    And seeing Bill Russel there was just so special. It shows how much fellow players from all eras loved and respected Lucas.

    Dr. Jack was great to listen too as well, also really enjoyed Nate's story about him being Big Luke's Rook

    I wasn't even alive when the Blazers won the title, but hearing everyone speak of Luke, it gave me a greater appreciation for the person and man he was on and off the court. My mom had season tix back in '77, and always raved about him when I was a kid, learning to be a fan. And I'm sure Luke will be throwing some elbows along the way to heaven.

    Yeah, I always thought of Brickowski as that dirty player who got underneath everyone's skin in Seattle. But I guess he lives in the Portland area, and he was definitely one of the highlights for me yesterday. Great storyteller, and pretty good stuff.

    He married a Portland gal (Putnam high school actually) and works with the Blazers as a security liason. Very cool guy. Used to bullshit with him a lot at Blazer games.
