Trivia Picture

Quick, know who this guy is? Hint: He once played for the Blazers.

 

[mgb]

He kind of looks like TP.

Heh, that's what I thought, as well. Obviously, no, though.

 

[julius]

Wicks.

 

[ABM]

Wicks.

Yup. Good call.

Yup. Good call.

Don't be impressed. All I did was back-track your picture. The properties showed it was from the LA Times. And from there, it was easy.

I figured as much.

Wow, he retired early.
Kinda funny that he followed Bill Walton.

If that was Porter, that Suns job must've aged him 10-15 years in those four-five months as coach.

Who is this former Trail Blazer?

Erick Barkley....

Left St. Johns after his Freshman year and that was a big mistake.

Sidney Wicks was a very strange story in the NBA. He scored 24.5 points per game in his rookie year, and then his scoring average declined every year after that until he retired.

Here's a great article on Wicks that gives a hint of why he never achieved greatness:

The summer of 1971, Inman says, the Blazers began a relationship with sports psychologist Bruce Ogilvie in which he would provide psychological profiles on prospects before the draft. That summer, though, he tested Portland’s picks after the draft.

“In drafting Sidney, I was going on what John Wooden and his assistant coach told me, and what I saw on the court,” Inman says. “We needed a power guy who could score, and Sidney was both. There was no question about his talent level.

“I remember I was sitting in a Lewis & Clark College lecture room with our owners (Larry Weinberg and Herman Sarkowsky) and (general manager) Harry Glickman. Bruce was unbelievably honest about the frailties in Sidney’s athletic personality. The more Bruce talked, the more the owners slumped in their chairs. Sidney didn’t fall down in just one or two categories, but four or five, which really raised the red flag. Had we known, we probably would not have taken him.”

This is the shortest Wikipedia on a sport athlete that I have ever seen. Poor Erick Barkley. He should have finished his years in college to get a better encyclopedia listing.

At least Qyntel Woods has a profile even though his ppg was horrible in his stint here in Portland.

Michael Holton

I want a picture of Richard Anderson as a Blazer. I've looked before and he seems almost as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster. Or maybe Peter Verhooven. Anyone else have the full wall size poster that came in sections from Burgerville. Took me all year to get the complete poster, only to be scared nightly as I slept by Peter Verhooven standing next to Petr Gudmoondson. Easily the ugliest duo of big men to ever play in the same frontcourt. That would have been circa 82' if I remember right.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Without looking at the name of the picture, what former Blazer is that? Yes, I have his rookie card, FWIW.
