    Keep in mind he was trying to play with a messed up knee (pre surgery). When a major part of your game is being athletic, its hard to be effective when your knee is junk.

    I kept that in mind. If you saw the games I did, you would feel similarly I think.

    You forgot to put in "cheer". Because I would cheer for the guy.

    I think you have an overabundance of free energy. He is a professional basketball player with some strengths and some weaknesses. He didn't perform as well as we hoped while he was on our team, but he provided some good entertainment and (when he was at his peak) he was one of the more impressive athletes on the floor.

    Sure, he clearly didn't deserve the contract he was given, especially in light of the medical (and, perhaps, psychological) issues that surfaced while he was here, but so what? He is off the team and apparently trying to be successful again. I don't see anything despicable here. If anyone is worth booing, it's the hare-brained Blazers management of the era that valued athleticism over all other personal qualities.

    Well, clearly I disagree with you (except for the first sentence). I thought he did deserve the contract based on his potential, earlier contributions and need on our team at that time. However, once I saw his attitude both on and off the court deteriorate, I lost all respect for him. I'm not booing his efforts to make it again in the league, I boo his efforts as a Portland Trailblazer.

    no matter what everyone says on here, Miles will get a loud and continuous boo when he is on the court.
