    Easily my favorite basketball color commentator ever.

    RIP, Snapper. As big as the Blazers were in my childhood, Snapper was a big part of that.

    I know it had been reported that he had been very ill for many years. Any word what he had?

    Also, why was he called Snapper?

    How 'bout getting some games back on KGW where they belong? That would be the perfect tribute to Snapper, given how much of his broadcasting career was on NBC locally and nationally.
