http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2010/04/blazers_top_40_no_6_brandon_ro.html So who are the top 5? Walton, Drexler, Porter, and who else? I haven't looked at the whole list.
Fuck Sheed. You know why he should't even get a look? Because he wouldn't give a shit if he was on the list.
He's not on the list which means he would be top 5. He was quite important to the team those first few years. Just because they weren't very good doesn't mean he wasn't an important factor. Gramps...
This is a subjective list compiled by Quick right? Dude openly feuds with some players (like Sheed) and has a love fest with others (Damon). He's shown himself to be a lazy gossip monger time and again and a very poor source of facts/information about the team and league. We're all entitled to an opinion, this list is his. If I were to read it I'm sure I'd disagree with some of his reasoning because he's such a tool. STOMP
Waitaminnit! What about the guy who was "Going to win us three or four games".... Not only that, I'm especially disappointed LaRue Martin didn't make the list. Gramps...
It just goes to show that over time folks memories of players fade. Roy hasn't done a quarter of the shit Drexler accomplished in his career.
Have we predicted the list, then? Walton, Drexler, Petrie, Porter, and Lucas? What order? I predict: 1.) Walton 2.) Drexler 3.) Lucas 4.) Porter 5.) Petrie I could see putting Drexler #1, but considering Clyde had to leave Portland to win a championship, I have a real hard time with putting him above the most important player on the Blazers' only championship team. It does pack the top five with players on the Blazers' best two runs - the mid '70s and early '90s.
