even between the legs of defenders. Despite being at the end of his career and having played in the Euro league before joining the NBA, Sabonis is considered by the speakers to be one of the best passing big men they have ever seen. They compare him to modern players like Jokic, but emphasize that Sabonis was a true monster in terms of his passing skills. Sabonis was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 1985 but did not come to the NBA until 1996, when he was 31 years old. Despite his size and age, he was a formidable presence on the court, with broad shoulders, big hands, and a heavy build. The speakers express their admiration for Sabonis, describing him as a gentle giant and a good dude.
The article states that Sabonis was originally drafted by Atlanta in 1985 which is true but that pick was voided because he wasn't yet 21 years old and so the Blazers drafted him in 1986 but wasn't able to join the NBA until 1996.

I doubt it.I hope Sabas remembers them as fondly...
