[Portland Trail Blazers @trailblazers]

The Portland Trail Blazers organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Rick Adelman, a franchise legend and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer. Rick was one of the most influential figures in franchise history, a member of the inaugural 1970 team and integral coach throughout the 80s and 90s, guiding the team to Finals appearances in 1990 and 1992. Rick's basketball brilliance helped shape multiple eras of Trail Blazers basketball, earning the respect and admiration of the basketball community and cementing his legacy. His thoughtful leadership, integrity, and kindness impacted all those around him on and off the court. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Adelman family, and all those in the world of basketball who were touched by his impact.

Ever since Duncan Robinson was a little kid, his big brother, Eli, was his biggest fan. While Duncan carved out a career, Eli had his personal struggles. And last year, his suffering was just too much. This is their story of loss and love (told with the incredible @simonpb17)

[Malika Andrews @malika_andrews]

Duncan Robinson’s love of basketball started with his big brother, Eli. But when Eli got older, he began to struggle.

It takes incredible strength to share a story like this. Thank you, Duncan, for your vulnerability. Well done @mcten. I know this hit close to home.
