Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? As long as I can remember. One of my first Blazer memories is Danny Young hitting a 3 pointer at the buzzer that didn't count in the '89 Finals. Who is your current favorite player? Brandon Roy & Chris Paul Who is your All Time favorite player? Terry Porter & Sabonis What was your favorite moment? JR Rider & Brian Grant beating the Jazz in the Playoffs.
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? Not sure exactly. Late 80s I think. I was very casually a fan for a long time. My obsessive fanhood didn't start until more recently. Who is your current favorite player? Hard to say. I like most the guys. From what I've seen so far, I think it's going to be Bayless by the end of the season. He appears to have the fire and attitude that I like in players. Who is your All Time favorite player? Probably Brian Grant. What was your favorite moment? Probably when I realized just how wrong I was about Brandon Roy (I was opposed to drafting him), and just how lucky we are to have him. Yes, sometimes it's fun to be proven wrong.
Re: Blazer Roll Call Nice to see you here Foulzilla. I love the avatar--I miss the Brian Grant with the baby dreds.
Re: Blazer Roll Call Thanks guys. Glad to have found where everyone went. I just chalked it up to being the worst part of the offseason so noone had anything to say. I even deleted a pm sent to me pointing to this place because I didn't recognize the username so figured it was spam (thanks whoever sent me that by the way!). Anyways, good to see all the familiar names again.
Re: Blazer Roll Call Fan since the diaper days, poster on various boards since 1998 (ESPN was the first, then BBB/BBF), and glad to have found this place with help from Its_Go_Time. So Kiss_My_Darius/Its_GO_Time, if you tell me your name here, I'll hit the 'rep' button. Cheers, and go Blazers!
Re: Blazer Roll Call Your biased treatment by the mods at the "other board" was one of the main reasons I made the move. So, let's set the clock on about 3 years from now, and then this place will become fractured to the point of another migration.
Re: Blazer Roll Call Since '76 Greg Oden Terry Porter In person: Game 7, 1990 Western Conference Semi-finals against the Spurs - MC was going nuts On TV: Game 6, 1990 Western Conference finals against the Suns - Was going to OSU - after the game, hopped in a car to get up to the Hillsboro airport to welcome home the team. 10,000 people out there-it was AWESOME!

Re: Blazer Roll Call Fan since late 90's My favorite current player would have to be Outlaw, I think it was his first or second year but when he both dunked on Yao Ming and then blocked Yao's own dunk attempt it cemented him into that spot. All time player would have to be Sabonis Favorite moment would be Winning the draft lottery. Me and my dorm mates were crammed into one tiny little room and we went absolutely berserk, things were broken.
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? Started listening to games on the radio in the late 80s and got hooked. Who is your current favorite player? Roy is a joy to watch. Still have a special place in my heart for Sheed. Who is your All Time favorite player? First favorite was Kersey. Later my favorites were Pippen, Sabonis and Sheed. What was your favorite moment? Probably Pippen's big 3 vs Utah
Re: Blazer Roll Call -- How long have you been a fan? Moved to Portland from NYC in 1996. Was not a fan of a team before, but a fan of several players, Hakeem among them. Found out the Rockets were going to play the Blazers and bought a ticket to the game. Still love Hakeem - but sitting in the crowd with the entire arena going crazy for the Blazers it was hard to stay neutral... - so I guess 1996. -- Who is your current favorite player? Roy probably - but I appreciate most of them and I am really excited to see what Greg, Rudy and Jerryd can do. -- Who is your All Time favorite player? Hard to say. I loved Hakeem. I loved Barkley, but Roy is just as high I guess. -- What was your favorite moment? Basketball related? It has not happened yet, but it's coming...

Re: Blazer Roll Call I ignore most BBF threads for a few weeks and everybody leaves! And everyone who remained is arguing. I'm pretty low profile usually, but I've got to answer roll call. How long have you been a fan? Since around 1980. My earliest memory is the Billy Ray Bates buzzer-beater. Who is your current favorite player? Brandon Roy. He's from my alma mater, I rooted for the team to get him in the draft, was thrilled that night and ever since. Yay for KP. Who is your All Time favorite player? That's so tough, there's so many. Hrm, I'll pick a couple. Let's say... Porter, Cliffy, Paxson, Arvydas, and Brandon. What was your favorite moment? From the locker room after the 1990 Western Conference Finals... Portland had just finished playing a game every-other-day for a month, they're tiredly celebrating, and there's an interview in the locker room: CBS: "Chicago and Detroit are playing tomorrow, they are very different teams, who would you rather play---" Adelman (Interrupting): "We don't care!", then nicely finishes the interview and goes back to celebrating.
How long have you been a fan?I moved to Portland (from NC) in 1976 Who is your current favorite player?Duncan Who is your All Time favorite player?probably Clyde What was your favorite moment? I can't list just one favorite hoops moment. The Blazer championship season was amazing. Clyde effortlessly flying over a Memphis State guard (Andre Turner?) who was braced to take a charge, incredible. Winning the Oden lotto had me screaming, jumping up and down, and turning on my car to honk the horn while visiting non-hoops friends who thought I was btw... hi everyone STOMP
