Hey, me too! Of course, I was about 10 at the peak of Blazer mania. (I grew up in and am now back in Portland.) Oh, those were good days. It was the Isaiah Rider regime that caused me to desert my Blazer (and NBA) fandom, and I have yet to return.
Kevin's death is quite sad. He has stayed involved in the community since his retirement from the league and he will be missed. Knowing how heavy he had become, I have to think that it was a heart ailment that brought his life to an early end. Quite a shame.
