This past Media Day, I was fortunate enough to be able to sit down and interview the Trail Blazers and Head Coach Terry Stotts ... But these aren't your average, run-of-the-mill basketball questions. Without further ado, here is the next installment of "On The Clock" with
LaMarcus Aldridge.
What's your favorite place to eat in Portland?
LaMarcus Aldridge: Henry's for a chill night.
What's your least favorite food?
LA: Sushi
The snack food you can't live without is...
LA: Fresh Fruit, Pineapples, Oranges (
Ed Note: This one kind of stumped LA as I got the feeling he doesn't really snack as he asked if fruit was a suitable answer.)
If you didn't attend Texas, where would you have played college basketball at?
LA:North Carolina (
Ed Note: LaMarcus said one reason for UNC were those Carolina blue uniforms.)
What's your favorite pair of Jordan's?
LA: White And Black Space Jams
Who is the one former NBA Legend you would love to match up with 1-on-1?
LA: Bill Russell
If you weren't in the NBA, what sport would you play and what position?
LA: Bowling (
Ed Note: It's not every day you see professional seven-footers at the bowling alley.)
Can you take Chris Paul?
LA: Yes! (
Ed Note: Paul is one of the best bowlers in the NBA, but LA says he carries a 170 average and would be able to knock him off.)
What was your most memorable Halloween costume you've ever worn?
LA: I never dressed up. Just grabbed a pillow case and went out asking for candy.
What's your favorite Friday movie?
LA: Next Friday
Smokey or Dey-Dey?
LA: Dey-Dey
Who is your favorite character on Martin?
LA: Martin
Who is your favorite character on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
LA: Will Smith
What's currently being played on your iPod?
LA: New Rick Ross (
Ed Note: LA says that Ross is the best right now, hence the follow up question...)
Who is your favorite artist of All-Time?
LA: Jay-Z
Who is winning the Super Bowl this year?
LA: Cowboys!(
Ed Note: I knew LA was going to say Dallas, because he's a life-long fan and from the Dallas area, so I had to get an unbiased answer out of him...)
Besides Dallas?
LA: If not Dallas, the 49ers look good and my homeboy [Michael Crabtree] plays for them. (
Ed Note: Nice call, LA! They haven't won anything yet, but predicting the NFC Champs? Nicely done. )
