As the years, months, weeks, and days turn to hours, minutes and seconds, this incredibly beautiful rose city will be in full bloom with such a pleasant odor of anticipation that has not whisped up and down the streets in decades.
In one fast summer the blazers have given the city and world something to look forward to. Intertwined within the larger draft story, where Portland defied the norm, set off on their own path and walked out of the draft with more picks than they entered, along with a promising 7’2” big with seemingly elite level passing and court vision, is the feel good story of the cities arguably most beloved Blazer of all time. A truly epic daytime soap opera couldn't have been written better (even with Olshey’s help)!
Blazers have had the iconic statement “Rip City” since the 77’ Championship. The Blazers have seen superstars like Clyde the Glyde, Brandon Roy, Rasheed Wallace, Scottie Pippen, etc, come and go since, but no one ever created another statement saying. No one ever left such an imprint on the city.
Then came “Dame Time”.
Dame captivated audiences and gained the respect of peers, coaches and managements around the league with his clutch shooting, stoic personality and elite level competitive nature.
Over 11 seasons Dame took over most of Portlands all time offensive stat records, has accumulated many accolades like multiple time all star, Olympic Gold Medalist and more.
Unfortunately, Dame wasn't able to be surrounded by the right type of players needed to truly reach peek performance. Eventually the relationship became stale, which led to Dame requesting a trade, which Portland facilitated.
Now, two years later, Portland has signed Dame and brought back “Dame time” for what seems to be a final run and retirement party for when he is ready to hang up the Addidas.
The news of Dames return rang throughout the city on phones snd message boards all day, as people read the news and forwarded it on. The city was buzzing like it hadn't in years.
And as the clock ticks down to when Dame steps back on the court wearing that beloved pinwheel, the city will be in full explosion of emotions mimicking the best of fourth of July shows.
When that clock ticks down to Dame time once again, im not sure ill be able to hold back the tears.
It sure is an exciting time to be a Blazer fan!!!
