Not really a “what if”. At least not what you’re talking about. There’s 100% a “what if” for if he wasn’t so injured his whole career that while he was playing, doctors didn’t even know how he was walking and he qualified for being handicapped his whole NBA career... What you’re saying is a “what if” is him still being the greatest player to ever pick up a basketball. Just in secrecy. Realistically, he was a modern Wilt with better skills

@peterhandke3936 10 месяцев назад

We were so dominant in the 1980's basketball as Yugoslavia, nobody could come close. But there was this guy, who could make a difference. Sabonis. Competing either against our national team, or against Cibona with Petrovic, we feared him. We were much better as teams, but he was soooooooo big and capable. Luckily for us, he had a bad temper, too. Which did cost Zalgiris titles against Cibona. But they somehow managed to win a lost game against Yugoslavia at the Olympics, when we had 9 points +. with some 50 seconds to go. If he joined NBA in the 80's, he'd be one of the GOATs, if not the one.

I vote for one of Sabonis' top plays, from the 1995-96 season: Sonics at Blazers, triple teamed, Sabonis bounce passed to Buck Williams under the basket, and Buck jammed it. That was the difference in the Blazers winning that game.
