Alexander Volkov (20pts/6asts) vs. Celtics (1991)
Переглядів 25,844
6 років томуThe Russian-born Ukrainian Sasha Volkov was one of the first Soviets to come over to the NBA in the late 1980s. He was agile, could handle the ball and see the floor at 6-10. A poor man's Detlef Schrempf, perhaps? Here he used his pump-fake-and-drive game to go at an older Larry Bird and then act accordingly. Blair Rasmussen was probably thrilled about the looks he was getting from Volkov. November 30, 1991.

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.

I never forgave him that he went to Olympiacos.... But he was a great player!

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.....

Александр Волков против Ларри Берда. достойно и сильно.

Yeah, I can see his outstanding assist ability. He really brings solid shooting touch out of his teammates, such as Blair Rasmussen. Until now I'd only known Blair by his stats, but I really like his middle range jumpers, and those game shots were made thanks to Sasha's assists. Great works by both.

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。

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).

Jokic or Detlef is a fine comparison
@Lorenshyne 8 місяців тому
he seemes very short and plays way way below the rim
@nomedigaasi 5 років тому
Whatever happened to this player? Or did he just had one good game?
@vdLeo-je6os 2 роки тому
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.
@thescatman5029 2 роки тому
@@vdLeo-je6os The league was starting to go in a European direction. Sabonis, Marceliunus, Dino Raga, etc. The long-term direction disproved your argument.
