When the question of who could possibly challenge OKC out West, instead of saying San Antonio or LAC, Wayne not only shouts out the Portland Trail Blazers, but Lamarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard specifically. Starting at 2:30 they talk for a bit on the subject, and Steven A goes CRAZY over Wayne saying the Trail Blazers. No one can believe him. He even says Lillard and Aldridge over CP3 and Griffin. Wow. Shouts to Lil Wayne! I appreciate him not backing down and actually explaining his point. He knows what's up.

The Blazers remain one of the only teams left in the league to feature five starting players who clearly fit the old Wooden taxonomy of basketball positions. As a result, the team plays with a seamless flow and intelligent spacing. They consistently create shots for one another, in turn making each other look and play better. The five starters blend together to create perhaps the most balanced offensive attack in the NBA."
