While it certainly can’t make up for the now two-month hiatus without Portland Trail Blazers basketball, the evolution of social media debates and trends have worked to fill the void. The mimetic trend for this week has centered around fans posting pictures of NBA teams’ vintage logos, and asking: “When you see this logo, which player comes to mind first?”
Thus far, I’ve drawn the misfortune of seeing: the old P-shaped Indiana Pacers logo, or the double-blue and red Detroit Pistons horse, two logos that rekindled my PTSD that came with seeing games that ended with 79-61 final scores on the family DVR, or watching helplessly as they eliminated childhood idol Allen Iverson year-after-year in the postseason.
