Sand dunes to difference maker: Shabazz Napier emerges for Trail Blazers

I'm out in Oregon now. If you're headed this way, bring your raincoat. Oh, and the highways are miserable.

I can vouch for that. I lived outside of Portland in Gresham. It does rain. I recall being sick like never before in my life. However one Xmas day it was 70 degrees and I was washing my car.

Five inches? That is absurd.

I worked out for a summer between Junior and Senior years of high school, in hopes of making the starting lineup. I managed to improve my vertical by damn near a half inch.

I went from first big off the bench as a junior to rarely playing a meaningful minute as a senior.

Good times.

My entire vertical is damn near a half inch. Rock on!

Looks like, at the very least, a KO type of NBA career awaits him.

A huge part of my early fandom.

So Portland started the game going down 16-0 vs. the 76's. Then Shabazz scores the first 7 points for the Blazers to get them off the snide. 13 pts 3 rb 4 assists 2 steals The Blazer fans love him.
