Brandon Roy . . . had his knees been healthy, he would have surpassed the greats in Clyde Drexler and Damian Lilliard and possibly have brought championship to Portland. He was a class act!

Glide by a good bit, runner up is a tougher call

Walton not just for the championship but he set the culture for “Blazer basketball” that lasted decades! Prior to Walton it was Petrie and Wicks gunning. Then we got to start seeing basketball the team way—much more fun and in line with the PNW ethic.

In a vacuum Dame Dolla is our best ever, single-handedly carrying this team for a decade. There’s really no debating that. Clyde? Dame would put up twice as many as MJ did that day and if they doubled him he’d have had the team around him to punish them for it. Walton/Roy? The best ability is availability, everything else comes second. Fact: you can’t score, pass or defend in street clothes from the bench.

Season ticket holder since day 1. It’s a tie, but I voted for Clyde. Walton is the other. He was an all time best player for almost 2 years. Lillard is a distant third. Roy would have been one of the greats had his career not been cut short. All time team is Walton, Lucas, Roy, Lillard, and Hollins who was also cut short by injuries.

Clyde is the best blazers player ever. To suggest another name is like when people try to say LeBron or any other player was better than Jordan. Just makes them look ridiculous.

I saw the very first Blazer game. Ive seen every Blazer player since. The best two players I ever saw were Bill and Brandon. I went with Brandon here. He dominated both ends of the court. Kobe said Brandon was the toughest guy to guard in the league. That is good enough for me.
Fyi, Terry Porter should have been on this list instead of Jerome, Oden and Sabis.
Darius Miles…. Clyde a close second.
