DUCKWORTH TRAIL BLAZING TO HEAVEN AT 44 If you remember the two Portland teams that got in the Finals in the early 90’s, then you probably knew this guy. Kevin… freaking… Duckworth. He wore a big, fat double-zero across his back and his face reminded us a bit on that big ogre-like goon from Revengeaaa
