The Jail Blazer era didn't really start until after Pippen and Smitty left PDX.

Not according to the Oregonian. Beginning a couple of years before that, they had dedicated a full daily page on their site to their hatred of the team, listing their transgressions from the past.

Trolls on ESPN were constantly using the term long before Pippen left.

True, but that was mainly because of Isaiah Rider and his Coca-Cola can. Once Qyntel Woods hit PDX, and Bonzi/Sheed/Damon were the 'leaders', things really went sideways.

I'm not even talking about his talent. If he really did say this, then that is exactly the kind of cold-blooded bastard I want on this team -- the dude eats, breathes and probably poops (ouch!) basketball.

Where do people get the idea that you have to be an asshole to be a good player? It might be an American thing. I remember when I first came to this country how shocked I was that people made noise and actually tried to disrupt the opposing team when they shoot free throws. That's called "unsportsmanlike" anywhere else.

You come from Europe where people kill each other over soccer matches.
