Rent free doesn’t do this justice

I went to my first NBA game in over 30 years last weekend against the Bulls.
So fucking boring, but, at least, there was plenty of beer.
-
I watched about half of the Timbermutts and Grizzle last week. That was the most I've watched since probably the '21-'22 season.
I used to kind of follow the Blazers, but their social media is run by some SJW lesbian or soy boy apparently. NBA sucks. NFL is 3/4 of the way there.

The NBA will never reach peak 80’s basketball and once Jordan retired it dropped off a cliff. Never missed a big regular season game in the 80s. Jordan, Magic and Bird carried the league for nearly 17 years. I stopped watching everything but the playoffs but one and done is big problem. Care less about the NBA, I miss ncaa hoops without the 3 year college stars. F the nba, and last attended watching the Sonics in the Atlanta Hawks new arena in 2000. I don’t even mind the foreign players, aau and the dirty money has also hurt the college game and college football is going down the same path. I expect in 5+ years I will be a fringe football fan mostly because of my favorite childhood team and the as a student many decades in the past. Money corrupts everything. 😡

The best thing about going to the Moda is that you get to upset guys like Mike. Well not Mike. But guys like him that aren't freeloaders and are actually paying to be there.
A Forever Trophy t-shirt doing a few laps around the concourse double fisting some Widmer hefs lasts fucking YEARS in their heads. Bonus points for getting a bunch of dirty looks from quooks at Dr Jacks before they let people in.
-
Yeah but do they play a song from an overrated horrifically dated movie and people dance at the end of the third quarter?
-
The Blazers have the best team theme song in all of professional sports. Here's this version that features the best Blazer ever, a Husky:
-
well in fairness, you linked the second best blazer song ever made

Love Roy obviously but healthy Bill Walton 70s including UCLA, he was a beast similar to Jabbar but Haie wasn’t conceived so it’s a generational thing.
I’d definitely take a healthy Roy over Clyde at the pro level do to his all around game. Can’t remember the exact year 81/82ish ncaa championship was great drama. Phi slama jama era vs Jimmy V. Great memories playing pick up games in Hec Ed many moons ago. Even remember playing at Greenlake pre “brother’s at greenlake”
If our domestic players were still honing their skills while being under the tutelage of great coaches the nba would be a much better product and most of the recent mvps wouldn’t be foreign born. I imagine sooner rather than later the USA will medal but Gold will be less than 50% every 4 years. Shit we wouldn’t sniff the medal round with ncaa players.Sorry @HuskyJW, couldn’t make it past a minute on your video clip. TLDL ha;)

I liked Roy very much. One of my favorite to watch play through all of those years. Drexler never captured my heart. I was a Porter guy.
Drexler was better than Roy and it’s not even close.
-
If it was USA versus Europe in the Olympics, we'd be lucky to win half.
When AAU wasn't a sewer and dudes actually went to college three or four years, we dominated.
-
I’m so old I’ve been to SD Clippers vs Lakers game in the SD Sports Arena!
-
I saw Spencer Haywood at the Seattle Center Coliseum
Took my brand new stepson and his Air Jordan Christmas present to see Mike in his rookie or second year against the Sonics
40 years on and I still get gratitude for the kicks. I like to call them kicks.
-
Doesn't it seem that kicks just keep getting harder to find?
-
I got my kicks on Route 66
My wife buys me skeeter type old man kicks that slip on
-
Those kicks changed a lot of lives. Mine included.
-
My kids wears retro Jordans.
We went the Nike employee store recently with all its shitty Duck gear and its crazy the amount of vintage Jordan kicks options out there.
-
Wear a UW hat in McKnight arena (when UW isn't playing) and then pop off!!
-
When did you go to the employee store? I’ve been several times in the last couple of years and there ain’t no Duck stuff. Years past it was packed. But that’s not the case anymore when I’ve gone. A couple of crap t-shirts at the most.
They do carry lots of Jordan’s though. That I can attest too. My eldest b lines it over there.
-
A few weekends ago. Plenty of Duck shoes, jerseys, etc.
Also of note, Sabrina now has her own line of apparel which made my wife very happy.

I believe it was year two in the Kingdom, I took my kid brother and young daughter. My memory might be off but wasn’t Jordon out due to injury the 2nd half of his rookie year? I’m 100% fairly sure ha, the first time I saw him live was the kingdom either year 1 or 2 with family.
Old man @RaceBannon, *skechers and they are my go to tennis shoes. The new slip in’s suck if you’re a walker on slopes. Most of my Sonic games were at Seattle Center also, I was a LA sports fan before Seattle had professional teams. Ditched the Rams when they left LA, switched to the Sonics day 1 but stayed a fringe fan when they played Bird Celtics. Magic fan but they always crushed our Sonics dreams in the early 80s and DJ eventually left for Boston.

Imagine the footwear options if you moved back to Temecula.
-
Sure
-
Sure what? Ru implying what I wrote isn’t true? I’ve got receipts fucko, I guess you’re bent out of shape with the Fanboy tag. I enjoy your humor and your nutjob duck fan Mr Boring Bob.
You can do better, I’ve read your occasional humor. Sure gets a 1/10 from the judges butter cup.
-
No idea what you’re talking about. I’m sure you get that a lot.
-
He’s bent confirmed and a 4/10 from the judges. You’re dismissed “Hey Mikey, he likes it.” hh fanboy

-
I’m too old to figure this out, help me out pal. My memory isn’t good with movies?
I promise not to refer to you as Race’s Fanboy anymore, scouts honor. I was a proud Boy Scout as a youth in the 60s. Boy Scouts probably weren’t cool in your youth. If you're an Eagle Scout 👍🏻

Looks like Hunter S Thompson with Bill Murray
-
Close
Bill Murray as HST in Where the Buffalo Roam.
But that’s beside the point
