My All Time All NBA/ABA Team

C- Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone

PG- Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald, Terry Porter

SG- Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, Pete Maravich

PF- Elvin Hayes, Elgin Baylor

SF- Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins

Coach - Jack Ramsay


I would put this team up against any 12 players and coach that has played professionally. Yes, my Blazer fandom makes me a little biased, but I don't think any team could beat these guys in a series.

My All Time LA/ Minneapolis Lakers team

First of all - I hate the Lakers. Any real Blazers fan has a large disdain for the purple and gold as they are our biggest rivals. Yes, they have talented players in the past and all that, but that doesn't matter. They suck, plain and simple, because they are the Lakers. BEAT LA!

C- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain
PG - Magic Johnson, Norm Nixon
SG- Kobe Bryant, Gail Goodrich
PF- Elgin Baylor, Vern Mikkelsen
SF- Jerry West, James Worthy

Coach - Pat Riley

(Just missed the cut: Jamal Wilkes, Happy Hairston, Byron Scott)

Lakers with Blazers ties: (34) Too Many. Why would these guys sell their soul? Sadly, some of my favorite Blazers are on this list.

My All Time Utah Jazz Team

One word for the Jazz - gross. Could not consider Mark Eaton or Greg Ostertag due to overwhelming grossness. Chose Truck Robinson though he was only on the team 2 years. Cool name - all-star - 14.9 rebounds and 23.2 points. Chose him over Jeff Hornacek for last person on the roster.
