Trail Blazers Release Epic 'Never Doubt Rip City' Commercial

Nobody saw the Portland Trail Blazers coming this year.

Except, perhaps, the Blazers themselves.

After Portland lost four starters (including star forward LaMarcus Aldridge) over the summer, it was difficult to expect much from the team in 2015-16.

And yet, here we are. With fewer than 20 games left, the Blazers sit at No. 7 in the Western Conference at 33-31.

Damian Lillard has been playing at an MVP level after getting snubbed from the All-Star Game. C.J. McCollum is a near lock to win Most Improved Player. Terry Stotts is as deserving as anyone of Coach of the Year honors.

Listen to the commercial, people. Never doubt Rip City.
