The NBA stage is the dream of many basketball people.
On that stage, there are a lot of talented players.
There are accurate shots, cute God Curry, Gentleman's Sword Ray Allen, Klay Thompson, Korver; there are passing magic, can control the whole field, Paul, Magician Johnson, Rondo; there are flying good dunks, James, Zion, O'Neal...
It's not an easy thing to go there and play.
Every year, many celestial beings pour into this stage, but there are very few people who can make a name for themselves there.
Today, introduce a player to the brothers.
He didn't enter the NBA until he was 31.
Moreover, at that time, due to years of unscientific heavy-load training, his body had been completely collapsed, his two Achilles tendons were completely broken, and he almost completely lost the ability to move!
A player who has experienced such a serious injury on his body and is already 31 years old. At this age, there are a lot of players who have retired.
And he still wants to enter the NBA, and he still wants to chase his dreams on that stage, is this kind of thing possible?
Later, he told the world with practical actions that if you can, if you have a dream, you can really do it.
He did it!
He dragged this remnant and stayed in the NBA for 7 years!
Over the years, he has helped teams reach the playoff stage.
And, I've dealt with the ok combination at my peak! The two sides fought until the battle of life and death.
He can resist the shark O'Neal on the defensive end, and the shark meets him and plays very badly!
This person is 2 meters tall and 21 meters tall, and his name is Arvedas Sabonis.
He did a lot of incredible things.
Dunking bad baskets, he's done it too! He also led the team to defeat the invincible American men's basketball team and "forced" the dream team to play.
He also led Lithuania to bronze medals at the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games.
In European basketball, he won a lot of honors, set many records of his own, what most valuable player, what championship... He got it all.
For various reasons, Sabonis did not step onto the NBA stage until the age of 31.
However, with his excellent ball quotient, superb ball skills, and rich experience, he still occupies a place in the NBA.
He scored a total of 5629 points, 3436 rebounds and 964 assists in the NBA!
In 2011, he was successfully inducted into the Hall of Fame!
Today, his son, Domintus Sabonis, has also entered the NBA and has been selected for the All-Star Regular Game this season. What a tiger father without a dog!
NBA star Bill Wharton once said of Sabonis: "He is a combination of Chamberlain, Abbabal and Russell, and he is a 2.21m Bird.
Yao Ming regarded Sabonis as his idol. Dayao once said: There are only two people in the world who can play O'Neill head-on and have the possibility of defeating him at the peak, one is a healthy Sabonis, and the other is Wilt Chamberlain!
Divac also said: "Sabonis is the strongest center, he is more powerful than shark O'Neal and big dream Olajuwon." ”
Brothers, do you think Sabonis is really better than O'Neill and Big Dream?
