You Asked For It: The Shirtless Blazers Super Fan

If you were at the Rose Garden last night, you witnessed something so amazing, so incredible, so shocking, that you absolutely cannot stop talking about what you saw.

No, I'm not talking about Brandon Roy's 52 points.

I am talking about the ridiculous shirtless dancing of a Blazers fan singled-out on the big screen. His shirtless gyrations spread so quickly that within a matter of minutes every fan in the vicinity was removing their shirt and joining him. I sort of assume this was what Woodstock was like.

Watch it here.

TNT put it on too after the match. Barkley did not approve.

Yeah, some local asshat is now a national icon. Next time you want to dance without a shirt on, wait so that it isn't on national television.

If by local asshat you mean local hero. Then yes.

And he helps perpetrate the myth that there are black people in Portland.

I'm right behind that guy! Right behind the shirtless guy wearing the blue Hollister jacket.

Man that was a night to remember. So much fun!

By far, the best entertainment the Blazer's big screen has ever presented to me.
