RIP Snapper.

Now can someone tell us why they call him Snapper?

Looks like an inside joke (story):

No warning of health problems, so I'm shocked.

Man we almost lost him a decade ago because of health problems.

How 'bout getting some games back on KGW where they belong? That would be the perfect tribute to Snapper, given how much of his broadcasting career was on NBC locally and nationally.

Oh damn. So sorry to hear this.

"Player movement, ball movement."

Easily my favorite basketball color commentator ever.

RIP

Love it. Same.

He was great at what he did. He and Walton were brilliant together

My favorite Broadcaster ever. I met him once. He was amazing. I'll never forget his on air battles with Bill Walton.

He was a class act.

You will be missed Snapper!

Portland Legend

I went to a Blazers preseason game at Gill Colosseum back when they played them around the state. I don't remember anything about the game but I remember I was sitting one row back and two seats over from him. He looked like he didn't want to be bugged, so I didn't bug him. But I can confess I was a totally geeked out fan boy the whole time.

RIP Steve

He had an edge to him, but he was as cool as can be. We got along, cause he always used to crack on people. Always had a joke about somebody, I loved it.
