@basketballnoise: Billy Ray Bates hadn't played in weeks. His coach benched him because he was hurting the team. But when Portland needed a spark — they called his number. Eight points in 57 seconds. The Blazers never looked back. Most people don't know this story. Do you remember him? #BillyRayBates #Portland TrailBlazers #NBAHistory #NBALegends #BasketballHistory
