    Agree or disagree with what exactly? I guess that's somebody's ranking of importance, so I'm not sure why the state that produced Walton (the linchpin of the Blazers only championship team) is below Tejas, but sure whatever.

    I'd say California is the "winner" of this derby.

    Did anyone else notice that Andre Miller is so bad ass, he's mentioned twice?

    That Texas has the strongest lineage of Trail Blazers based on two players. California has given us Walton, Dame, and a bunch of other notable players. Good argument for either.

    One was a guy who never wanted to be here, and another who barely acknowledges that he played here.

    At least a California (for all his warts) got the team a title.

    California and Pennsylvania both have stronger lineages.

    I also noticed Miller on twice. Clearly California. Bet Dame is an A's fan.

    Should Paul Allen be included in Washington lineage?

    I wish the Blazers pedigree was state of the art.

    They have spent most of their history in the state of anticipation.

    Lately they are trending more towards the state of uncertainty.

    Sadly at the present, they are stuck in the state of denial.

    I would add some of the coaches to that PA list starting with Jack Ramsey.

    It would be interesting to do this with countries other than the US of A.

    Australia
    Patty Mills
    Luke Schenscher
    CJ Bruton
    Chris Anstey
    Rick Brunson
