Volkov in europa è stato un gran giocatore. La sua sfortuna è stata quella di giocare in una nba che non credeva ancora nei giocatori europei. Se all' inizio ha fatto fatica pure petrovic è tutto dire.....
I like your Detlef Schrempf comparison. Sasha was a great passer and had solid range but his injuries really slowed him down. We knew him in Europe from previous years where he would try to dunk everything.
Never seen this game. At some stage Larry Bird was guarding Volkov. Probably Bird couldn't use his famous trash talk cause Volkov didn't understand too much :) Naa, really good game of the fellow. Bird must have been seriously injured or sth. (apart from his back pain).
Unfortunatelly the problem was that Volcov was white and European. NBA wants more black athletes and that is not a racist comment please because I was never a racist. Its the truth.
@@vdLeo-je6os The league was starting to go in a European direction. Sabonis, Marceliunus, Dino Raga, etc. The long-term direction disproved your argument.

Your comment is 100% right.
Was extremely strong and athletic, totally fitting the NBA style, should have had the opportunity to stay a bit more in the league

I never forgave him that he went to Olympiacos.... But he was a great player!
Fun fact he is my uncle
Александр Волков против Ларри Берда. достойно и сильно.
I remember him…a true baller.
Volkov had more athleticism than Schrempf
Да, Волков был очень атлетичным игроком. В сборной Союза он иногда вынужденно играл и на позиции центра
Volkov was the most "NBA ready" European player back in those days, tall, athletic and strong

彼(ボルコフ)のNBAでのプレー、この動画で初めて見ました。かつてソビエト代表でソウル五輪 金メダル獲得。この頃にはもう、ソビエト代表で一緒にプレーしたマーシャローニス(リトアニア)が、ゴールデン・ステートウォリアーズでプレーしている。
he did a lot for Ukrainian basketball

Jokic or Detlef is a fine comparison
Whatever happened to this player? Or did he just had one good game?

he seemes very short and plays way way below the rim
Celtics got cooked. goddamn.
Медленный и средний по технике игрок. В Греции ничего особенного не показал.
