    Who could eat more donuts? 100 Raymond Felton’s, or 150 Rasheed Wallace’s?

    My opinion: Not Felton’s fault our FO brought him here, or that he wasn’t the GOAT. Basketball fans straight up bullied this guy. Wasn’t even just Blazer fans, was like it was the running joke about him around the league. Kind of makes you wonder how much he was actually putting in work when he was in the NBA compared to now.

    When you say putting in work do you mean time at restaurants??? @THE HCP is saying Felton is the most obese he's ever been.

    On another note the reason why we didn't like him when he was here and why he was derided by the entire basketball ecosystem is because the guy was never in shape and especially once he got here, played with no effort.

    I know you guys don’t care normally, but he really is a cool guy. I always rooted for him.

    Sheed was best player in G7 WCF. Sabonis was the choke artist. Also- the reason Sheed threw a towel at Sabonis is because he flopped and elbowed Sheed in the head. Sheed is a top 5 Blazer all time.

    Eh. Kind of a weak point. That's been used to excuse people from doing a lot of really awful things. "Yeah, he's horrible to mostly everyone. But he's always good to me. I (therefore) like him."

    I just don't get people that fall all over themselves loving Rasheed Wallace. He was a good/very good player with immense talent whose play showed flashes but barely ever came close to the massive potential.

    With all the raw ability he had, he shot less than 47% from the floor for his career, averaged 20 ppg once, never pulled more than 8.2 boards per game in a season, and you never knew what might send him on a tirade that made himself get tossed from the game. Yet, there still are some people here that think he was amazing.

    Sheed's teammates loved him. Seriously they all loved him.

    Sheed got a bad rap because he knew the refs were crooked, and the cover-up demanded a scapegoat.

    If stats are all you go by then maybe he seems underwhelming, but using stats also means Russell Westbrook is one of the greatest of all time. You know, stat-wise.

    We know stats don't tell the story is what I'm saying. During Sheed's most successful years he was surrounded by the kind of talent you don't see every day. And the refs tossing him from games were literally crooked and fixing games at the time, so I'd say there are extenuating circumstances.

    I always liked Sheed though, so I'm biased.

    Stats aren't the only thing I go by, but they reinforce what I saw. And I don't agree about the extenuating circumstances argument; were that true, he wouldn't be the poster child for Ts and ejections. And throwing the towel on Sabonis' face and acting petulant with the media just reinforces the kind of behavior that got him all the technicals. He couldn't control his emotions.

    If it was just one of those things, but it isn't. It's all those things.

    And I'm a Pennsylvania guy like Wallace. If anything, I'd want to see a guy from my home state leading my favorite team. I have to call it like I see it, though.

    The problem with Sheed was that Portland was determined to make him the #1 option and Sheed doesn't want to be the #1 option. He was perfectly happy in Detroit where he was like... 4th option.

    Let the Yanger have his thread all to himself.
