On the day Nurkic does what no other NBA player has ever been recorded having done, 20+ points, 20+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 5+ steals and 5+ blocks, an Original Owner of the Portland Trailblazers, Larry Weinberg, passes away...New Year's Day.
It was Weinberg, who sold the franchise to Paul Allen in 1979, so Weinberg could concentrate on the Seattle Seahawks. Very close ties here.
Weinberg spent an entire year in a military hospital during World War II.
His company produced 8,000 new homes per year.
