In terms of on-the court impact? Because being a Trail Blazer is more than that.
 
I can’t believe @Mediocre Man voted for Brandon Roy!
 
best is pretty ambiguous.

as ive collected DS since forever its no contest for me. no damon on the poll but fuckin steve blake - lord help me.

but he's probably my favorite, best well...... depends on the criteria.

other favs of mine - rider, sheed, sabonis, porter, lucas, walton, kenny, davis, roy, dame, pryz etc


damon follows me on IG now :P so kewl
 
1. The Schonz
2. Glyde

Lillard will probably be #1 if he sticks around.
 
Here's my all-time Blazers starting 5, with two alternates.

I'd give Clyde the nod as the best. 12 seasons, 8 All-star appearances, and 94 playoff games as a Blazer.
Walton gets the second slot. NBA champ, MVP.
In my opinion, Lillard has now risen ahead of Aldridge for the #3 position. Aldridge appeared in 34 playoff games as a Blazer in 9 seasons. Dame has already played in 35 playoff games, in only 6 seasons. Dame also has that 1st-team all-nba award under his belt.
Porter, Lucas, and Kersey round out my top 7.
 
I got Walton then Clyde. Lillard is 3rd tho.

He needs a little more playoff success imo.. 1 more 1st round exit and it’s starting to be too much early exits
 
Clyde has become a total Houston Rocket turd, but he owns the records, and playoff success, albeit with a lot better supporting cast, so my vote, reluctantly goes to him. Man! it's so sad how much of a Rocket licker he is. Acts like he never played for our team. Dame, is the guy who I want to vote for in my heart. I think if he can stay healthy, PLEASE!, he will own all the records when it's all said and done. Dame is , BY FAR, the best Blazer closer I have ever seen. He is an Alpha Dog and game assassin. Dame was real good right out of the gate. Excellent now. Took Clyde a couple years. But maybe that was on Dr. Jack. Clyde didn't stay, and took the chicken way to a championship.

Broy wasn't around for very long but he was a heck of a closer too, but yeah Dame's definitely not scared to take big shots.
 
Walton is my sentimental, emotional choice. In his prime, he was at top 3 center of ALL TiME. Don't think that you can say that about Drexler and his position. Getting Dame there would be great, but he's got to win more. Brandon would be my favorite if his career didn't get cut short. He might have been the best ever - leader, finisher, setting the pace, shooter, clutch, brave.
 
Probably have to say Clyde, just on all star appearances, play-off success and longevity. I think Dame may pass him, hopefully in all of those. But, while Clyde may have been the greatest, my childhood and teenage years my favorites were Kersey and Uncle Cliffy. Also have to say that sharing a birthday with B Roy also keeps him pretty high on my list.
 
Walton for me. He won the team's only title and was league MVP. Clyde Drexler was the greatest Houston Rocket who spent most of his career in another city. Dame can be the greatest Blazer when all is said and done. Toss up between Sabas and Roy as to who is the biggest "what if."
 
My favorite foreign 5.

Arvydas Sabonis
Victor Khryapa
Rudy Fernandez
Drazen Petrovich
Sergio Rodriguez
 
It's Clyde now but before his career is over, I think Dame will be. I see more playoff success before the end of his career and he'll be the scoring and assists leader. Dame will be the greatest Blazer of all time but for now, it's Clyde.

Drexler lacked spine.

I've got nothing against Clyde for wanting to be identified with Houston any more. He grew up there. It was a nice way to end his career on a winning note after those great Phi Slamma Jamma teams disappointed. I just think it's pointless to identify his career with the Blazers when he views it as just a a mere way-stop. That's what he wants so let him have it.
