Sarunas Marciulionis: USSR + Lithuania highlights

I wanted to create a video that would show how good and explosive Sarunas Marciulionis was. A very underrated superstar up until this day. He had a modern type of game because, in the 80s and 90s, very few European guards possesed the body, strength, athleticism and overall technique that Marciulionis had. Maybe none of them. In my opinion, he is one of the three best guards in the history of European basketball. As a pioneer and embassador of the game in the United States, he usually gets much more credit over there, but at the other side of the Atlantic he usually gets ignored when compared to other greats like Drazen Petrovic, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Juan Carlos Navarro, Vassilis Spanoulis, etc. In his absolute prime, he might be even better than all of them. So, there you go.

The footage shown in this video belongs to the following international tournaments: 1987 Eurobasket, 1988 Christmas Tournament, 1988 Olympics, 1992 Olympics and 1995 Eurobasket.

Also, special credits to the following youtube uploaders for the game footage:
