The Oklahoma City Thunder and Raymond Felton will journey to Portland to start their playoff series against the Blazers on Sunday. For Felton, he will return to his former home court with boos echoing in the background. In the aftermath of a lengthy labor negotiation, Felton posted career-lows in his single lockout-shortened season with the Blazers. His excess weight combined with his confrontational attitude to make him one of the bigger villains in Portland sports history.
Prior to his return, The Athletic’s Brett Dawson spoke with Felton about his tenure with the Blazers.
