He was one of the reasons. I just remember reading in Robinson's autobiography how tough Sabonis was and always seemed to get the better of him. Maybe a lot of that comes from how humble Robinson is/was. There is no doubt they were pretty even up though. Given that the whole 88 Olympic team was dependent on Robinson, neutralizing him went along way to beating them.

Point still stands that all the other teams weren't just scrubs though. The Croatian team the Dream team faced in the gold medal game was loaded and featured Drazen Petrovic. He is pretty up there as far as international players to ever play in the NBA and the Dream team still beat them by 30+..

That team wasn't dependent on Robinson it had Manning also. But when Hawkins went out they had no outside game at all and Thompson was too stubborn to go to his 1-3-1 to stop the backdoor and take away the high post
