Really nice find. I read Wendell's blog religiously (... not in a "Heaven's Gate Cult, let's drink the Kool-aid" kind of way, but more of a "I go to church on Easter and Christmas and pray to God to help me win the lottery" kind of religiousness)
Didn't doubt he could still dunk! Good to hear he's doin good. I think I got his rookie card stashed somewhere. Takes me back. .

In the first quarter, there was a lot to get excited about. The Blazers came out loose and fast, and Porter hit a couple of threes to put the Blazers up by 8. Drexler looked like he was ready to take MJ's throne that year. What happened afterword has become more myth than fact, yes, Jordan got hot from behind the Three Line, but the Bulls as a team just turned the dial up to Eleven and the Blazers were just left in the dust.
