    I wanted to build a tunnel of airport metal detectors, and I wanted fans to line the freeway on-ramp waving metal-detecting wands as Damon FINALLY left town.

    IDK, I kinda liked Damon. His whole mighty mouse thing was really appealing to me. Then again, AI was my most fav player growing up, so I'm kinda not qualified to answer this.

    His tenure was short, but I absolutely HATED Jeff McCinnins. Loved it when we initially traded him for DMiles.

    I loved Rider and Bonzi. We made the playoffs and won playoff rounds with them.

    We hadn't won a playoff series in years before Damon got here. Once he did, we won 4.

    I mostly liked Damon. And Sheed although there were times I wanted to wring his neck. (I once wrote a feature on him, and yes it was published, titled Sweet and Sour Sheed.

    Least respected and most hated are not quite the same. A person with no talent who botches plays is unrespected. Hatred is a lot stronger IMHO and more personal.

    I'd have to put Patterson at the top, or bottom if you will. Rape conviction tops pot smoking and profanity any day. Bonzi, because while Sheed was always Sheed and we knew it, Bonzi kept saying oh my bad, I'm going to change, this will never happen again, blah blah blah and two days later...Besides, it wasn't just team or fan, he made that promise to me personally and broke it.

    And BTW, no mention of dog fighter Qyntel Woods?

    I mostly liked Damon,but not Sheed. Sheed is the only player I ever wanted to do bad after he left the Blazers. He had a lot of talent, but only would play well when he felt like it. To much of a head case and I couldn't stand it when he didn't have enough motivation to play when he was getting 16 or something million. What bs. Man, don't get me started on Sheed!! I could go on. Going to cut this rant short.

    I did, too, when I thought they were "lovable rogues" and not reprehensible scumbags.

    Felton . . . he sucked and was so disrespectful to the organization. Also, never warmed up to the Ptd fans. Bonzi was a flat out jackass, but at least he could ball (when not spitting or blacking out)

    I hate myself for chanting Camby's name and him being one of my favorite players when in the end, for him, it was all about him and not the organization . . . still trying to figure out if his invovlement with the community was genuine.
