SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2015 7A COMMUNITY SPORTS Trail Blazers great Jerome Kersey dies PORTLAND (AP) — Je- rome Kersey, the versatile small forward who helped the Portland Trail Blazers reach two NBA Fi- nals and won a title with the San Antonio Spurs in 1999, died Wednesday. He was 52. The cause of death wasn’t immediately known. A team ambassador, Kersey appeared Tuesday with fellow former Blazers Terry Porter and Brian Grant at a Portland high school in cele- bration of African American History Month. “Today we lost an incredi- ble person and one of the most beloved players to ever wear a Trail Blazers uniform,” Blazers owner Paul Allen said in a state- ment. “My thoughts and con- dolences are with the Kersey family. He will be missed by all of us. It’s a terrible loss.” Kersey averaged 10.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 17 seasons in the NBA with Port- land, Golden State, the Los Angeles Lakers, Seattle, San Antonio and Milwaukee. He helped the Blazers reach the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992, playing alongside Porter, Clyde Drexler, Kevin Duck- worth and Buck Williams. “He was the greatest guy, the nicest friend, teammate and brother. He was loved by every- one. We will all miss him. He just cared so much,” Drexler told Comcast SportsNet North- west. “This is unbelievable.” Kersey had his best sea- son in 1987-88, averaging 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds. Kersey played in 1,153 regu- lar-season games, also averag- ing 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals. The former Longwood University star ranks second on Portland’s career games list with 831, third in minutes played at 21,400, second in rebounds with 5,078, third steals with 1,059, DQG¿IWKLQSRLQWVZLWK At 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, “No Mercy” Kersey had a broad smile and a warm manner that made him a fan favorite.

Kersey died Wednesday at age 52. MORE ONLINE When the Trail Blazers visited Astoria in 2010, The Daily Astorian sports reporter Gary Henley interviewed Kersey. See the video at www.dailyastorian.com Trail Blazers guard Dami- an Lillard posted to Twitter: “Spoke to him regularly about life and the ups and downs of a NBA season. Gone too soon, much love!” Others who posted their condolenc- es included Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter. Kersey retired from bas- ketball in 2001. He was an as- sistant coach with Milwaukee in 2004-05 under Porter. In addition to serving as a team ambassador, he appeared on Blazers’ broadcasts for Com- cast SportsNet Northwest. At Longwood, a Division II school in Farmville, Vir- ginia, Kersey averaged 17 SWIMMING points and 11.3. He was a sec- ond-round pick by the Blazers in the 1984 draft. “The news is so sudden, and we’re sure more details will be forthcoming,” Blazers President Chris McGowan said. “But it is indeed a sad day for our organization, the city of Portland and the NBA. Jerome will be remembered not only for his incredible contributions on the court, but his tremen- dous impact in our communi- ty.” Kersey lived with wife Teri in Lake Oswego.
