Immortality
We've had a noticeable uptick of internet traffic all week, and when we checked to see where it was coming from, we discovered that hundreds of folks were arriving on this blog looking for photos of former Blazers center Sam Bowie. We scrambled around to see why that might be -- did he die? -- but then we realized the reason: Last night was the NBA draft, and Bowie's widely regarded as the worst draft pick of all time. The Blazers could have had Michael Jordan instead.
A few years from now, when Kevin Durant has locked in his place in the Basketball Hall of Fame, they'll probably be looking for photos of Greg Oden. I hope they don't find those photos.

At least one aspect of Oden's career will be long.

Speaking of former Trail Blazers, I was walking along the Eastbank Esplanade yesterday when I lingered at the Kevin Duckworth dock on the river. (Apparently he liked to fish there.) It seemed like a nice tribute to a well-liked Blazer who died too young.
Then I noticed the odor of raw sewage floating in the river.

People forget.. The Bowie pick made the finals before the Jordan pick did. Drexler was amazing.
I went with Oden, too. I was wrong.
