I used to love watching you play. There were so many exciting moments in the 2008-2009 season with the fun Sergio alley-oop plays, no look passes, and watching you run down the court with three fingers out after hitting those 3's. Your game was fun to watch. I bought a Rudy Fernandez t-shirt. I had jumped on the bandwagon.
I defended you during the dunk contest. I said the competition was rigged (ok, I still believe that) and I blamed Pau Gasol for not being able to pass the ball behind his back correctly.
I was so angry with Trevor Ariza when he committed that flagrant foul against you. I still don't like the guy because of it.
This last season you were in a funk after coming back from your injuries. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I hoped that McMillan would keep playing you and that you would get your confidence back. I was excited for you when you got your start in the playoffs. I was pretty disappointed when you didn't show up, but I still defended you.
Then you do THIS!
I've had it with you, Rudy. I don't want you back. You have ruined your trade value and now we can't get anything for you. I hope you have to sit there for two years thinking about the fact that you made a mistake and nobody values you as much as you value yourself. You're not a starter in the NBA. The way you're talking, you must think you're on par with Lebron or Kobe. You don't have that game, but you apparently have that ego.
If you decide to come back to the Blazers I will cheer for you to do well because they are my team, but right now you are on my bad side. We don't deserve this from you. Get over yourself.
Go Blazers!
