For as famous and popular as ex-Portland Trail Blazers big Arvydas Sabonis was during his seven seasons in the Rose City, the family name never donned the back of an NBA All-Star jersey. That is until last night when his son, Domantas Sabonis, suited up for team LeBron in the 2020 All-Star game.
Sabonis became just the second Lithuanian to take part in the weekend’s marquee event joining Zydrunas Ilgauskas who was an All-Star in both 2003 and 2005. Recently NBA.com’s Steve Aschburner talked with the younger Sabonis about his All-Star nod, playing style, and growing up in Portland.
