    Me!
    The improved mood in the building is palpable.
    There are certain people, who if I am dangling on the side of a cliff, I wanna see THEIR hand reach over to pull me up.
    Joe C. is one of those type of people.
    Unlike his predecessor, he is trustworthy, and the players know it.

    And you have personal experience with the man. Which is awesome, and thank you for sharing your experience.

    By the way he talks, I'm not at all surprised.

    I’d like to submit myself for big Blazers fan. Tattooed logo on my leg, followed them on road trips to every arena, moved from NYC to Portland for 8 months and drove Uber all night every night so I could be a season ticket holder in 2018-19.

    I'm sure if the rest of us had the financial opportunities that you have, we would do similar. Plus, getting a tattoo on your leg doesn't mean much, HCP has one and he's a Lakers fan.

    I’ve never been rich or had a job that’s lasted more than 2.5 years. “Bones” helped me pay off some debt and take care of the people around me but I was never rich. I’m sure you have more money than I have. Anyone could do what I did if they made it a priority. Magnifier paid for one of my road trips in fact. I paid for the whole season in Portland by driving Uber 10 hours a night every single night. Anyone could do it.

    The guy forgot to mention that I got him tickets last second at a road game and even got him interviewed on our broadcast.

    What was your per episode salary.

    I would bet you made more in those 2 years than most of us make in 10. Especially those who have children.
