Ещё Тиит Соок. Волков украинец. Тараканов русский. И что? Каждую пятницу в течение 20 лет я играю в преф. За столом Абзалыч - татарин, Артемыч-арменин, Гиви-грузин, Маербек-чечен, я-русский, Абрамыч-еврей.

[@ВладиславДьяконов-з6о]

Русские чемпионы 1988 года. Литовцы любимые наши игроки!

[@Fair-minded.]

Советские чемпионы - большая разница!

[@allengreene9954]

David Robinson is a big man and Sabonis makes him look like a guard because of how big he is😮😮😮😮

[@WiltChamberlainArchive]

@edscottable He had tendon surgery in Portland just days just prior to either the '88 training season or perhaps it was the Olympic games themselves, I don't remember which but either way he had none of the necessary rest or recovery. The USSR team was strict, the decision for him to play was completely against criticisms from the Portland surgical staff who performed the operation. I think he'd have remained a healthy stud athlete into the '90's if he played his entire career in the NBA.

[@hakeem34olajuwon25]

such a small court for all those big guys

[@edscottable]

sabonis isn't the athletic stud in 88 that he was at the worlds in 86. his health declined so rapidly.

[@demetasis]

Sabonis, Marciulionis, Kurtinaitis, Chomicius - they are all Lithuanians, not russians, they were forced to play for the soviets

[@tomotis8085]

your mom was forced by your dad

[@Юлия-д5ь3э]

Просто в Литве была самая лучшая школа баскетбола в СССР. Россия очень много инвестировала в советскую Прибалтику(Латвию, Литву, Эстонию).

[@Юлия-д5ь3э]

И уровень жизни в Прибалтике был выше, чем по СССР.(витрина СССР),

[@985viper]

@@Юлия-д5ь3э там была лучшая школа баскетбола, не потому что туда "инвестировали", а потому что баскетбол - национальный вид спорта в Литве и среди литовцев много высоких.

[@aleksthegreat4130]

Юлия Музыка Одна из лучших,побеждать Советы начали ещё за 40 лет до этого,просто это поколение(восьмидесятые) литовцев было очень сильным,до этого,например на ОИ-72 и ЧМ-82 большинство игроков были россияне.

[@AMaraneli]

I wish Americans had sent a Dream Team four years earlier; that would have been much more interesting

[@thestradiosmiles]

You must be completely not paying attention...

[@CWBush73]

Thanks John Thompson

[@emericlatimier7265]

Tarakanov and Pankrashin were the two only "real" russian players of this team

[@margaridacosta270]

volkov born in omsk so he was russian also thought he start playing in a ukrainian club. Tikhonenko born in uszbekistan.

[@chupa2000]

US team has all african americans, only Dan Majerle is real “american”

[@aleksthegreat4130]

Goborov and Volkov(born in Russia,grew up in Ukraine) were also Russians,Tikhonenko must be of Ukrainian and Russian origins,born in Uzbekistan,he would later play for Russian national team. By the way,there is no Native American on this USA team,only depressed blacks and Dan Majerle)

Нацисты обсуждают игроков команды ссср. В ссср никого и никогда не делили по национальности.

[@creates100]

[@Illbeback2030]

[@eugenijussanda4958]

Without Baltic countries the worst.
