UNTOLD: JAIL BLAZERS premieres April 14.
In the early 2000s, the Portland Trail Blazers were stacked with talent—and surrounded by controversy.
Through firsthand stories from Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, and Bonzi Wells, this is an unfiltered look at a team caught between brilliance and notoriety—and the media storm that followed.
Rollercoaster Tycoon taught my brother and I the importance of interest rates. When we first played, we’d max out our loans because it felt good to see a flush bank account. Then we noticed “interest” payments that varied from level to level. Soon, we started only taking out loans for revenue-generating capital investments.
We were, like, eight or nine years old.
This Console Saved My Life Guys… #Xbox#XboxSeriesS
I was on my way home from my local GameStop with the Xbox in my backpack when I was struck by a truck while riding my bicycle. I managed to keep above the trucks steel bumper at first but I eventually was dragged under.
I was slammed to the ground and still he kept going so I assumed he didn’t see me. The Xbox in my backpack prevented me from hitting my head or worse, even dying.
I wasn’t gonna get shredded beneath the truck so I used my left leg to attempt to slow the truck. At this point my bike wedged my right leg so I couldn’t move it anywhere. Next thing I know my backpack was only hanging on by my left shoulder and was slammed into the curb along with me afterwards. I look to my left and I feel the full weight of the front end of this truck roll up on my ribs and roll back off. The truck hit and dragged me 12 feet and soon I was rushed to the hospital with only a single broken bone in my left foot and a few road rashes.
I thought the Xbox was a goner but It started up with no hesitation at all and runs games surprisingly well considering what it went through.
If the Xbox wasn’t in my bag at the time a lot more could have happened…
