Domantas Sabonis’s father, Arvydas, is a Lithuanian legend—one of Europe’s most creative bigs.

He dominated Europe with visionary passing, touch, and high-post orchestration that redefined the center position.

Joining Portland in 1995 after injuries, he still impacted winning with screens, elbow playmaking, and shooting.

In today’s spaced game, his short-roll passing and stretch value might soar further.

Father and son trace the NBA’s globalization: Arvydas proved the craft and value of European centers; Domantas carries it on with rebounding, short-roll finishing, and dribble handoffs—an All-Star hub.

Their shared skill and vision make “Sabonis” a cross-era basketball symbol.
