Big Mo is back!!

I got home from work, checked the normal sites, ESPN, O-live, Bedge, to name a few. Saw on O-live that Mo was coming back!

For me, we may have never had a better PF in our history. My top 3 all time blazer PFs are Mo #1, Buck #1a, and Brian Grant #3. Mo as a player he was tough as nails, underrated, and allways dependable. His health was a concern normally, but when on the court, especially in his ABA and Blazer years he was a beast. There is this center, i forget his name.....he is considered a bit of a beast himself......its very early for that guy but allready his health is in question.....i bet that center, man i forget his name....but i bet that center and Big Mo could totally relate on a few levels when it comes to those types of things. If i had my way.......Oden!! i remebered! Oden and Luke would hang out so that Oden could soke up some of that experience plus also maybe, in a perfect world Mo could teach Oden some of those fundamental type things. Whats that you say? Mo Lucas is coming back to be the Blazers big man coach? My will, be done!!!! My next "in a perfect world" is Hugh Hefner dieing and leaving everything to me in his will.

I am stoked to have Luke back, IMO he may be the best big man coach in the league for his situation. His record is solid, In his 14 year career (2 in the ABA, 12 in the NBA), Lucas scored 14,857 points, 9,306 rebounds, and was a 5 time All-Star (1 ABA, 4 NBA). He was named to the 1978 All-NBA-Defense First team, the 1978 All-NBA Second team, and the 1979 All-NBA-Defense Second team. Check this link out: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/lucasma01.html and note the first 10 years in the league and imagine Oden with stats around those. Please understand i dont think Oden would mirror these but i think we could trade a few points for a few blocks and be pretty close.

Lucas's roots in oregon run deep, The Portland Trail Blazers retired his jersey number, 20, in a ceremony on November 4, 1988. Lucas was hired by the team as an assistant coach under Mike Schuler and Rick Adelman during the 1988-89 season. In 2005, Lucas rejoined the Trail Blazers as an assistant coach under Nate McMillan.  Current Los Angeles Lakers forward Luke Walton, son of Lucas' Portland teammate Bill Walton, is named after him. I personally think its great to have Mo back where he belongs and Oden will only prosper from him being back. Welcome back Big Mo!
