BEST POWER FORWARD IN BLAZERS HISTORY

Wow. You are either young, ignorant or both

 

[BlayZa]

i dont care about the labels, that era was fun to watch.

from there, we've had a few good runs - early Roy, last seasons over-achieving etc but cmon, that team had edge and could BALL

I wrote it in caps for a reason (i wasn't dead serious).

However, Sheed was definitely the most talented and versatile.
Lamarsha is a whore, Kiki was more of a SF as i understand it, Buck was more of a defensive guy with relatively low offensive stats,Robinson might be a good candidate because he seemed to be more solid and Wicks? well, i don't know if his game can translate into today's NBA.

So i'm not saying Sheed is the best, but it does seem to be close between all of those guys.

We need BNM to analyze this

Maurice fucking Lucas says hello. The greatest Trailblazer of them all.

Oh yea, forgot about him.
Look at his stats though, it's closer than you think.

Maybe i'm biased because i don't think many old timers are as good as players from the 90's-2000's.

Basically averaged 20/10 for us, and WON A CHAMPIONSHIP. Rasheed did nothing close to those numbers, and never got to the finals with us.

gah.... if Sheed won that series he goes on to win a chip as well.

I'm not going to argue about it too much because there's no way to compare players from different eras and Lucas did win a championship.

In my 41 years as a rabid Blazer fan, I have never heard or read anyone make this bizarre claim let alone while degrading someone else's as ignorant. Everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how outlandish, but this one is much further out on a skinny limb then a claim that Sheed is the greatest PF in Blazer history. It could be reasonably argued that Lucas in his 3.5 seasons with the PTB is in that discussion along with Sheed and LA, but greatest Blazer ever??? Just no. Yes they won a championship with him on the team, but lots of guys were on that team... do you similarly exaggerate Corky Calhoun's career value too? Walton gets the lionshare of the credit for the championship from pretty much everyone but you apparently. Drexler was unbelievable and put up staggering stats. Both were named to NBA's 50 greatest. Thats it for the list of greatest Trailblazer of them all.

Interesting you bring up Walton, who calls Lucas the greatest Blazer also. It's who his son Luke is named after.

Could have been. But he wasn't.

in case you haven't noticed, Walton says a lot of over the top things. But he doesn't toot his own horn always giving others the credit (usually Wooden). Anyhoo, here's a few BW fav quotes I pulled off the internet

"When I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven in the age of the romantics"

Jerry Reynolds- "Steve Nash is the greatest Canadian basketball player ever."
Bill Walton- "Well that's only because Neil Young didn't play basketball."

"John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western Civilization!"

"Who can stop Keith Closs? He's the best player in the NBA."

Should have thrown millions at him to be our broadcaster.

One of my favorites is when Tyreke Evans does a 360 lay up, and Walton says....

A thing of beauty. Einstein, DaVinci, Jobs and now Tyreke Evans.

Or on a bad inbounds play, he says ..... Thats one of the 6th worst inbound plays in the history of Oregon basketball

Love me some Bill Burr, but that was a bad impression

All of his impressions are kinda bad, that's what makes it so funny imo.
I don't know why but those 40 seconds had me laughing my ass off. "it comes from the center of his head and goes out his fucking broken nose".

 

[Mediocre Man]

Walton has lost his mind tonight on the Stanford/Colorado game

So far......

Talking about the plight of American Indians

The band playing Baba OReilly

Lucas and him telling refs before they played each other late in careers not to call fouls on them with each other.

Greatful Dead, of course

Asked his partners name 3 times

Asked score more than I can count

The Oregon Trail

His son, Nate, who made his company billions

Compared one of the players to his high school english teacher

Has sung

So ya, brilliant
