Portland Trail Blazers all-time roster
The Portland Trail Blazers are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon. They play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The franchise was awarded to Portland on February 6, 1970, with their first season being 1970–71. The Trail Blazers originally played their home games in the Memorial Coliseum, before moving to the Rose Garden (renamed to the Moda Center in 2013) in 1995. The team has enjoyed a strong following; from 1977 through 1995, the team sold out 814 consecutive home games, the longest such streak in American major professional sports. The Trail Blazers are one of two teams in the major professional North American sports leagues located in the state of Oregon, with the other being the Portland Timbers. The Trail Blazers are also currently the only NBA team based in the binational Pacific Northwest, after the Vancouver Grizzlies relocated to Memphis and became the Memphis Grizzlies in 2001, and the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City and became the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008.
The team has advanced to the NBA Finals three times, winning the NBA Championship once, in 1977. The other NBA Finals appearances were in 1990 and 1992. The team has qualified for the playoffs in 37 of their 54 seasons (as of the 2023–24 season) in the NBA, including a streak of 21 straight appearances from 1983 through 2003, tied for the second longest streak in NBA history. Seven Hall of Fame players have played for the Trail Blazers (Lenny Wilkens, Bill Walton, Clyde Drexler, Dražen Petrović, Arvydas Sabonis, Scottie Pippen, and Walter Davis). Carmelo Anthony will become the eighth Hall of Famer to play for the franchise when he is inducted as part of the 2025 Hall of Fame class in September. Walton is the franchise's most decorated player; he was the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 1977, and the regular season MVP the following year. Four Blazer rookies, Geoff Petrie, Sidney Wicks, Brandon Roy, and Damian Lillard, have won the NBA Rookie of the Year award. On December 19, 2022, Lillard became the team's all-time scoring leader, passing Drexler. Ten players have had their number retired by the team following their playing careers: Dave Twardzik (#13), Lionel Hollins (#14), Larry Steele (#15), Maurice Lucas (#20), Drexler (#22), Bob Gross (#30), Terry Porter (#30), Walton (#32), Lloyd Neal (#36), and Petrie (#45). Petrie was also the first ever draft pick made by the team.
