Bill Walton documentary. Very well done, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I know he rubs some folks the wrong way but I appreciate his outlook on life.

One of the best 30 for 30 of all time. I’m biased but the Walton led blazers of the mid 70’s was the best basketball of all time. Anybody who can take 4 other guys who should be playing rec ball at the YMCA and win a championship is an all time great

Makes me cringe when I go to a Blazers game. |

Makes me cringe when I go to a Blazers game. I used that argument with my HS AD to get my jersey retired. I thought I made an eloquent and detailed comparison. After I was finished, he said “Who are you again?” |

Lucas, Hollins, Gross, Davis, Gilliam and Twardzik all had long, productive ABA/NBA careers. |

I’ll let you guys argue about that. I literally couldn’t care less about retired jerseys. I’ve never really understood the point of it. |

I know you can't help yourself though. I was responding to the poster who said the 77 Blazers were Walton and a bunch of YMCA players. BTW I started this F-ing thread so with all due respect, go pound sand. |
