Devastated with the passing of one of the best teammates ever - Clifford Robinson.
Guy absolutely loved to hoop. Never missed practice. Guarded the toughest guy every night and was a walking bucket.
A great dad. Laughed every day.

I'm heartbroken to look back at this moment. Cliff Robinson was so important to his #Blazers teams and I always enjoyed competing against him. Another brother who left us long before his time. You'll be missed, Uncle Cliffy. RIP @UncleCliffy30 @trailblazers pic.twitter.com/bA2HWpM8iv
