Re: Player statue...
I'd go with Walton even though he wasn't here long he was the nucleus of the team that won our only championship. My next choice would be Oden....looking down the road a bit that is.
Lucas wouldn't be a bad choice either. He played a major part in our only championship and is still with the team as a coach.

I think that the Rose Garden commons have a lot now, I just don't see a statue in the near future, maybe in 15 years.

Re: Player statue...
A bronze basketball court with ten bronze statues playing basketball: 1977 starting five versus the starting five of the next championship team. Walton posting up on Oden.

I agree. However if they just had to make a statue, I would want it to be Walton and Lucas.

Re: Player statue...
If we have to debate who it should be, we probably shouldn't erect a statue.

Re: Player statue...
How about a statue of Nate and a few players?
Maybe him getting Jack off the bench and Sergio heading towards it?
