(Portland, OR) -- Oregon U.S. Senator Ron Wyden is asking the Portland Trail Blazers to honor iconic players Bill Walton and Maurice Lucas with a statue outside of the Moda Center. Walton died last week and Lucas died in 2010. Both players helped lead the Trail Blazers to the NBA championship in 1977. Wyden says Walton was always ready to use his platform as a player to speak out against injustice and for the equal treatment of both Black Americans and Native Americans.
