For all of us fans in Rip City, the question of “Why do you love the Blazers?” may seem like an easy answer. Everyone has their reasons, but the fact that it is the Pacific Northwest’s only basketball team has made the franchise a staple in many homes.
One aspect that has been true over the years, has been Rip City’s love for their players. Most of their stars, even LaMarcus Aldridge when he donned the pin wheel, were the biggest celebrities of the city.
Today in The Player’s Tribune, 3J himself penned a letter to Portland thanking them for being the best fans in the NBA.
