    I'm not sure how I feel about that video. It's weird to act like Jerami Grant is a Portlander. Yeah, he was born in Portland, but it's not like he grew up in Portland.

    That'd be like claiming Mike Dunleavy Jr as a Portlander.

    Nice

    You know who needs to bring it this season? The fans… Fans at the game underperformed last year too. Obviously how the team plays has something to do with it. Just can’t overlook that how the fans support sometimes has something to do with how the team plays.

    I hope to see the fans support the team like winners, and the team to do the same.

    Melo played a few seasons here. So he’s basically a portlander too, right?

    Theres even that photo of him in the airport doing the shoes/pdx carpet photo. Which is a portlander thing to do.

    Portlander Klay Thompson too.

    Trade for Terrance Ross.

    Sign Kevin Love.

    Dame
    Thompson
    Ross - Melo
    Grant
    Love

    They said he was born here. How is that claiming he's a portlander?

    Loved seeing BG, Carrie and Fred.

    It's implied that he has some deep connection to the city. Otherwise, who cares if he was born here? Sabonis' kid was born here, who cares?

    I get why they say it, because he's now a Blazer, his father was a (crappy) Blazer. But it's kinda lazy.

    Same with talking about GP2 being a G-League to Champion with zero mention of him going to OSU.

    It just felt like something written by people who used a quick glance at wikipedia to get their facts and didn't want to (or weren't allowed to) dig deeper.

    I think it's cool that Grant was born here. Just one more reason why the best fans in the NBA are going to love the guy.

    There are probably rules against using college highlights or mentioning college affiliation in team commercials etc. That's my guess.

    It's a rally video. It's pumping up the Blazers and how important the culture of the team in relationship to the city is, that makes it special. It's rah rah, just enjoy and GO BLAZERS!

    I hope you guys spotted Bob Gross in the video. No Bobby Gross, no NBA title. He was awesome in the finals.

    My only complaint is the over-use of "fans"..
    I am not gonna get "pumped up" by watching a regular dude fishing in a RipCity hat, or some chick jogging in front of Moda.
    Keep it to the voices who get us excited.
