- The Portland Trailblazers during the early to mid-2000s had a lot of players who ran into trouble with the law. As a result, fans started to call them the Portland Jail Blazers. In this video, I talk about the whole Jail Blazers era and how they got the nickname. Enjoy!
I make all kinds of NBA videos which include trivia, analysis, player stories, countdowns, conspiracies, and mysteries. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Re-upload because my old vid got taken down. For those who haven't seen this one, enjoy! And apparently I still can't pronounce "Tucson".
Andy Hoops copyright? Thats dumb
@@skins1024 No, it was because of a sponsorship that RUclips didn't like, so they took it down
Brother Andy I was about to say that you did this...
It’s pronounced Too-saun
Disrespecting my city 😂
Rasheed was proved right about Tim Donahey - he WAS fixing games - and Rasheed had the will to confront him about it. Ball don't lie.
damn
I tell my son that. A woman will tell you all kinds of lies but this basketball will never ever lie to you.
@@landonbowling6677 A basketball can't lie to you cause it can't speak. But tell your son that I guess.
@@iClone316 I will didn't ask your opinion
It’s true.....
Ball
Don’t
Lie
I like to imagine that whenever drama in the locker room happened Steve Kerr would just sit with a bag of popcorn and watch
Where is Steve? “I’m over here watching the shit go down this is crazy”.
And sharing with Scottie, most of the time
*steve and scottie snickering in the corner*
Rasheed: "Tf you fuckers laughing at?"
LMFAO he said himself he enjoyed the show & it was his favorite time in NBA, & he played with Jordan so yea Jailblazers were entertaining lol
That’s a hell of a statement from a guy with eight rings.
When Randolph punched his teammate in the face for bullying he didnt lie when he said "In my hood bullies get bullied"
he's always been the man
Then why did he have to hide?
@@laqueenawilliams4762 cuz he was scared that he was gonna shoot him
@@laqueenawilliams4762 he was also strapped all the time. Ptown
I think he said "Bullies get bullets" .
Arvydas Sabonis is one of the most underrated players of all time. He could hold his own against Shaq and in fact you could tell he frustrated him. It must run in the blood though because his son Damontas is killing it in Indy and nobody even knows who he is. RIP CITY!
I wish he would have came over from Lithuania when he was in his prime, he would've possibly been an all-time great
hop in a time machine, give that man a 3 point shot...
Right
Sabonis was one hell of a player. His son now is playing and smashin up the boards and scoring at will.
And he did it with no knees.
In Rasheed Wallace's defense Tom Donahue went to jail for fixing basketball games so he gets a pass on that one.
Agree!
Yes fuck that ref
Ball don't lie
@@lukedro lol BALL DONT LIE! our that on his tomb stone lol
Exactly. Everybody forgets they got Sabonis out that game by the 3rd qtr. Couldn't stand this thug team was gonna move on. Did the same thing to the Kings the next year. Shaq and Kobe rings will always be tainted.
A great moment from the Jail Blazer era: A local high school in the suburbs of Portland (Tualatin High School) kept having issues with people dumping trash in their dumpsters and on their property. One day, after seeing their dumpsters filled yet again, they pulled some bags of trash out to see if they could get an idea about who was doing this...it ended up being the Kobe Stopper himself, Ruben Patterson, who lived a few minutes away.
Lmaooooo
Wonder what was wrong with his trash can? Did he really have that much trash that he had to use a dumpster?
@@taniamcdonald8526 I don't think it wasn't an issue of too much trash. Instead, he never set up and paid his utility bill for waste removal service, meaning that instead of them coming to his house on a garbage truck, he would cross the street to the school to use the dumpsters.
@@yeawrite6646 ok, I see
That's crazy 😁 Dude obviously made enough to pay such a minor bill.
This brings back memories of playing OG 2K on Dreamcast.
I watched this team as a kid growing up in Oregon. Knowing they were the Jail Blazers. That team was LOADED with talent and could easily win a championchips many years in a row. Sad times to think what they could have been
Taking weed that's wrapped in tin foil through a metal detector, wow
Getting arrested for weed is criminal. Now its recognized for its medicinal benefits & considered medication.
He did attend u of a ... so.
Jay Kara the ScythianSlayer irony isn’t it?
@Joel Villarreal or maybe he was just stupid
Bruh tin foil
I am South Korean, and I just listened to Ha Seung Jin's explanation of the incident with Sinanovic. They were playing in a summer league game and Sinanovic started to pick a fight with Ha because at the time Ha signed the contract with the blazers while Sinanovic who was drafted a year before Ha, did not, so they ended up fighting in the game, but Ha explained he never said he would sue him. He said he didn't even know the English word for "sue" at that time. Also, he never brought out a pole,d they just scuffled little bit and were separated. They later made up. Ha Seung Jin has his own RUclips channel, so I was able to hear what happened.
I just think it was dope as hell how dysfunctional the blazers were, even the foreign guys were scrapping.
Where is the video Ha said that?
This Blazer roster is 🔥. You can make a two starting five. All-time fave.
Rasheed Wallace
Scottie Pippen
Arvydas Sabonis

@@duck5304 hahaha
Meta World Peace brah
Air Pegasus if only they had Allen Iverson it would been the Portland Beat the shit out of you and go to jail when you’re like 17 and get out and play basketball.
🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😆
The JailBlazers moniker dates back to the early 1990s actually, and really started to take off around 1995-96 with the help of Spliff Robinson, J.R. Rider, Jermaine O'Neal, Dontonio Wingfield, Gary Trent and their run-ins with the law. Also a few of the Portland Parolees from the 1999-2010 era that weren't mentioned: Rod Strickland, Shawn Kemp, Sebastian Telfair, Nick Van Exel, and of course, Travis Outlaw.
Remember Denver with Melo AI and Birdman was called the Thuggets
🤣 jr smith, kenyon martin, and marcus camby too lmaoo
really?
There has to be a video about that
ESPN should do a 30for30 on both teams
Al Harrington as well. That team led the league in tattoos for a couple of years.
1:01 Didnt know Kyle Lowry played for Blazers
I never noticed their resemblance
Didn't know a mutant ninja turtle played for the Blazers
Funny thing, I think Bonzi and Kyle might've played together on the Rockets
LOL that's Bonzi Wells and to me he and Paul Pierce resembles one another.
@@panner11 They didn't. Bonzi was with Houston from 2006-08 and Kyle was with Houston from February, 2009-2012.
“TUKSON”
I mispronounced it in the original as well :(
Andy Hoops Then I love the consistency. Hope you know I’m just joking around man, I love your channel. Keep up the great work!
as a tukson native, i love when people pronounce tucson as Tukson lol. keep it up andy been with your channel over a year now
Hahahahaha!!! I had to look qnd someone else noticed!!!!
The most criminal part of this video!
That basketball card trick 😂
You know that's worked before.
Christian Coates wait it has for who?
Sir Cosumar he had a basketball card of himself but not his drivers license
Officer: “Boy this is a basketball card!”
Woods: “It’s got date of birth?”
😂😂😂
LMFAO! The story about the Korean player and the Euro one are gold. The Jail Blazers' bad vibes even rubbed off on these guys!
I'm pretty sure they were already like that. You guys act like whites and asians can't be criminals when it's clear that anyone can be and these two definitely were
Bad vibes rubbing off makes more sense than “I’m pretty sure they were like that” like u knew them or something
@@GranolaBars11 Nah, being around (generally) black thugs can do that. Not even saying it's a bad thing, look at Bill Laimbeer, dude was soft as hell rich white kid, but Rick Mahorn took him under his wing and taught him how to be tough and play bully ball, dude definitely learn to play like that at private school.
@@thefibrillator2927 I mean Rick did mentor bill but bill was never a punk. just because someone's rich means nothing about toughness he was always a scrappy dude from what I've heard
@@GranolaBars11 Let's be real now
*The full story of the portland trail blazers*
Passing up larry bird, michael jordan and kevin durant....
Lmao and thats so true
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Joel Villarreal it literally wasn’t
@Joel Villarreal He is saying it wasn't understandable because he thinks EVERYONE knew Durant or MJ was going to be a god because he has the benefit of hindsight.
yk2015 portland failblazers
So wallace got 1 tech every 2 games? Damn
That same ref he was accused of going after (Donahy) Admitted to being a part of a cheating referee scandal where the refs placed bets on who can give techs to who among other dirty things like fixing NBA games.
Yeah I'm pretty sure if you add them all up he probably averaged a technical per game his whole career lol
bee boo you want a tissue crybaby 😂😂😂
yea it was bad, the whole city hated him
He'll yeah he was a the tech king bro lol
Zach Randoph ended up becoming a huge role model for kids when he moved to the Memphis Grizzlies
that 2000 team that went to Western Conference final was loaded. The video didn't even mentioned Steve Smith, Stacey Augmon, or Brian Grant on the team along with a young Jermaine O'Neal hidden on the back end of the bench. Detlef Schrempf was on the tail end of his career with Sabonnis, but he gave so much match up problem. Guess who led the 3pt pct pre-Dirk Notwizki era? Yup, Detlef Schrempf. With Steve Smith, Scottie Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, and Sabonis starting, it was incredible. Then you add in Brian Grant, Augmon, Bonzi Wells (pre-starting Bonzi of 2002, who made a name of himself vs Lakers on that conf. final), Greg Anthony, and Detlef on the 2nd unit, damn you got a complete team. Add in Jermaine O'neal as your 11th man. Yup, this team was stacked.
ultrustic if they played 60 minutes instead of 48 this team woulda been hard to stop.
Yes was the supposed first super team
Detlef was Germany's most well known baller before Nowitski
ultrustic absolutely stacked. I’m mad at Scottie tho. Never should have let that team squander a 13pt 4th qtr lead
@@poloregal bro, it wasn't Scottie Pippen, it was the cheating ass Tim Donaghy refs as well as stupid David Stern! They didn't want Pippen to have more rings than Jordan point blank period!
Great work andy! Love these insider vids, I appreciate all the reuploads and see how hard you’re working, it has inspired me to make my own channel, as I’m sure it has for a lot of people
It's that negative energy its contagious if u dont deal with it. I remember players saying when they went to San Antonio during Duncan years, how it was professional and the energy was positive
Wallace was actually fun to watch back then. He played with a chip on his shoulder
One of my favorites... He was a great bad guy, unlike Karl Malone!
Tries to rape someone
Only 15 days in jail
Perks of being famous
Brandon Black
That's what happens when you're admired by everyone. Why else did OJ Simpson get away with murder?
Kobe did 0 days in jail, if I'm not mistaken
Black privilege
Sandernista that doesn’t exist
They must've had some fun with that much marajuana charges
bee boo preach it brother !!!
This team was one of my favorite teams of all time
I remember an article in Croatias Basketball magazine about Jail Blazers, it was like half of the number that month. Amazing team
Rashid Wallace is badass. Whack Get Out! That game was hilarious 😂
That intro in tune with the music always gets me 🔥😌
Darius Miles had so much potential
I've been saying Andy should make a video of him but.....
HE DID. HE WAS DURANT-LIKE BEFORE DURANT CAME TO THE LEAGUE
@@KingKratos79 miles was not a good shooter. He was way more athletic also
@@sauce773 he didn't work on it. But one on one in his PRIME DARIUS MILES WOULD DRAG DURANT
@@KingKratos79 na cause even tho kid soft he's still better all around
Can you do a story of the 2004 Detroit Pistons, the story of an NBA underdog
Jayvin Luis Man that was a good series
I loved this blazers team. They came so close to winning a championship.
Still got my bonzi wells jersey
never get rid of it!
Man Steve Kerr about to get his fair share of dysfunction this season
Ayomide Fadipe 😂😂😂😂😂
How’s that dysfunction going big guy?
4 rings in 5 years isn’t dysfunction
@@jaksierra7 The same Blazers that got swept even with double digit leads in halftime and without KD? Lol
Not making the playoffs is disfunction
Excellent work Andy. Fair play to reloading the old stuff.
All that, and you didn't even mention J R Rider (recreational drugs, wild parties, etc), or Gary Trent (Among other things, attacked a man with a pool cue at one point). I lived in the Portland area during those years, and it often seemed like one or more Blazers would do something idiotic almost every day.
Been a blazer fan since 99 and I just now learned Steve Kerr played for them!
Well, I guess the slogan 'Keep Portland Weird' was true
JanReY C ‘keep Portland weird’ started after the jail blazers, headass
@bee boo lmaoooo
Sick nickname, bad reputation 😂
Don't forget Isaiah Rider was on the Blazers at the beginning of the "Jail Blazers" era. He played well there too. Other notables were Walt Williams, Stacey Augmon, Kelvin Cato, Gary Grant, a young Jermaine O'neil. I remember at one point they had Kenny Anderson, Rod Strickland (2nd stint), Greg Anthony and Damon Stoudamire all on the roster at the same time. Paul Allen and company were constantly loading up on talent. I heard the weed was great in that part of the country and I noticed they always had the players that liked to get down too. Coincidence maybe... 😂
Anyone else see thee original
Zen Liggons I did, but I'm not going to say I did.
Yes
Yeeto
What was different?
I'm from Arizona Lol that's not how you pronounce Tucson (Two saan) like the vids though.
The way i will always see them is that they had so much talent, and they should have been how the Lakers were, and won Championships. They had a good player at every position. Problem was the dysfunction. Both teams of early to mid 2000s were good overall teams with a lot of talent that should have beat the LAL (Blazers, Kings), but what can i say, NBA didnt want to see LAL out of the Finals.
Everyone forgets. They even had Steve Smith, and detlef schremph. They were a tall, skilled stacked team, Dale Davis would play key minutes too
I went to college with Qyntel Woods well 2002-2004 for he went to Memphis to play and on to the NBA stay connected he still connected with my homeboy down here he did pretty well overseas after getting his career on track we have some wild days back in Northeast it was fun to hang out with I play football and he played basketball can you speak on some of the things but we had fun
They way you pronounced Tucson hurt me to my core. It's pronounced as if it were 2 son
It was fun to watch these guys play!
Lol@ presenting 2 trading cards coz of no driver's license
So close to 200k im so excited idk why you're the RUclipsr but whatever. Just 500 more subs you got this you deserve it
Been waiting for someone to do a video on my Fave team of all time.
Just wished you'd focused more on Basketball as to the issues...
But...
Yeah... people like "Soap Opera" (WWE??) more than the sports it' self.
That metal detector situation is so funny. My grandmother got a good laugh from that too.
They went to hell after Drexler left
Gary Turbo ikr
@Rodzilla true...same could be said for the Sacramento Kings, early 2000 Lakers were an amazing team, but to say they didn't get favorable calls is a lie.
Kemp also did some shit with the Jailblazers 🤣 I just loved that team !
The jail blazers and the kings were the 2 most loaded teams from starting five to bench I’ve ever seen that didn’t win a championship, how the hell did this team not win a championship? Coaching had to be the issue, with both. And the refs cheating.
Taylor Pack....jail blazers
why? asked the Lakers. 😅
Used to go to games and the coach was more of a baby sitter, just raw talent on the blazers. A real coach would of won. The players had respect among each other and probably blazed together off the court.
In the late 90’s through early 2000’s 4 out of 5 times in the playoffs they had to play Kobe and Shaq
Rasheed Wallace was a DIRTY player with a high temper similar to Boggie Cousins but people forget just how good he was. 1x NBA Champion, 4x All Star, All Rookie team and in his prime he averaged like 17-20ppg, 7-8rpg, 2apg, over a steal and around 1.5bpg on close to 50%fg. Also he was the leader of that "Jail" Blazers team that made the WCF twice in 1999 and 2000
He was never a dirty player! What are you talking about! he was a dick to the refs and talked smack, but wasn't a dirty player! The Blazers are my favorite team and watched them religiously back then and he never was that sort of guy. He was fuckin unstoppable in the post though for sure. His biggest problem was that he was WAAAAAY too unselfish offensively. If they had come down and given him the ball in the post the way teams would feed KG, Webber, or Duncan back then - Seed woulda averaged 30 a game rather than 18 to 20. He pretty much was exactly like Aldridge was when he was in his prime four or five years ago when he was still with the Blazers, except Sheed was a much better defender where as LA might have been a better rebounder.
@@8301TheJMan I haven't seen him play as much but since you have I respect your opinion
makis papachristou ok?
Would be a GOD in modern game
@@makis7383 Yeah I watched him play my whole life. Especially when he was with the Pistons and I can second what that guy said. Sheed might've been a straight up asshole and a temper tantrum thrower but he didn't cheat or play dirty like at all. But I do believe he's unfortunately thought of as a dirty player these days even tho he wasn't
Tim Donaghey was the one who was fixing games though?
Benjamin Jones yeah he was. He probably deserved an ass beating
Just came to say I've seen the original and this is still a great video. Love the editing andy.
I just ordered some Sheed Af1’s and was looking for a Portland Sheed jersey today
I actually remember ha seung Jin back when 2k6 was first out I’d always sign him in franchise , couldn’t believe as a kid there was a 7ft4 guy in free agency lol his ovr was trash but he was so big he’d send shots flying everywhere back when you could actually spike shots back in the game
I’ve been watching the blazers my entire life. And yes there is truth to this video what was left out is how talented these guys were. That 200-2001 team was loaded. Rasheed Wallace is one of the best to ever wear the blazer jersey. Damon stodumire was an excellent floor general. The Portland media did everything they could to try to. Expose them for a great story line. If you follow NBA players for stories they will give you content. The majority of young adults in the NBA smoke weed and do dumb shit because they are young rich and famous. Fuck Reuben Patterson and Q woods but everyone else were great players and teammates. That team was a blast to watch.
Bonzi wells to Rasheed Wallace best alley oop of all time
Ryan Harvey i wish i could double thumb this up
Pleaded guilty to attempted rape and still managed to play 9 more seasons. Ridiculous.
but they couldn't smoke weed haha what the fuck nba
Been watching your videos all day
the ref robbed them tim donaghy he robbed the kings too
Big ups. Team had swagger. I went to a open practice when I was in middle school and showed Rasheed a card from him at UNC and asked for an autograph, he laughed and shook his head without signing it lol.
To be honest there's footage of Rasheed Wallace throwing a towel at Arvydas Sabonis head on the bench in one game
Zach Randolph changed though. And became a good person and idol. over there in Memphis
Taking the era of shaq and kobe.. Now taking on curry and klay.. Damn they cursed
Oh man! A couple of 7-foot guys going at it in the locker room? Bet that was hysterical! LOL.
Siri pull up directions to Tuck Son...
SOOOOO close to 200k subs good job Andy I have been here since 45 thousand subs
Z-Bo & Bonzi My Dawgs Indiana stand up!
I've watched this, at least 4 or 5 times. Great video.
The dog fighting part hurts my heart. Who does that?
Michael Vick
I grew up in Oregon and I have lived in Portland now over 21 years. I am and always have been a big time Portland Trailblazer fan since 1986 when I was seven. When the jail Blazers era was going on I can vouch a lot of us who are fans living in the Portland area were really embarrassed by the team's actions. The only players on that team who I actually respected where Scottie Pippen and Arvydas Sabonis. I'm a loyal fan good times and bad but I was still pretty ashamed of the behavior. I will say watching the team make the Western Conference Finals in 2019 was pure elation especially for the fact that the players on the team are people of good character
I wish Netfilx had been big enough then to send a camera crew into the lair of the Jail Blazers. That would have been amazing
Big enough? You mean exist?
@@cognitivedisability9864 they did exist then. They were an online DVD rental site at the time. The founders of Netfilx at the time even offered the whole company to Blockbuster but the latter turned it down. Its one of the biggest corporate fuck ups of all time.
My grandpa had season tickets years ago. When it was the Jail Blazers era. He had to cancel the season tickets subscription. Also they seem to be the Raiders of NBA. Much love to both teams.
Wallace threatening the ref Donagee should really be seen in a different light now that we know the ref was part of betting scandal and routinely controlled the outcomes of games. Would be worth to mention in your clip no?
Man, I lived these guys back in the day.
The disrespect on Tucsons name 🤬
That was one hell of a squad lol.
This dude said “Tuc-Son”
I'm glad someone else noticed that shit lmao
Scottie pippen and Steve Kerr eating popcorn and watching everyone fighting in practice 🧍♂️
7:40 "TO SHAQ!!!!"
This was a crazy era. Good times.
199k subs...SO CLOSE
The fact that they were still a good team is even more hilarious to me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:39 "tuck-son airport"....shudders at pronunciation
Subscribing your channel and see lots of common videos that I watch over and over! True fans😂
Bonzi Wells always looked like a rat to me 😂
You had me at “Tuck, son.”
Is this a re-upload. Im almost sure I have seen this video before.
Mike Korzemba
@@JasonExclusive nooooooo mike korzema exaggerating things lmao
Yes. Read the description.
-FN- OG era!!! Bring it back please
Bill Walton was like... The exact opposite of this and he played on this team in the 70s.
He wanted to be a Celtic tho and got his wish. Just like Drexler wanted to really play in Houston with Hakeem.
I grew up in muncie indiana and watched bonzi wells at muncie central high school and Ball state University. Hes a very talented ball player.
Tuckson Airport? You mean Tucson?
Gabe Cal he watches too much Star Wars
They also loved saying that their roster is better than the Eastern Conference All Star team
