I'm actually curious. This came from a discussion on the Aldridge thread...

Recently, I'd have to put Felton at #1. Blake left us a couple times, but I seriously doubt our fans ever razzed him. Clyde never got it. Who else deserved/got the wrath of our fans, when they returned to play against us?
 
I honestly don't know. Don't really pay much attention to the different crowd reactions. LMA even got a pretty good reception his first time back considering the situation. There isn't a town better at treating former players with a fond remembrance. We are like the Anti-Philly or Anti-Boston.
 
Only ones i can remember are fatlton and lamucus. Maybe a little bit of crawful cause he was spending time pregame shopping for a new team.

Did oden get any boos or was he injured before returning?
 
I don't remember Zach Randolph's return, but I imagine it couldn't have been a warm welcome back.

Edit - here's and article from his return. Sounds like he was booed pretty good. It was also the night of Brandon Roy's first triple-double.
Brandon Roy, who supplanted Randolph as the Blazers’ franchise player, celebrated his first All-Star selection (announced Thursday) with his first career triple-double — 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.

Here's another funny quote from the article -
While the rest of the team came to the arena by bus, Randolph drove himself to the game from his home in West Linn, about 17 miles south of the arena.

“I almost got lost,” he said sheepishly.

Longtime Blazers observers could hardly suppress their chuckles when Randolph strode in from the loading dock at 6:29 p.m. His tardiness was a constant during his six seasons here. Randolph shrugged it off and said he did not expect to be fined.

Bonzi did......and we lost that game. As of course he and his teammates enjoyed the last laugh. Fans might enjoy the booing....but I doubt our players enjoys the extra motivation we provide to the opposition by doing so. The visiting team always rallies for their teammate.

Yeah, it got me digging myself. J.R. Rider, Bonzi Wells. I guess probably most of the Jail Blazers, but I can't find any clips....

He got a few boos, but then they turned to cheers IIRC.

Darius Miles got booed.
 
I got cracked on pretty hard from the whole crew for giving LA some love when he came walking up the loading dock......opps! But I hate when fans boo ex players to tell you the truth. Jamal Crawford STILL gets it.

Man that camera work, so grainy, and the sound, I thought I was watching the beginning of a horror movie.
 
A foot massage huh, so that's what they call it these days

Regarding JR Rider, could somebody explain to me why he was booed? The year they knocked off Utah in the Western conf. semifinals I seem to recall him being an integral part to their success that season. I know he got traded for Steve Smith but minus his off court legal issues (seemed to be pretty tame, weed I seem to recall) what reason did fans at the time have to boo him for, especially considering what the blazers got in return.

Oh and FUCK ALDRIDGE!

I remember Miles getting it BAD when he was making his shitty comeback with Memphis. The best moment was when he grabbed an offensive rebound, went back outside, drove in and got STUFFED by Przybilla and we ran down for an alley-oop layup from El Chacho to Outlaw. There was a fan-shot video of it on YouTube for a while but I can't find it now.

Fuck Darius Miles.
