That was such a fun summer as a kid in Portland.

I miss the Red Hot and Rollin' slogan.

I was 19. What a great time to be alive!

I was still a twinkle and my daddy's eye...

To all you Young Whippersnappers out there:

You have no idea the joy we experienced, and how long we've been chasing that high.

Blazers won the rings, CBS switched immediately to the Kemper Opem. Fucking assholes

You are absolutely right. And unfortunately, we aren't anywhere close to winning again. Probably won't see a championship in my lifetime.

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved it all...

I think I am correct on this but I can be fact checked. Only two teams in the finals lost the first two away games and won the next four straight. The 1977 blazers and 2021 Bucks. 28 in 1977 I thought I would see more championships with Walton and others thru the years. I knew how good Walton was having attended U C L A seeing him and Alcindor. Odds not good for me ever to see another world championship in Portland.

This is facts, not even an opinion.

I was -6. I hope to be alive for the next one!
