    From the waist up Sabas is probably the best player of all time. It's that lower half that keeps him out of all the GOAT conversations.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Sabonis is probably the player who could do the best in the NBA with dad-bod.

    Dare I say it, but if we did, I honestly think we'd get more out of the 52-year old Sabonis than we will the 25-year old Leonard. And that's just sad...

    The funny thing is, I'd be willing to bet that Meyers would have the best chance on the current squad of making that shot:


    Unfortunately, playing HORSE isn't a particularly valuable skill in the NBA.

    I'd take Dame over him any day. With Defense:

    Jumpshot, sure. Half-court hook shot? I'd think that shot would be more in Meyers' wheelhouse, but I wouldn't put money on him over Dame.

    Meyers can't hit a 5 foot hook shot; why would he be better than Dame at half court?

    In a game, true. In the gym without any pressure?
