@diandraann I think the boomer fans turned against them. My dad was calling them thugs and using the jail blazers media label

As a kid who was a die hard Trail Blazers fan, and lived through this era, I feel like the fans didn’t actually turn on this team as a whole? We liked them. I think the media turned on them and that’s the perception that followed. Can’t WAIT for this.

UNTOLD: JAIL BLAZERS premieres April 14. In the early 2000s, the Portland Trail Blazers were stacked with talent—and surrounded by controversy. Through firsthand stories from Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, and Bonzi Wells, this is an unfiltered look at a team caught between brilliance and notoriety—and the media storm that followed.

@blazerbanter 100% This is the team I love more than any other. I have no doubt that boomers were booing them when they returned to Portland, but I never did.

One thing I’m worried we will not get in this is the perspective of kids who grew up in the area at this time and what they thought.
Sheed had a universal approval rating with younger Blazers fans at that era. My friends at playground would literally pretend to be him.

As Doc Rivers put the Bucks through his 25th training camp as a head coach, I kept wondering why he's still putting himself through this.
Today, at @TheAthletic, he helped me try to understand why: nytimes.com/athletic/58327…

@jeffjarvis I didn't live through it, but I have read about it. LBJ dropped out because he didn't want to be assassinated like JFK. Chicago was a disaster because Eugene McCarthy was denied the nomination by the establishment and the reaction to this was met with violent force.

I am old enough to be having terrible flashbacks to 1968. I was a naive teenager among those who marched against Lyndon Johnson over Vietnam. Johnson had given us civil rights law but was hounded from the ticket, a tragic character. The result: the Chicago convention disaster, Richard Nixon, his Southern strategy, leading to civil war today. The short-sighted rush to push Joe Biden out is filled with such peril. And if Kamala Harris and Black voters are in turn bypassed, we lose the election and everything for generations. We lose democracy. Stop. Think.

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
