Which former Blazers got Boo'd by our fans, when they returned to play on a visiting team?

[KingSpeed]

Why would anyone boo Blake? He never quit on us. He got traded 3 times. He should've been booing us.

 

[KingSpeed]

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 loved Rider. He dominated Hornacek in that series. I wish we had never traded him and Jim Jackson.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The one who deserved it the most -

Sheed

Why?

 

[crandc]

Bonzi Wells IMO deserved it most.

Darius Miles deserved it. So did Crawford.

I would personally not boo Aldridge and definitely not Sheed.

Well accusing people in Salem of hanging black people from trees probably didn't help.

I don't think it was Salem. As I recall it was more Central Oregon, not the Willamette Valley.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I don't think it was Salem. As I recall it was more Central Oregon, not the Willamette Valley.

But the most inflammatory comments were about Portland itself, which Rider described as a "racist area.''

"Forty miles from here, they're probably still out hanging people from trees,'' Rider said without elaborating.

did camby? cant remember

 

[BBert]

That's a video of LMA giving you $5 while telling you to meet him in the locker room in 10 mins to give him a foot massage.

Yeah..."foot"....

 

[Stevenson]

I would never boo LaMarcus either; he might have been a prima donna, but he was fair and square and legit and a good guy.

Sheed on the other hand was the rudest, most entitled, most selfish SOB I ever saw come through this place, and that is saying a lot. "CTC"? Throwing a towel in Sabonis' face?

But don't take it from me, here's what Bill Walton had to say about Rasheed Wallace:

"Wallace is a chronic underachiever, a malcontent, a disruptive force, a negative personality -- and that does not even begin to address his selfishness, emotional immaturity, bitterness and endless anger. I have also personally found him to be a boor and a bully. Those of us with the misfortune of ever having anything to do with this lost soul had to unfortunately accept the lunacy and obnoxious behavior of this sad and pathetic individual."

 

[BlazerWookee]

A foot massage huh, so that's what they call it these days

Well, eleven inch massage, anyway...

 

[BlazerWookee]

I'd boo Bill Walton if given the chance.

 

[crandc]

Sheed was and is complicated. Yes, he was an unreal talent ... when he felt like it.
Yes, he threw the towel. But generally his teammates gave him high marks.
Sheed was the only one who faced the press after the horrible WCF in 2000 while all the leaders stayed behind barred doors.

Sheed is bringing trucks of water to Flint, a city to which he has no real ties, and publicizing the issue, but getting no mention because he is Sheed.

He got more bad press for smoking pot than other players did for assault.

The one who pissed me off, personally as well as "fan-wise" was Bonzi Wells. Years later he had regrets. Boo fing hoo.

 

[RR7]

Hedo , Felton, Zach and Aldridge all got the "kobe"treatment, getting booed on every single touch. those were the ones I remembered the most

 

[BlazerWookee]

I'm still mad at Nate for putting Brandon back in the game (IIRC it was his first game back after an injury) before I was finished booing Bonzi Wells, who had just entered the game for the first time.

TL/DR: I got boo-balled by McMillan once.

 

[Voodoo]

I'd boo Bill Walton if given the chance.

Given your reputation I would assume the list of former Blazer players you wouldn't boo is shorter than the list of former Blazers you would.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Nope. If someone has the time to put together a list of active former Blazers, I'd be happy to "yes-no" it and prove you wrong...

Haha, fair enough I am certainly not going to do that.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Before my time, but I'm pretty sure this asshole got booed a lot when he came back to play against us.
