Lamarcus Aldridge - Blazin'

LaMarcus Nurae Aldridge (born July 19, 1985, in Dallas, Texas) is an American professional basketball player with the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. He is a 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) power forward/center.Aldridge was drafted 2nd overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls, only to have his draft rights traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for their pick, Tyrus Thomas and Viktor Khryapa, shortly after. The Bulls acquired the pick from the New York Knicks in the 2005 Eddy Curry trade.Aldridge missed the first seven games of the 2006-07 NBA season due to off-season shoulder surgery, but returned ahead of schedule due in part to an injury to fellow rookie teammate Brandon Roy. Aldridge made an immediate impact on offense, averaging 8.4 points on 54% shooting from the field through his first 14 games. After the loss of starting center Joel Przybilla in February of 2007 to season-ending knee surgery, Aldridge was awarded the starting center position and improved his scoring to 14.7 points alongside 8.0 rebounds per game in the month of March. This placed him second in the voting for the Western Conference Rookie of the Month to Roy. On March 31, 2007, in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers, Aldridge was taken to Providence Hospital in Portland for shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat. He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome on April 9, 2007, and missed the remaining eight games of the 2006-07 season. He is expected to make a full recovery. Aldridge was one of six players named to the 2007 NBA All-Rookie first team; he tied for fifth place along with Toronto Raptors player Jorge Garbajosa. Aldridge increased his play in his sophomore year, with career highs in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, and finishing third in voting for the Most Improved Player award.

Yeah go Blazers!Good vid bro, but at the end when the text scrolls on the side of the screen, can you make the top ten countdown fill up more space? It's hard to see some of the highlights, and the text would still be readable if it were smaller.

Fire Paxston.

I agree bro. That was a bad move in my opinion. U r 100% correct. The Bulls would be a great contender if they had him. But on the other hand, the BLAZERS FUTURE LOOK GREAT AS WELL. Hopefully they would reach their potential cuz they have a great nucleus of talent.

Paxson why? Chicago should have defintely held onto this pick instead of trading him for Tyrus "all i can do is jump" Thomas, and some guy who warms the bench.
