Interesting Interview With Sherman Alexie

[ABM]

Here's one Blazer-related snippet. Interesting interview all the way around, though IMO:

The Lumberjack: You’re a huge basketball fan, right?

Sherman Alexie: Mmhmm.

LJ: Are you still a Sonics fan after their relocation to Oklahoma City (renamed the Thunder) or have you changed your loyalty to the Portland Trailblazers?

Alexie: (Laughs) I am a man without a team.

LJ: Really?

Alexie: Oh yeah. There is nothing more tribal than sports fans. I’ve watched a few (Thunder) games on TV. I’ve got a 10-game pack for the Blazers, so I’ve gone to about seven of those games this year. But I’m an outsider. I’m not from Portland, so it’s not my team. It’ll never be my team. So I’m a man without a tribe.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

That's right. He's a man without a tribe.
