    Rookie year. 1990.

    Damn.

    Cliffy was always one of the fan friendliest Blazers.

    I used to bring a supply of headbands to games, then put on whatever color he wore.

    RIP. So much of that 90-92 team gone.

    Just remembered. I worked at Emanuel Hospital and one day who do I see in corridor, Clifford Robinson. He was looking for the men's room. Had that odd realization you get that sports stars need to take a leak like ordinary mortals.

    Did Cliff still live in the Portland area? I know I saw him at The Pit Stop sports bar a couple of years ago.

    Remember when Blazers and Lakers both had players named Clifford Robinson? When teams played each other Schonz went nuts trying to call the game.

    Trivia question. One season Blazers had three Robinsons. Can you name the other two?

    Outside of his rookie year, he always choked in playoffs. It was maddening. We ended up letting him go for nothing. Remember the Uncle Cliffy dance though? I can’t find it on YouTube.

    Now that coaches would encourage his longer shots, who of today's players are most similar to him? In shooting range, driving to the hoop, defense, etc.
