J.R. Rider saying the Portland fans were still hanging nikkas from trees around the corner from the stadium :pachaha:

He wasn't too far off....the new white supremacist movement started in the Northwest in the 90s. I know those dudes gave two fukks about the fans there. They played for a good owner and most of them were getting good money there.

Man, I missed those days....:wow::to:

back when basketball was gooned out. No bytching, no flops, no shaking hands.... The '99-'00 Portland team was stacked from top to bottom. That squad could've won a chip easily if they were more focused and not dealt with so much fukkery. That game 7 told you everything you needed to know about the blazers.

Once Kobe and Shaq finally clicked....it was a wrap and the team kept getting caught in they own drama.

Thats one thing I noticed about Portland is that they done had some great squads over the past years, but never lived up to the expectations either due to legal trouble or injuries....

For reals Brian Grant must have been a saint on that squad.

Zach Randolph had all the tools to be blessed as an all time great. At least he straightened a lot and live up to the potential much later. Note to Vin Baker and Derek Coleman.
:ufdup: Don't you ever put derrick Coleman in the same category as vin baker

its a time in basketball that needs its own 30 for 30 episode lol
Damon Stoudamire is the new head coach at Pacific University, so the local radio station in Portland interviewed him yesterday. He said HBO is working on a documentary on the Jailblazers and will have all the key players involved.
:gladbron::banderas::blessed:

I hope it is done right. This is one of my most anticipated stories i wanted covered via documentary or book. It needs to be done right, the behind the scenes stories are too good.
