It all started innocently enough. Geoffrey Arnold, a sports reporter at the Oregonian newspaper, was milling around the tunnel inside the Moda Center ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors when none other than Stephen Curry approached.
“Can I borrow you?” Curry asked.
Arnold, 60, has worked at the Oregonian for 27 years. He started out on high school sports and was once a Blazers beat writer during the heyday of Rasheed Wallace. Today, he covers the Seattle Seahawks and the NFL for the paper, but with the Blazers making a deep playoff run it was all hands on deck for the sports department.
