Bill Simmons video on the history and rise of the Blazers
On Friday’s edition of ESPN’s NBA Countdown pregame show, Bill Simmons did a nice feature on the Trail Blazers history and their current rise.
He chronicles the team’s history and how it connects to their current run. Simmons calls the book “Breaks of The Game” by David Halberstam “The Bible,” which is about the Trail Blazers teams of the late 70’s and early 1980s.
I’m sure if you’re a Blazers fan, you will enjoy it.
