    Right? I get no prima donna from him... only "business like... get shit done" type from him. But he has a heart, you can tell.

    What about Terry Porter? Not saying he is above Dame in this regard (he shouldn't be) but he was a good ambassador that I remember. Not his fault we released him a year or 2 early.

    Not a bad suggestion from a character standpoint, but he wasn't nearly as easy on the ears.

    To me Brian Grant, Duck, Porter and Kersey invested in the city and really did a lot for the community and as ambassadors to the Blazers..Dame looks to be on the path to the greatest ever

    I could see Wes coming back and being a part of the organization one day, he may have been a Jazz and is a currently a Mav but at heart he is a Blazer. He knows it, we know it, Paul Allen knows it.

    Hard to top Jerome and Duck for me. Both of those men loved this town and we loved them back. I mean I cried when I heard that Jerome had passed. But Lillard seems to "get Portland" more than any other player I have ever seen. His natural flair and leadership rubs off on everybody around him. And his pedigree, underappreciated and unknown qualities.... what's more Portland than that? Drexler secretly always pined for Houston and Walton got pissy with with doctors and coke dealers from what I understand. Dame is as happy as a baby in a cradle. Pun intended.
