Portland Trail Blazers founder and Oregon sports and entertainment entrepreneur Harry Glickman leaves behind a tremendous legacy.
The Portland Trail Blazers community is devastated by the death of the legendary founder Harry Glickman. The spearhead behind bringing professional sports to Oregon and the architect of the 1977 world champion team truly made his mark.
A local Portlander, he graduated from Lincoln High School in 1941 with the hopes of pursuing a career in journalism. He was admitted to the University of Oregon and quickly became the campus’ correspondent to the Oregonian.
