At 7'3\" with the passing ability of a point guard, Sabonis was ahead of his time in ways the NBA only fully understood when he finally joined the Portland Trail Blazers in 1995 at the age of 30, after years of injury and Soviet-era restrictions on emigration to professional leagues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soviet Union won gold at Seoul, with Sabonis's combination of size, skill and court vision central to their success. His 1988 season is considered the peak of his powers before Achilles injuries and the weight of years diminished him. Players who faced him in his prime — including Larry Bird, who called him the best centre he ever played against — consistently say the NBA saw only a fraction of what he was. This 1988 Soviet Union #15 jersey is from that peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fan-made retro basketball jersey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arvydas Sabonis #15 — Soviet Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988 Seoul Olympics — gold medal, the greatest European centre ever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Breathable mesh polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stitched name and number, sleeveless cut, reinforced side panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multiple sizes available — select above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDispatch\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order.
