(Stolen from RipCityMornings): If the Blazers put up a statue, who should be first?

[rasheedfan2005]

1. Harry Glickman

2. Jack Ramsay

3. The Unknown Fan

No one else merits a statue.

free throw guy?

the thrilla?

Which is why I think the 77 team deserves an Iwo Jima-style statue - they were the epitome of a "team", and they should be honored that way:

What the hell is rip city mornings?

i had denny give them back as part of your rookie contract. be sure to tip your agent.

I was actually thinking of something along these lines but.......hard to equate an annual sports trophy with the ultimate sacrifice......

I don't think he meant EXACTLY like the Iwo Jima statue, but something that honors the whole team, since it really was a team effort.

Maybe something like this captured in bronze:

It's a typo. Fucking autocorrect!

He meant rip shitty mornings. Which is what I do when I've had Mexican food before bed.

If they could figure out a way to get Duck and Clyde in there, THIS would be an amazing statue.......

fuck clyde he claims houston as his city to be worshipped in

If I'm not mistaken, he wore Blazers gear when chosen for the NBA Alltime 50 greatest ceremony......while he was a rocket. That speaks volumes.

says the guy with l*kers gear and purple and piss pinwheel avatars.

Dr Jack was my vote......for a player I'd go with the team statue...a sort of Blazer Mt Rushmore.....I'm not sure but one of you probably knows...wasn't Larry Steele the longest tenured player on that team? I think he was actually drafted by Portland too......I have a hard time putting Walton or Lucas ahead of each other so I'd make 2 statues if they were choices

 

[riverman]

That speaks volumes

A combo statue of Porter, Drexler, Kersey, Buck, and Duckworth.

I was thinking along the same lines, but a symbolic collection of broken body parts.

Other way around, unfortunately. He alienated Portland faithful by choosing to wear the jacket of the team he won the championship with.

Steele was a third round pick out of Kentucky in 1971, Portland's second year in the league. So yes, he was the longest tenured. Lloyd Neal was next.[/QUOTE]

Walton. I think he was the most important player in franchise history, despite his short prime with the team. I still think he epitomizes Portland, not just in terms of playstyle and being by far the best player on the only title team but also the "keep it weird" counterculture mentality that Portland values as a city.

I thought Channing Frye was the King of keeping Portland weird....if ever a guy fit Portland, it was Frye

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Mercy Mercy Jerome Kersey. Pretty much embodies Rip City.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I just changed my vote to Larry Weinberg, just to be different from everyone else. One of the original owners, and the principal owner during the title season. Gotta give him a little love.

Kinda love that that leaves Clyde as the only option on the poll without a single vote...

Why would the Blazers pay for a statue in Houston?

 

[illmatic99]

Nobody.

We've already minimized jersey retirements by retiring a boatload of jersey #s. Don't do the same with statues. We haven't had anyone who deserves a statue yet.

 

[andalusian]

I'd vote for Mike Rice yelling at a ref.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Glickman, he literally gave Portland a pro sports team.

A piece of my childhood died the day that he walked on the court during that halftime ceremony wearing a fucking Rockets jacket. I may eventually learn to forgive, but I will never forget.

no lillard?

lillard statue that weighs 1800lbs

Only a statue of Felton would weigh that much
