In a “perfect world”
@Dame_Lillard
I (selfishly) hoped to see you in

colors. Remember when you & I discussed introducing you as “The Letter O”? It has been such an honor for years. I won’t get to do that again this season. So, if you will, one more time…

24 years ago TODAY I auditioned for

PA gig. We played the Spurs. We won. So did I, as I was lucky enough to get it. God willing, the first home game of 2020 will be game no. 1,000 for me. Thank you for being with me on this incredible journey.

RIP Tigard Cinema. Lots of fun memories there with my kids growing up: standing outside in the mist when line snaked around the building for premiere of

Eight yrs ago my family met Bob Barker at Forest Lawn, Hollywood. We visited my mom's gravesite, Bob was at his wife Dorothy's. He treated us like family. He told us his weekly visits to her filled his soul. One of the great broadcasters and persons.

Hey,

A week ago I told everyone
@trailblazers
@ModaCenter
“l’ll see you in a week!” We were supposed to be doing *this* in just a few hours (photo) but it was not to be. 😢 I’ll be missing and thinking of you. ‘Til next season.

always.
So...5 weeks + out of surgery I rolled the dice and decided to take on and walk the Sunriver Pacific Crest Sports Fest 5k. Within 100 yards I was at the end of pack....😞
No one gets stopped for outdated tags anymore. But 2015 is just flaunting it. The rest of us keep paying on time. There ought to be a law….
#frustrating
It as an absolute pleasure to say your name inside
@ModaCenter
during introductions. Right up there as one of my favs. Was a great

era. See you soon, ok?
In the words of TB12, you only get one big, emotional retirement… so, on that note…I’m thankful for all the memories, family and friends I made throughout my career. It was one hell of a ride and I enjoyed every min! 12
Our Blazers Top 100 takes a slight detour at 71 to honor a figurehead who’s been here longer than anyone else and a bunch of people who make every home game more enjoyable.

Back in LA studio to record my contribution to NBA2K25! That and to see Shohei Ohtani blast his first

BREAKING NEWS: Nearly a year after gruesome leg injury, Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic tells Yahoo Sports he will make his season debut March 15 against the Houston Rockets: “It’s time.”
Heading to Blazers game it was 41 degrees in Tigard. I-5 was a breeze. At Terwilliger my car’s thermometer dropped to 32 and downtown still looks like Narnia. Keep an eye on the temp while driving. Adjust accordingly. See you at Moda.
