    Just really quickly off the top of my head....

    1.) Rasheed Wallace     - While 'Sheed was with the Blazers I was in middle/high school, so every time he blew up and called the officiating crap like it was, it was the favorite moment of the game!

    2.) Arvydas Sabonis - Hands down the coolest moves ever from a center with the no-look, behind the back passes, and if you are a true Blazers fan you must hate the Lakers... Sabonis could handle Shaq and did!

    3.) Scottie Pipen - It was one of the coolest things in the world to me that Portland got Pipen. He just seemed like a cool guy. It was only a short time after Pipen behind Jordan cemented themselves in baskball history during the 90's... it was awesome to have him and he rocked!

    4.) Cylde Drexler - Greatest Blazer of all time.....as of right now. Plus a killer rhyming nickname what more can you say?

    5.) Brandon Roy     - It's Roy baby! I sure hope the team, the powers to be, and Brandon make Portland his only NBA home. At this rate he is easily becoming a Blazer legend...

    I think we came back 0-2 to beat Philly in 6 games.

    After a long MAX ride home, my Top 5 actually came quicker than I thought.

    1. Clyde Drexler

      2. He was the main reason I played basketball as a kid and why I became such a huge fan. The effortless moves through the air and big-play dunks are what drew me to Clyde more so than anyone else in Blazers history. It also didn't hurt that he was always super nice everytime I met him.

    2. Travis Outlaw

      3. A few years ago, Travis would have never cracked this list, but I got the opportunity to meet him after a game in the 07-08 season. We had just got beat handily by the Magic, but he was still in good spirits to the group who was meeting him. I love his clutch play and he doesn't disappoint when he goes hard to the rim either.

    3. Jerome Kersey

      4. Mercy Mercy Jerome Kersey. There simply wasn't a better finisher on the fast break in the history of the Trail Blazers. I still get chills watching old highlights of TP and Clyde feeding him for the thunderous dunk in traffic. I guess I have a soft spot for high-flyers.

    4. Terry Porter

      5. The best point guard in Trail Blazers history. He and Clyde were so much fun to watch play off of each other. I loved it when he would just pull-up from 3 on the break or whenever an launch those bombs from downtown.

    5. Greg Oden

      6. Although he hasn't played much due to injuries in his 1st 3 seasons, when he is healthy and rolling, it's hard to beat watching him play. I loved it when he would block a shot on one end, run the floor, and end up with an alley-oop jam. If there is anything more exciting than a big-time dunk, it is a game-changing block, which he provided quite often. Greg could be higher on this list when it is all said and done.

    Honorable Mention:
    Rasheed Wallace, LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Jerryd Bayless, Buck Williams, Kevin Duckworth, Scottie Pippen

    I must add that I became a fan in 1990 at the age of 5, so if any Blazer pre-dated my fandom, I really never got to see them play, so its hard for me to put them up there in my lists of all-time favorites.

    1- Arvydas Sabonis - The best center the Blazers have ever had period. He was just amazing and a joy to watch play the game. Just wish we could have gotten him when we first drafted him.

    2- Clyde Drexler - Like his nickname he just seemed to glide across the basketball court. Great knack for getting to the basket with or without the ball. Overall just a great player.

    3- Buck Williams - Should have been given the nickname The Rock. Because that's what he was for this team. Did everything ever asked of him 100% and did it with class and grace.

    4- Jerome Kersey - Mercy, mercy it's Jerome Kersey. How many times did we hear that phrase uttered over his career with the Blazers? Another player who just worked every game and every play.

    5- Cliff Robinson - Might not have been one of the best players we had but he was much loved. We got to witness him going from that awkward kid into a solid journeyman. Also thanks for making an appearance at my Bachelor party made my night!

    Honorable Mentions(no particular order): Terry Porter, Brian Grant, Aaron Mckie, Rasheed Wallace, Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge and Rudy Fernandez.

    Clyde Drexler: he's the main reason I'm a Blazers fan. Terry Porter: the first Blazers game I saw, versus Celtics I remember, he played great...and never stopped for his entire career. Arvidas Sabonis: His greatness is that he has spent his career in the NBA without knees... Rasheed Wallace: Don't ask him to lead the team, and he'll be the best...one of a kind... Scottie Pippen: I've never considered Pippen like a "real" Blazer (and surely he thinks the same...) but the last great seasons we had, was with his defense and his leadership so... Hi Everybody and sorry for my poor english...I'll try to improve...

    I should have put this in the original message, but you can always rank your top 20 Trail Blazers of All-Time by using the Player Ranker. It's not really for your favorites because not every player is listed, but more so of who you think are the 20 best Blazers of All-Time, but that could be another question for another day.

    First need is a centre. And no one will take ten and 13 for 4th or 5th. After like the 10th pick the talent off is huge.
