The Sabonis Thread

[sono]

He's the only one on the roster who gives 110% every night no matter what.

So much to unpack in the photo but the 2 Lakers fans losing their minds is the best

I wonder if Domas turned around in he looked into their eyes. 911 would be on the way immediatelly

Sabonis is one of THE TOUGHEST SOB's in the league. I really just love that guy. He puts the IRON in IRON MAN.

Fun Domas vid.

@sactowndog Check it out, curious your thoughts since you're very insistent he needs to pump 5-6 3's a game

 

[ppine]

We all know he is an All-Star.
Great mental toughness. Great leader. Quiet and competent. A great team mate. I love this guy.

That 6'8" dude with T-Rex arms outrebounds anyone in the entire league by a good margin. Maybe the NBA talent isn't as great as it seems?

In a league filled with passing savants, he is right there near the top at #5 in assists. If someone is top 5 in two major categories, maybe they're good or maybe the competition is not good enough, right?

Clown takes by those 2 guys.

It's not the size of the center, it's the motion of the Sabocean

 

[HndsmCelt]

I keep seeing and hearing folks calling Sabonis an undersized center. I prefer to think of it as pound for pound the best center in the game.

I forgot the guys name on Simmons podcast but he gives just the dumbest takes over and over again, not just on Sabonis. Simmons has crap takes too but he is at least entertaining

 

[hrdboild]

I can't wait for all the articles to come out defending multiple All-NBA selections for the Suns and Lakers and none for the Kings who trounced them both all year. Also Victor Wembanyama getting All-NBA votes despite playing on a last place team and all sorts of other excuses not to recognze either Fox or Sabonis among the best players in the league.

Big Wos - Wasny Lambre

He’s an idiot.

I'm told screen assists are bad and not real assists, so if I read this right we should take about 7 assists off Sabonis's totals as proof that he is a net-negative player? Probably subtract 4-5 rebounds per game just because he has floppy hair. Very mediocre, non-All-Star talent once you make these adjustments, wouldn't you agree? Thankfully Bill Simmons can vote for 10 guards on his all NBA team since AD and Joker are the only good centers in the league.

How about PPG generated by using the ball as a weapon?

Sabonis is now tied with Kevin Love for the most consecutive double-doubles in a single season, with 53. Remarkable. He has had a double-double in 66 of 70 games thus far. Love won an NBA championship in 2016. I want the same for Sabonis, and in the meantime, another All-NBA selection.

 

[bball_nomad]

Nice collection of Domas plays.
I like how he gets the ball in paint or gets an offensive rebound and scores against 2-4 guys around him.
Sure, Domas dunked on everybody in the league, though still, for a fan, it brings excitement no matter how many times we watched it

well what do you know, is he taking the Jokic approach towards social media?

Giannis does that too, but only when it's close to postseason, not from the start of regular season like Domas did (for the first time) this year.

so I suppose it's a Euro approach, different mentality and all

 

[coolhandluke]

Sabonis probably misses Monk more than anyone. No one sets him up that beautifully on offense.
