Adam Morrison: I’ll Retire if I Don’t Make the Portland Trailblazers
Adam Morrison, last seen looking like an extra on the set of Half Baked 2 while trying out for the Nets, is giving the NBA one final shot: He’s trying out for the Portland Trailblazers and if that fails … the 28-year-old former No. 3 pick in the NBA draft is quitting basketball according to Comcast Sports Net:
Morrison, 28, told CSNNW.com that if he didn’t make the Trail Blazers’ regular season roster, he has plans to end his professional playing career and start a new one.
“I’m going to finish school and start coaching (If he didn’t make the Trail Blazers roster)…I did the Europe thing and it just wasn’t for me,” Morrison told CSNNW.com. “Not saying the (Europe) culture or anything like that, (or) the people, it just wasn’t for me. So, yeah, if it doesn’t work out, I’m willing to look myself in the mirror and say, ‘I gave it a honest shot’ and turn the page. Do something else.”
We’ll always have March, Adam. Morrison will be forever linked to Gus Johnson, madness, and tears. [CSNNW.com]

Two time NBA Champion. Lifes not fair kids.

adios

Refreshing honesty. Bold appearance.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Dude made almost $17 million during his time in the NBA. He should be fine as long as he hasn’t Warren Sapp’d his money.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:29 PM
that’s unfortunate, sucks for him.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:30 PM
Or a tryout in Singles 2
October 4th, 2012 at 12:32 PM
Some Type O Negative cover band lead singer better watch his back.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:33 PM
I was court side for that game…I heard the slap on the non-call foul/turnover. Gonzaga was robbed.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Maybe him trying out for baseball can lead to higher ratings and save the sport

Can you really call it retiring if there aren’t any teams that want you?
October 4th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
this is way more important than this
sorry srod
and morrison may be the ugliest nba player right now
October 4th, 2012 at 12:48 PM
An “honest shot?” Getting baked and playing X-Box all day is an “honest shot?” I’d hate to see someone give it a dishonest shot…
October 4th, 2012 at 12:48 PM
That is like every NBA player.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:49 PM
“Batista with the CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH!!!” will always crack me up
October 4th, 2012 at 12:49 PM
That is sad if true, because he doesn’t rank anywhere near the Popeye Jones or Gheorghe Muresans of the world.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:49 PM
Holy shit there’s another die hard movie coming out?

RIP Peter Steele

christian women is still on my rotation.
peter steele is dead?
October 4th, 2012 at 12:52 PM
Vez, I saw that earlier on NBATV. Fifty-six is way too young.
It’s the one thing about being over 50 that I hate. Stuff I didn’t think twice about before, now can take me out. The next sausage egg croissant I eat could be fatal.
That being said, we saw Sam Young yesterday. I think he and Morrison are a dead heat for ugliest NBA player.
Digging the Seger reference.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:54 PM
unfortunately.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:54 PM
He died over 2 years ago of heart failure. Cocaine’s a helluva drug.

Whoa, whoa, whoa…Batboy Delonte West would like to speak to you.

Dude looks like a fucking hobbit or something in that pic.
October 4th, 2012 at 12:56 PM

He could sub for Metallica’s bassist.

wow, i missed that. Type O was part of Roadrunner records, which in the early nineties, had a lineup on their label that was pure badass. Type O, Biohazard, Sepultura, Life of Agony, Coal Chamber, Machinehead, Fear Factory. It got to the point to where if i saw the roadrunner label on the back of the record, i would just buy it.

Gus Johnson’s call on Isaiah Thomas’ game winner over UA in the PAC 10 title= legendary
October 4th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
This is the better Adam Morrison/Gus Johnson moment. With a kiss from Bill Raftery
October 4th, 2012 at 1:00 PM
If I remember right, when he signed his first contract, that money was going in the bank and he was going to live off endorsement money due to all the players going broke and contract money was going in the bank. No clue if he did that or not.

Raft is in rare form there. ONIONS!!!

October 4th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
The list at the end was about close to half (or in TBL speak, 50/100) white people, including Rollie Fingers. Not saying I was shocked, but a bit surprised.
