How Sabonis spaces the floor without shooting threes

Domantas Sabonis wasn't selected as an NBA All-Star this year despite helping the Sacramento Kings compete in a hotly contested Western Conference. The tandem of De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis is one of the deadliest two-man combinations in the NBA, and the Sacramento Kings offense is consistently one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. So why does Sabonis not seem to get the respect that he deserves?

    Domantas Sabonis is a top __ center in the NBA? πŸ‘‡
  • @Preddybenn
    sabonis not voted into the all star game is criminal
  • @behindthearcyt
    Still can’t believe neither him or fox didn’t made the all star game this year. Sabonis definitely has his limitations but some of the disrespect about his game has gone way too far. He’s one of the best offensive hub bigs in the league right now
  • @LivinProoof
    In my opinion Sabonis is a top 3 center in this league behind Jokic and Embiid. I have him over AD because he has the heart and hustle on EVERY single possession 82 games a year. He's durable as hell. Rarely gets injured. Dudes a warrior. Played half of the year with broken finger last season to help the kings finally reach the playoffs. He is the type of player you want on your franchise. Cares about the team and winning more than anything else.
  • @blablablaa14
    My greatest compliment to Sabonis, is that I am a Spurs fan, and I was excited to see him school Wemby when they matched up, because learning how to beat Sabonis would help you beat anyone
  • As a Pacers fan, I still love Sabonis and his game. I love what the Kings are doing. They are my western Pacers. Crazy that Bill Simmons just had him in his worst contracts draft 🀦
  • @Weather_Nerd
    Absolutely love watching Domas play, I am a Kings fan but I watched him a lot in Indy too and always wanted to have him paired with Fox. Idk if I can think of one current player who gives the EFFORT he does, 100% of the time. And thing is, he does the little things that don’t show up on stats and how many stars can say the same? Some, sure. But usually it’s role players doing that stuff
  • @leeswift7883
    If Domantas plays several more years at this level could there be a case that the Sabonises would be the best father/son duo in professional basketball history?
  • @blablablaa14
    Its insane how he went from 7th in MVP voting last year, to playing better this year but not even being an All Star. International players are so disrespected in the NBA
  • @hezcobar
    Considering that Coach Mike Brown came from GSW, I think it's almost justifiable to say Sabonis isn't a Jokic Lite but almost a Draymond maxed out. The sagging off at the 3pt line reminded me a lot of him. Mike Brown using the system but tweaking it for his team is a really cool touch. Thanks for the breakdown
  • @toddpacker1015
    Domas has carried this team the entire year he’s an absolute menace
  • @22cjmd
    Really like this guy, the way he play the game... He might be one of the players who have a very high basketball IQ.
  • @nikolayjerev9285
    He lead the NBA in total rebounds, assists and triple doubles.
  • @JuanDinner
    Sabonis does a lot to help his team be better, not only on the court, but off the court as well. When the Kings were extending him last summer, I remember him taking less than the max he was qualified for to leave space for the Kings to have more financial flexibility.
  • @NOcanDoification
    He can hit that 3. As per his okc days when they made him a stretch big.
  • @edbrewington3
    Domantas is an All-Star and I don't care what casuals say because they don't know basketball. The guy is so efficient and makes the game look easy and that is why most do not give him credit. He's having a better year than Jokic in many ways too. Just criminal that he doesn't get the respect from the league and media....it makes you wonder, do they even watch basketball?
  • @rnuke_rocket
    Always love watching Sabonis' playmaking and post up moves πŸ’―
