Shareef calls it quits

Good luck to the guy in whatever he does.

I see him more as a player for those Vancouver teams, and then bounced around till he called it quits.

oh sorry.

That would be deserved, and he will have something to do with his skills. He was a good player, yet not a star, and that one All-Star appearance was rather the exception. The wear-and-tear on his knee prevented an even better career since he missed 20 games per year on average if you count all season. As for his teams, I always considered him a player for the Grizzlies (he might have been their first franchise player) or the Hawks, not a Blazer. But he also wasn’t a bad kid for the Blazers, and while not necessarily deserving a “special place in Blazer history” he shouldn’t be remembered negatively. So I didn’t vote for any of the above choices.

But I don’t consider him a Blazer. We were just kind of a train stop for him, he was supposed to be traded a lot sooner. I do remember him winning that game for us vs. the Celtics. It was tough times.

More than Von Wafer (who?), Taurean Green or McLovin.

We consider James Jones a Blazer and he played significantly fewer games than S.A-R.

I am sad to see that he had to call it a career due to injury. He was always one of my favorite NBA players. I don’t really consider him a Blazer though. His best years were as a Griz and Hawk.

Question: Do you think Aldridge will have a better career?
I think he will have a very similar career stats wise. Hopefully LaMarcus won’t have to spend his entire career on terrible to mediocre teams.

Steak and eggs covered in cheddar cheese. I kept an eye on him to make sure he didn’t eat no swine.

Nice guy, liked him and his play while he was here, but he’s not someone who’ll I remember for his time here as a Blazer.

And he had that line-drive jumper. But he was a good NBA player, and reportedly a super-nice guy.

which means I liked him. He was a good fill in, like James Jones.
