Cliff Robinson guided UConn out from the bottom and almost helped take the Portland Trail Blazers to the top. Robinson helped the Blazers reach the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. RIP Clifford Robinson - some of my earliest memories of NBA basketball were of you as the lifeblood to those early/mid 90s Blazers teams. As a player coming in, heres this guy playing on TV for the Trail Blazers, watching him play, watching UConn being mentioned. Besides the Blazers, Robinson also played for Phoenix, Detroit, Golden State and the Nets.
