Blazers were the “hood” franchise. I’d ride out with them in any league any day. Reminds me of intra-mural basketball in college.

Very well written article. I been reading dime since hoopstv days.
This is the best article yet. Simple but real nice. ‘Can’t stop sabonis’s hook’ lol.

Some commenters forgot to mention Dale davis and Brian grant.

B. Grant did a decent job tryin hold down shaq daddy, even thi shaq
was still dominating them.

To nyeme: thanks for posting all the players. Damm I didn’t even reallize they were that deep. Absolutely no idea how the GM managed to get all of them. That’s gota be the most stacked team in the last 20 yrs in terms of talent alone.

To celts fan: I cracked up when u brougt up Quyntel woods. I totally re all he got pulled over and didn’t have ID on him. then hw gave the officer his rookie card as proof. Friggin hilarious shit.

I was so disaapointed when. Jail blazers blew their huge lead in game 7 western conf finals vs lakers. It woulda been a crazy ass finals team.

I think Nate Mcmillan is the reason of their success right now. He’s a great coach but I don’t think he’s given enough credit for the job he’s done to this team. I think if he leaves this team, Portland will be lucky enough to land a playoff spot.

@The Cynic: that was Damon. The cops went into his house because his alarm was going off and the door was open – and found his rather substantial personal stash.

@Nyeme: the Blazers didn’t draft Charles Outlaw. The guy who they drafted in ’03 is named Travis.

Add Ha Seung Jin and Nedzad Sinanovic to the Jailblazers team. Practice turned into pinata swings at teammates.

They were probably the deepest team ever assembled. Not deep with roleplayers either, but they had legitimate stars/starters coming off their bench. Tenure of Jailblazers

Sheed, Sabonis, Damon, Pippen, Steve Smith, Jimmy Jackson, Wells, Self-Proclaimed Kobe-Stopper, Derek Anderson, Brian Grant, Dale Davis, J. O’Neal, Zach Randolph, J.R. Rider, Chris Dudley, Kenny Anderson, Kemp..

@sh!tface – I was crackin up when they drafted Charles OUTLAW…I said their PR Team really pissed off now. LOL

& Ekstor,

I lived in Portland for 8 years and saw many many Blazers’ games. The city was in an uproar ’cause of the Kobe advertisement. Kobe was sponsored by Adidas at the time and they had headquaters in Portland. Eventually, Adidas took the billboard down, but lots of people went out and bought those yellow and black Kobes anyway.

Also, Dime, how could you leave out Issiah Rider getting caught smoking week out of a Coke can?
