Was doing some googling on Jim Paxson, and came across an article about the 10 best draft picks in Blazers history, with Jim being one of them.

This video accompanied it.

Good find! The shorts, socks, shoes, and the hair covering the ears - amazing!

Pretty rare to see high quality courtside footage from a 1979 NBA game. Also weird to see Alex English with the Pacers.

Some things I noticed from that game.

• I totally forgot that Alex English was a Pacer.
• It was neat how I knew instantly it was the Blazers based on the uniforms.
• Initially I had no idea who they were playing, because I didn't recognize the uniforms. At first I thought it was at the Tacoma Dome.
• The movement seemed much smoother and with purpose than some of the current day NBA. That was pre 3 point line, so it made sense. Now everyone can just shoot 3's and the offensive flow doesn't have to be as crisp or detailed.
  
• I hope @HCP is flummoxed as to how I did the bulletin points.
