Or perhaps, this is Ah Gan's miracle alone?
As mentioned earlier, I missed the opportunity due to a back injury.
This wasn't the first time I missed the chance to work with the Trail Blazers.
Once upon a time, I had the opportunity to enter the NBA as a top draft pick.
That was in 1978, I declared for the NBA draft, and the Trail Blazers wanted to select me with the number one pick.
They had just won the championship in the regular season, but everything was ruined because of Walton's injury.
Originally, they were full of potential and had a chance to build a dynasty in the late '70s.
But injuries ruined everything, Walton's accusations against the Trail Blazers spread throughout the league, and at that time, all the young players and stars didn't want to play there.
Back then, my friend Ed Jax called me, saying that the Trail Blazers might select me with the first pick in the first round.
