Udoka

What a great first game for Udoka last night. Anyone catch that? His big offensive rebound helped seal the deal for the Trailblazers...

I think it is so awesome that he is playing for the Blazers. Not only is he playing, but he started the first game of the year. From what I read, it seemed like the was the "Rudy" of the team. If he didn't get signed, many of the players were going to protest to the Blazer's front office. His story is a really great one too. He's from Portland, played at PSU, spent some time in the development league, got invited to Blazer's camp because Aaron Miles didn't pass his physical, worked his butt off, his father died, he played through it and got signed and is a starter until one of the other small forwards gets healthy.

Go Udoka!
Go Viks!

I agree DJ. This does wonders for both PSU and the Trailblazers. Rumor has it that Miles may not even play this year, and with the bad image associated with him, I'd be suprised to even see him in a Trailblazer uniform again.

This may help put PSU on the map for local kids looking at schools to play at. Heh, look, PSU puts players in the NBA.
