Arvydas Sabonis has Heart Attack, can't drink or smoke, but can fuck

Breitbart – Lithuanian basketball legend Arvydas Sabonis said Tuesday he would have to limit his pleasures after suffering a heart attack a week ago, as doctors decided to release him from hospital. “The doctors told me, ‘You can’t smoke, you can’t drink, you can’t play basketball.’ So of the things I like, only sex is left,” Sabonis told Lithuanian media at the clinic in his hometown, the central city of Kaunas. “The doctors decided this. I’m a newcomer here so I do what I’m told,” he was quoted as saying by the news website lrytas.lt. Clinic spokeswoman Egle Zemaitiene told AFP that Sabonis was to be released later Tuesday, a week after his heart attack during a training game in Kaunas. He is to convalesce at home, with his condition set to be monitored for at least six months.


For those of you that know me, know Arvydas Sabonis is my second favorite basketball player of all time. The first is obviously the Big Smooth, Sam Perkins.  Although he was past his prime as he came to the NBA (Sabonis was the man in his prime in Russia), he is probably definitely one of the top 5 most influential players to ever play the game. His outside shooting was unprecedented for a 7 footer. His passing would have made Pistol Pete blush. His entire inside-outside game was unmatched at the center position.

Also, little known fact: HE IS THE SOLE REASON THE USA CAME UP WITH A DREAM TEAM IN 1992. That's legit too, he dominated the Olympics in 1988, and forced us to stop playing college players.


And now we find out all he does is drink, smoke, hoop and fuck? Does this surprise anyone? Not me, Sabonis has been doing it his way for decades, and unlike some athletes after retirement, Sabonis knows exactly how to keep it that way.
