    He's a team guy, but this is a huge personal accomplishment for him. He had a lot of knee trouble when he first came into the league.

    Congratulations, Joel.

    A great accomplishment for the first guy to really put skin in the rebuilding Blazer organization.

    As I fan, I'll never forget him choosing Portland over San Antonio at a time when that looked like a foolish decision.

    Wouldn't you love to see him get at least one title as a reward?

    I remember thinking it was a risky move form him, then thinking maybe we overpaid, and now thinking he is a key part of our success.

    Major props to Joel. When he came to Portland I remember thinking, "Great. Another 7 foot stiff washout."

    Then it was, "This guy can't go two minutes without fouling."

    Then it was, "No way we get to re-sign him if San Antonio wants him."

    Then it was, "He can't play more than a few games without getting injured."

    And here we are. The guy has proven me wrong at just about every turn, and I couldn't be happier. Well done. Major props to Joel and all he's achieved.

    Now, it's just a shame he'll never be able to score on anything but a wide open dunk. (Come on, big guy, prove me wrong again.)

    It got an offensive foul; Joel was outside the circle.

    Let me guess - it then threw a ball at Joel, Joel came talking and they both got technicals. Right?

    I don't think I'm way off by saying that Joel might have been our 2nd most valuable player this season. I love LA, but what Pryz brought to the team on and off the court was amazing! Remember everybody, he can become a free agent after next season!

    Yep, exactly. I hear the bus threatened to clip Rudy, and Przy got the red ass.

    I totally agree. Without Joel, this season doesn't go nearly as well.
