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,

At 6-foot-7 and 215
pounds, “No Mercy” Kersey
had a broad smile and a warm
manner that made him a fan
favorite.

died Wednesday at age 52.

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.
