    This dude would be a legend in today’s game.
    Was never the best rebounder but basically a 3&D 6’10 power forward that could play inside and out, etc, etc.

    If we had prime Cliff on this Rockets squad, we’d have this ring no doubt.

    RIP Cliff

    I always had him on my fantasy teams because he would get about a three, steal and block a game.

    If Cliff was on this Rockets club, he would be Jeff Green, no? They even have the same nickname,

    Sniffle. I'm sure I watched him countless times albeit I can't say I remember it. I just remember his name was synonymous with "helluva player!". RIP

    That's tragic. I really enjoyed those Blazers teams. I used to root for them against the Bulls.

    i dont think so. I have Cliff better than Jeff. I think definitively. He had 3 straight 20 ppg yrs for example. He made an all star team. Was 6th man of the year once.

    also taller. Not a dominant rebounder but it’d just be better to actually have a 6’10 player on the squad.

    Damn sad stuff. That’s 3 front court mainstays from the bust a bucket era that has passed.

    He's forever immortalized as "that Blazers guy who deflates" in the shot where MJ does the shrug after hitting his 6th 3 pointer and 30-something points in the first half. R.I.P. big dude. Died way too young.
