During tonight's game against the Utah Jazz on TNT, the commentator (not Reggie Miller but the other guy) was talking about the three goggles. He said it was created by Wes Matthews and Rudy Fernandez. Um...if you are talking about something on national television, shouldn't you have your facts straight??? Here is the real origin of the three goggles:
Patty Mills and Rudy Fernandez are good friends. Patty noticed that Rudy had trouble focusing on objects from far away, however at the time, Rudy was one of our leading 3 point scorers. Rudy would also hold up a "3" with his fingers after making a 3 point shot. So Patty put a little flavor into that. He created the three goggles. He said that even though Rudy couldn't see things far away, he was able to see when he shot the three, so he had his three goggles on.
And that sir, is how the three goggles with the Blazers truly originated. And also, they are not the "stupid symbol that you see in college games." It is something that has helped to unite our team and let them have fun. Have you seen how many injuries we've had? And do you see that we're still going to the playoffs? Why don't you just let us have our fun? Okay, thanks.
