We just never got to see him because Communist Russia Hid him behind the iron curtain, then forced him to play injured which led to him having little athletic skills left by the time of his NBA arrival. When he came here, he was the only guy to push back at shaq. He and the jailblazers nearly beat the lake show. It wasn't because he was soft, I can tell you that.

Sabonis is there because by the time he got here his knees were so shot that he couldn't bang that much at all. He may have tried to bang with Shaq at times but for the most part he physically couldn't play that way all the time.
