Beating your father in basketball is a special moment for any player but for Indiana Pacers center Domantas Sabonis, he never got the chance to take on his dad, Arvydas Sabonis, in a meaningful one-on-one game.
“By the time I was old enough to face him, he was too old and could barely move, so we never really could compare,” Sabonis said in an interview after practice earlier this month. “I was about 5’6 when he was playing.”
So unless you have a time machine, getting anything close to a fair matchup between Arvydas and Domas was impossible.
