Blazers center Robin Lopez was interviewed by Willamette Week about a variety of topics; including The Goonies, comic book collecting, his war on NBA mascots and of course basketball. The following are a couple excerpts.
Regarding the movie, The Goonies:
The Goonies are a close-knit group. They believe in themselves, even though there are doubters throwing darts at them outside. I posted that catch phrase a couple times, “Goonies never say die.” That’s pretty in line with the mentality of our team.
I asked Damian [Lillard] if he had seen Goonies. He said no. I’m questioning how many people on this team have actually seen the movie.

New Orlean's new mascot, Pierre the Pelican:
He does look like he’ll haunt your nightmares. I’m a pretty big fan of the name, if you just embrace the ridiculousness of it. As far as Pierre the Pelican goes, I don’t know what it is with the eye shadow. It’s not a becoming look for him. It’s almost Joker-ish.
