    Hey guys, really exciting news! I just found out that we get to interview one of the all time great Blazer players, Jerome "Mercy" Kersey this Sunday!

    As you all know I'm not a journalist so I need your help in making sure I have some great questions to ask him.

    Post your great questions here!

    Jerome, how has the modern game changed from your heyday as a Blazer?
    What adjustments would you make to the current roster to increase the chances of being a contender?
    Toughest player you ever had to defend in your era?
    What was the attraction of Portland as a place to make your permanent home after your retirement from the game?
    Do you still keep in touch with many of your old teammates?

    Any chance to drop a Rip City Rhapsody verse for Dame's 4 Bar Friday?

    What went through your mind immediately after the infamous "flip and fall"?

    Favorite Kevin Duckworth anecdote?

    I think you were one of the most consistent high effort players in league history. Was there a particular motivation or pregame routine that enabled you to bring it every night?

    What was your favorite memory as a Trail Blazer?

    Of the 3 great teams of the early 90's (89-90, 90-91, 91-92), which team was the best?

    What was your favorite playoff series?

    Did the players dislike the Lakers as much as the fans did?

    Do you ever drink out of your own image? (show picture)
    Or did any of the players collect their Dairy Queen glasses?

    Which Blazer team was better, yours or today's?

    You, or Batum?

    You, or Kiki?

    You, or LeBron?

    Which NBA was better, then or now?

    Which changes made the league worse? Which better?

    What do you think of sleeves?

    How did it feel to play "The Perfect Quarter" against the Spurs?
    Who was your favorite player to match up against? The toughest? The dirtiest?
    Was there any significance to your jersey numbers (25, 12, 7)?
    Do you have any interest in coaching again?
    Who pitched the idea of you singing a verse in Bust A Bucket?

    What "really" happened on that road trip to Salt Lake City?

    I find it ironic that you posted this right after someone asked what really happened in SLC. ;)

    What are your personal interests or hobbies outside of basketball?

    Did you dream of doing something for a career other than playing basketball?

    Buck Williams had some tough match-ups with Karl Malone during the playoffs. What are some of the other brutal match-ups you and your teammates had while playing?

    When you played, who was the league's most underrated player we've forgotten?

    Who should get more credit in NBA history than he's getting?
