I think what makes players like Terry special is that they make the effort to do something simple and special for someone else. A class act, always.

Those kids loved him, and he loved them. They never really harassed him like you would have thought a celeb would have been.

On the playground but for some reason I always pretended I was Clyde, probably because he could literally fly. As I've gotten older and more mature, I have a new found appreciation for Terry Porter and I have come to realize that he was, in fact, and always was the true heart and soul of those brilliant teams, a true Trail Blazer. True leaders are so far and few between. Terry was the guts. I will be there tonight to honor him and I thank the Blazers organization for this opportunity, it's the least they can do because I will never forgive management for ripping that team apart and experiencing the horror of seeing Terry in another uniform.
