Here's the sign the article mentions... wish I could take credit for it, but alas, I can't:

Great for Pooh, he had it coming to him to have the chance to be on a NBA
team that played at the Rose Garden.

As much of a disappointment as the loss was for the Blazers and the fans, being there to see Pooh step on the court was great. When they showed the sign above (well done, by the way) on the big screen, there was some scattered applause throughout the arena. Not as much as I would have hoped, but enough to dull the sting of losing to the conference's worst team. After we cheered when Pooh scored, the couple sitting next to us did pick it up and clap when the sign came on the big screen.

Thanks to Pooh for all the memories and best of luck for the rest of your career in the League.

Barring an impending lockout (or Pooh getting cut), under the current deal that would jump to $788,872 in year 2!!

I tracked down Pooh at the Rose Garden before the game (I was there covering a local high school, which just happened to play their annual Rose Garden game when the Blazers played the Kings) and wrote my weekend column on him for my paper:

Back to Pooh's corner

Also, full audio interview is here
