Fans ask the questions, the Jerome Kersey edition!

[SlyPokerDog]

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?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

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?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

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?

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

 

[Hobbesarable]

What are your personal interests or hobbies outside of basketball?

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

Just a few days left to get your questions in!

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

 

[jlprk]

Who was the fastest player you played against? The best jumper...best at coming off screens...best at setting picks...best outside shooter...best with inside fakes...who was the toughest meanest hombre...who would have been so much bigger if not ravaged by injuries...(add yours here)...

No one? Anything?

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Seems as if players that used to play here years ago loved Portland and for some made it there long term home? Players now a days 'it seems' gets here and wants the hell out. What about us and this town adorned it to you?
