    The ovation from Blazer fans sums it up. Deke went out playing D on a center 2 decades younger. Talk about a career.

    It's so sad to end this way for Deke. Hope the Rockets can make him proud by beating Portland and moving on...

    There was a great shot from game one from the Oregon newspaper that I posted in the photoshop thread but I'm sure it got passed over.

    Link

    Wallpaper-worthy. Thanks Deke.

    Portland for sure have classy fans, first they gave him a standing ovation and then wrote a whole page about Deke with alot of great comments about Dikembe. Nice seeing that every team ain't like the j*zz.

    And Dikembe, I will really miss that guy. Such a great human being.

    Awesome job on the vid and wallpaper.

    BTW, even w/out playing, I would really miss seeing Deke cheer on the sidelines, high fiving guys coming back to the bench, and him grabbing Yao and giving him some advice. I hope he can still do that in some capacity before the playoffs end.

    Deke is one of my favourite players of all time.

    Please keep in touch with Rocket's society Deke :(

    Mutombo needs to have his jersey retired. He's a true hero.

    Yao must feel like Luke Skywalker watching Obi-Wan get taken out by Darth Vader.

    Today we celebrate a great career.
