Wow what a surprise comeback by Sabonis... And they really need a talent like him to qualify to the Olympics.

Maybe I am reading this wrong but are you saying that Sabonis is playing with the team? I am pretty sure he is not.

No, Sabas isn't playing. He's just sticking with a team, helping out in some drills. Probably teaching Jonas a thing or two.

But if he did play, I bet he would still dominate this competition

Yeah.. On the other hand he could not run in NBA to due to busted knees and he still pulled up a respectable numbers.

His hands though look softer than any of Lithuanian big players and are quicker as well.

cannot believe noone posted this crappy video. I guess, the preparation for the draft is over, and Raptors people don't look too happy... Raptors decided to see the LT national team in practice as well and bring Kleiza his accessibility gear...
