Perhaps to make slight amends for screwing Portland over by making 2003’s The Hunted here, Benicio del Toro showed up to talk to Stephen Colbert on Thursday wearing a vintage Portland Trailblazers t-shirt under his jacket.
Oddly enough, that was the second appearance by the Trailblazers on Comedy Central’s “news” shows this week. Tuesday, Jon Stewart — talking about the section of Illinois’ Senate designee Roland Burris’s mausoleum with a list of his many accomplishments headed “TRAIL BLAZER” — put up a picture of Burris as a member of the 1977 NBA champion team.
