One of the most memorable players in the history of the Portland Trail Blazers franchise has died. As reported by Yahoo's own Marc Spears and KGW News in Portland, veteran forward Jerome Kersey has died at the age of 52 years old.

 

I know this isn't Hornets related but it didn't seem to go in the general NBA topic either. He was apart of that really good Blazers team in the late 80's - early 90's. They made it to the finals twice losing to the Pistons and Bulls. It's sad news.

how does someone die from knee surgery?

He didn't die from the knee surgery, per say, he died from a blot clot that formed in his leg AFTER the surgery. His blod clot traveled to his lungs, I think it's called a pulmonary thrombosis? Anyway, I knew a lady a few years ago who went in to have a routine knee scope, then died two days later. Her blot clot went to her heart and caused a massive heart attack. I had the same surgery when I was 19 and dying never even crossed my mind. Just goes to show you, there is no such thing as a "safe" or routine surgery.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
