Called the CITY of ROSES and home to the Swoosh...NIKE, VETERANS Memorial Coliseum, the ROSE Garden, the 1977 NBA Champion RIP City BLAZERS behind Dr. Jack Ramsay, Big RED Walton, and Mo Lucas....the City of Portland, Oregon.

Not as populated as the City it often gets compared to in the Great Northwest Seattle, Washington but nonetheless just as talented when it comes to High School Basketball and on up.

Some of the Top High School Powers in the ROSE City:

Portland WILSON HS
Portland JEFFERSON HS
Portland GRANT HS
Lake OSWEGO OR HS
Portland JESUIT HS

The players out of these high schools are nationally known Top Tier Talent with one Kevin LOVE of 10K LAKES aka K-LOVE of Lake Oswego HS leading the most recent pack of RIP City Players to the LOGO.

The CITY of ROSES has obviously quality not quantity. The Best player out of the group before the emergence of K-LOVE was probably Danny Ainge the current GREEN Team GM. Damon STOUDAMIRE aka Mighty Mouse was a beast in college at Arizona and a really good pro player. He know works with the Memphis GRIZZLIES in their front office.

Before it is all said and done K-LOVE might be the greatest player ever out of the City of ROSES but for now they have a few guys holding down their rep and one coming in UK WILDCATS' Terrance Jones.
