Sharing Stories °f Portland
Many times when the story of Portland is told it comes by way
of a singular community sharing their story in isolation. Rarely do
diverse communities come together to share their oral histories.
That is why this Saturday, May 11 Irvington Covenant Church
will serve as host to “Shared,” an event where Portland residents
of varied backgrounds, races, and ages will orally share their
stories about the city from the 1940s through the 1960s.
Located at 4046 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., the event
will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Contact Tory Campbell at
503-287-5226 for more information.

Trail Blazers poses with the
Eddie Gottlieb Trophy after
winning the 2012-13 Kia NBA
Rookie o f the Year award.
all 82 games this season.
He broke Stephen Curry's rookie
record for 3-pointers in a season,
finishing with 185, and became just
the third NBA rookie with at least
1,500 points and 500 assists, follow­
ing O scar Robertson and Alan
Iverson.
And he swept all six o f the
league's R ookie o f the M onth
awards this season.
"I can't stop smiling," Lillard said
when he was awarded the Eddie
Gottlieb Trophy on Wednesday.
Lillard is the fourth player in
league history to win the Rookie of
the Year unanimously, joining Blake
Griffin in 2011, David Robinson in
1990 and Ralph Sampson in 1984.
All season Lillard has been win­
ning accolades from across the
league.
"He's fantastic, really fantastic,"
Kobe Bryant said after the two
squared off in a game earlier this
month. "A lot of players get hot, but
he's got the moves, the patience,
intelligence, the balance on his jump­
ers. He's the real deal."
UtahJazzforwardDeMarre Carroll
is also a fan.
"He's a complete player," Carroll
said. "He's a young guy but you've
got to give him credit, he plays hard
and the team really relies on him.
He's not afraid to take the big shot.
The sky's the limit." .
At the ceremony to announce
the award at the Rose Garden Arena,
the smartly dressed guard spoke
about his upbringing in Oakland
and how it shaped him as a hard­
working player.
He was disappointed when he
broke his foot to start his junior
season at W eber State, because he
had hopes of jumping to the NBA.
He redshirted, and came back the
next season to earn All-American
honors. He was voted the Big Sky's
Most Valuable Player.
Lillard is the fourth Blazer to win
the Rookie of the Year award, join­
ing Geoff Petrie (1971), Sidney
Wicks (1972) and Brandon Roy
(2007).
