The Portland Trail Blazers, founded in 1970, quickly rose to prominence with a passionate fan base, Hall of Fame players, and one NBA championship. The franchise’s breakthrough came in 1977 under coach Jack Ramsay, as Finals MVP Bill Walton led Portland to its first and only NBA title, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in a six-game series after falling behind 2–0. Walton’s injuries cut short the team’s dynasty hopes, but the Blazers remained competitive throughout the 1980s behind stars like Clyde Drexler, one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history. Drexler led Portland to two NBA Finals appearances in 1990 and 1992, falling to the Pistons and Michael Jordan’s Bulls despite his Hall of Fame scoring and leadership. The 2000s featured the “Jail Blazers” era with talented yet controversial teams starring Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, and Scottie Pippen, reaching the 2000 Western Conference Finals before losing to the Lakers in a dramatic Game 7. The late 2000s and 2010s belonged to Brandon Roy, whose brilliance was cut short by injuries, and LaMarcus Aldridge, who led playoff teams alongside young point guard Damian Lillard. Lillard, drafted in 2012, became the face of the franchise, delivering iconic playoff moments like his series-winning buzzer-beaters in 2014 and 2019 while earning multiple All-NBA honors. Despite trading Lillard in 2023 to Milwaukee, the Blazers now rebuild around young talents like Scoot Henderson and Anfernee Simons, aiming to return to contention. From Walton to Drexler to Lillard, Portland’s history blends championship glory, Hall of Fame players, and one of basketball’s most loyal fan bases.
