With the 36th pick of the 1989 Draft, the Portland Trailblazers selected...Clifford Robinson. And of the 54 players selected that night, only Robinson is still wearing an NBA uniform. One player, Danny Ferry, is a general manager! Peter Vecsey of the Post pays homage to the man they call "Uncle Cliffy", noting how the player and person he is today little resembles who he was back then. And Dave D'Alessandro of the Star-Ledger points up just how good that 39-year-old person and player are today.
