If we had him instead of Duckworth we’d have one more ring

Think Jokic but better and bigger. Too bad he was a player during the awful end of the Cold War and was huge when centers routinely were broken into bits by the time they reached 30.

My friend got married the weekend we signed him, after years of the media speculating “will this be the season Sabonis *finally* comes to Portland”. At that time the Oregonian and all the local TV news were going nuts on coverage of Sabonis being in town and finally signing. The wedding rehearsal dinner was at Jake’s. Back then, Jake’s was kind of *THE* “big event”, “see-and-be-seen”, restaurant in Portland – *exactly* the kind of place a big corporation (or sports franchise) would bring a new client or top employee in order to impress them.
We all got there on time but our table wasn’t ready so some people went down to the bar to wait, while others of us went outside to smoke – myself and the bridegroom were with the latter group. After about 5 minutes of smoking and chatting on the sidewalk, a huge limo pulls up, the door opens, and a pretty petite blond lady in a fancy dress emerges. Followed right after by a big white guy with a mullet who was wearing an expensive suit. He is/was the tallest man I’ve ever seen in my life.
I immediately start elbowing the groom in the ribs, while whispering excitedly “It’s Sabonis!! It’s Sabonis!! It’s Sabonis!!!”
To which the groom replied “Nah… it’s some other guy.”

And to think, that guy in front of him has to be at least 6′-1″!
