An old column by Bill Simmons recalled the moment when Bobby Knight urged the Portland Trail Blazers to pick Michael Jordan with their No. 2 overall draft pick in the 1984 draft, even telling them to use him at the 5 if they were so keen to land a center.

“Last month, NBA.com TV replayed each NBA draft telecast since 1981. Most sports fans stumble across draft marathons and say, "Who watches this stuff?" I pop in an eight-hour tape.”

“A huge number of screwups are on that tape, including one of sports' watershed blunders: Portland taking Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan in 1984. You know the setup: Akeem (pre-Hakeem) Olajuwon is the clear No. 1 because Can't-Miss Centers top Can't-Miss Anything Elses. Drafting second, Portland knew Jordan was a sure thing -- we all did-but they had Clyde Drexler at shooting guard.”

“Bobby Knight, who'd coached MJ at the '84 Olympics trials, urged Portland Trail Blazers GM Stu Inman (an old pal) to take Jordan. Inman said, "But we need a center." Knight yelled back, "So play him at center!" Inman didn't listen, and the result is a jaw-dropping scene.”

HIGH FIRE DANGER
About 20% of City land in Portland is urban greenspace - parks, natural areas, stream corridors, and open spaces.

This weekend, dry, hot, and windy conditions put those areas at high risk of wildfire danger. Portland Parks & Recreation, the Oregon Department of Forestry, and Portland Fire & Rescue continue to work together on ways to raise awareness as our region addresses the increased risk of wildfire.

And please keep YOUR eyes out for any dangers. We all need to take responsibility for reducing the fire risk in our area.

Do NOT light matches, lighters, or any flames in a park or other open space. Be smart. Be aware. Please call 9-1-1 if you see a fire.
