The Portland Trail Blazers mourn the passing of former radio announcer Brian Wheeler, who passed away on Friday, November 8. Wheeler, better known as “Wheels” served as the radio voice of the Trail Blazers for 21 seasons from 1998-2019.
His love for the game and passion for the Trail Blazers came through in every radio call, making each play a thrill for every listener tuning in. As we mourn Wheels passing, we fondly remember his post-win declaration, “And once again we can say: It’s a great day to be a Blazer!”
Rip City Radio is saddened to learn of the passing of former @trailblazers radio voice, the legendary Brian Wheeler.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the entire Trail Blazers community.
Rest in peace, Wheels.
Brian Wheeler was simply the best NBA radio PxP announcer of his generation. His passion & energy for the game were unmatched. We spent thousands of hours on the air together doing games & hosting shows. He was an even better friend & I'll miss him tremendously. RIP, Wheels 💔

Your dad's Republican party is dead. Trump and his cronies are dragging its corpse along the campaign trail in hopes the American people won't know the difference, but we do. These aren't real Republicans, they are fascist thugs. Vote for sanity. Vote for Kamala Harris.
