This week we got L.A., LaMarcus Aldridge on Knuckleheads. The Blazers legend joins Q and D to talk about growing up in Dallas, putting the horns up and dominating at Texas, and his time in the league. LaMarcus looks back at being a rookie in Portland with D and Zbo on the team, his stretch becoming one of the best big men in the league, and ultimately why he left for San Antonio. He also talks about playing with both Brandon Roy and Dame Lillard… and lowkey, LaMarcus just may have one of the best all-time starting 5’s we’ve ever heard. Tap in!
