link

Thanks for the link Sabonis4ever. I’m not that computer savvy so I don’t know how you do that. but thanks dude.

Ok I copied your link, now it works. It must not allow links from myspace or something right? go blaze!!!

Little correction: the music seems to be croatian, definitively it´s not Spanish.

I guess I didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics. I heard " blah blah blah a ti "and just assumed it was spanish.

who was the better BLAZER ?
As an overall player, and though I wouldn’t agree, some could argue Drazen was better than Strickland, but as a blazer ? Petrovic played so little in Portland, I don’t understand how he could receive more votes than the twirl… Ah…. only 22 votes until now, it may not be representative of BE’s readers…

But he put up decent numbers in a four year career in Portland after replacing Terry Porter (I think that is the main reason he isn’t held in too high of regard).
Drazen was a great shooter, but he was buried on the bench behind Drexler, Porter, Danny Young, and Danny Ainge, so he never really got a chance. Then he went to the press and demanded a trade, to which the Blazers obliged.

So ends today’s history lesson.

to never be an All-Star.

Rod would have gotten away with that in todays game.

and might well have been the better player had he not died…

but Strickland had by far the better career as a Trail Blazer.

It’s kinda like asking who was the better Blazer—Jerome Kersey, or Scottie Pippen? No doubt that Pip (a first-ballot HOFer when he is eligible) is a far better overall player than Jerome; but Jerome’s Blazer career was probably more meaningful then the couple of years Scottie spent here in the twilight of his career.

With Pippen, we got to the WCF, where Pippen was punked by Kobe.
With Kersey, we got to the NBA Finals twice—in one of which, Kersey was punked…by Pippen.
