The atmosphere surrounding the Blazer team has totally changed. Instead of gang bangers and thugs hanging around the locker room, there are now babies and baby's mommas. In addition there are even wives and family members.
I have read that Aldridge has a remarkable work ethic. It showed tonight vs. Spurs. The guy put up 27, but only 3 rebounds. According to the trainer, Aldridge has a workout routine equal to the great Scotty Pippen.
