When Walton was talking about the opening tip next year, I did get goosebumps. Wow!

You have to think Walton really likes hanging out with Oden, just the way they interact. I couldn't think of a better mentor for his game offensively than Walton, who would have won a championship with our team this year with the way he played. If he just gives Oden a tip or two that he can follow on outlet passes, how to block passes and control the deflection, and how to shoot that hook shot....

Damn. Goosebumps again.

I liked how Greg seemed so eager to pick Walton's brain. He was actually listening closely to Bill's advice. He seems like a pretty grounded guy to me.

Walton always says great things about
Portland, but when the Blazers were a
losing team he has said some pretty
bad things about the team, but always
good things about the city and the fans.

I think he told Oden some good advice
which was nice and looking at Oden when
Walton was talking.. .you could tell that
kid wants to learn, it was oozing from him.

Ditto....hearing about how he is taking his rehab out on the weight room, Walton describe opening night and watching how intently young Greg was listening, damn! :lift:

Fantastic video.

That's a really cool video. Definitely something that'll give you goosebumps as a Blazer fan.

Nice video! Other teams in the nba are lucky that Oden had a season out because for the next 15 years, they won't beat us. :clap:

its scary to see what a smaller market team is going to do to the whole NBA in the near future. I think you will have more like a Spurs run the past 10 years, but win more. Damn, it sucks for us who are not portland fans, but I love watching the kids grow.

Not a Portland fan, eh? That sounds like a very correctable personal problem. I would suggest looking to your right, noticing the bandwagon, and jumping on with both feet
