How well do you know Portland Trail Blazers by the numbers?
We're talking about historical jersey numbers and the players who wore them for the Blazers? Without googling and looking for a cheat sheet on a website (that's cheating!), how many of our 30 questions can you guess correctly? Who else wore Bill Walton's number 32? Which Blazer has worn a pair of double-digit numbers for the Blazers? What number graced the uniform of the original Blazer player.
Some of these will be tricky (unless cheating is involved - and NOT allowed). Use your best guesses, knowledge and remembrances of the team over its 51 years of existence and test your knowledge. If you have any additional questions, please enter them in the comments below. Our answers are contained in the attachments at the bottom of the page.
