Bonzi Wells spent nearly eight years getting this story made before Netflix finally said yes.
Wells joins Front Office Sports alongside Damon Stoudamire to revisit the early-2000s Portland Trail Blazers teams that had the talent to reach back-to-back Western Conference Finals—and still became known as the “Jail Blazers.” They discuss how that label followed them for decades, its racial undertones, and how they are reclaiming their narrative.
They also get into how today’s NBA and college landscape—from NIL to social media—might have changed everything for their era, and the changing tides in Pacific Northwest basketball.
