    My take away - Damon watched The Young and the Restless?!?

    Seriously though, that was a great article, gives a great perspective.

    Yeah I enjoyed that. I never hated Damon like a lot of the blazer fans though. Loved watching him play for the home team even if he took some really dumb shots.

    It was never about the weed so much as him being a little bitch.

    I feel like he would be a lot more successful in the current NBA than 15 years ago.

    Sidebar: Trivia for you guys. Probably the most prominent bust of the previous NBA era was drafted #1 out of the college Damon will coach: Michael Olowokandi.

    Great letter by Damon. I kind of wish he'd be able to come back to the Blazers in some form someday.

    Every time he referred to himself as "Dame"....... it just didn't sit well with me.

    I have never heard anyone refer to him as "Dame," until this article. It just doesn't feel right.

    I was a HUGE Stoudamire fan when we traded for him. I was so psyched that we had acquired him, and I defended him fiercely, even though he never really lived up to the expectations. I lost all respect for him after he started bitching about playing time before game one against San Antonio in the WCF. That was unforgivable to me. You don't bitch about PT while you're about to start playing in the fucking western conference finals.

    I was at that same Jack Ramsey camp. I went to several of his camps when I was a kid.
