Only 52. Still remember that Blazers team going down to the Pistons and then the Bulls in the Finals. So much talent: Kersey, Duckworth, Drexler, Porter, Robinson,Buck Williams. Can't believe how many guys are dead from that squad: Petrovic, Duckworth and Kersey.

Yep i remember those teams, too. Those Blazers teams also had arguably the coolest 89-90 Skybox cards too. Talented and deep squads. And yes, that is crazy how many have died- you would think their owner was Vince McMahon.

Sad day here in Portland for Trailblazer fans. He was always around at community events and did a lot of good things for kids that went unreported. We all love guys that stay in an area after playing (like Nance has) and that is what Kersey did here but stayed involved. RIP in Rip City for JKersey
