Two days ago Arvadis Sabonis announced he will be leaving the Blazers and going back to Lithuania.

A huge loss not just for Portland but for the entire NBA for it has lost the most talented NBA center of this era to retirement.

We here at GFY say thank you.

Thank you Sabonis.

sextoyking · 05-31-2003, 12:08 PM

You said it Bone.

He was tough player on the court, great center, and a good professional.

sextoyking · 05-31-2003, 12:08 PM

Oh Loverboy,

you probably don't even know who he is.

Bye, Bye, please go spam somewhere else...

Sucks I wish he would have played in the NBA during his prime, would have loved to see him control the paint.

I live in Portland, but grew up in Seattle. Have been a sonics fan all my life.

I miss Payton, but I think Allen will do great!!! Watch out for the sonics !!!!

Arvydas Sabonis: " ...enough of Americas for me, it's time to help "Zalgiris" next season... "

Preliminary reports from overseas say that Aryvdas Sabonis was in Kaunas, Lithuania Tuesday morning and held a news conference at 11am Lithuania time. At this meeting with the Kaunas City Council, Sabas reportedly promised Zalgiris (the team in which he is part owner) that he will join them for this coming season.

As more news and condolences pours in from Lithuanians, Italians, and other Sabonis fans around the world, it looks as if Arvydas Sabonis, in all probablility, is done with his NBA career. I say this because he has a long-standing promise to his countrymen that he will suit up one last time for Zalgiris before retiring.

And Sabas is, if nothing else, a man of his word

With that, this isn't looking good for American fans of Arvydas Sabonis.

anybody see film of him in his prime? Besides Wilt,he's the best big man to ever touch a basketball..and thats a close call in itself.
Like the way he played,definte loss for the NBA fans

e-god · 05-31-2003, 12:54 PM

I saw the film and i saw him live in his prime. I agree with nocostporn. Sabas is the best center and player in Europe.

I live in Lithuania.

I think he's one of the best ever to step onto a NBA court as well.

Even at his older age he was still one of the best.

One of the few good guys on the Trailblazers. It took a pathetic gang of criminals to send him fleeing from America.
