The greatest sixth man from each NBA team

Greatest sixth man in Portland Trail Blazers history: Clifford Robinson

The Portland Trail Blazers are in a way a degree or two removed from being chock-full of sixth men award winners. A number of players who won the award on another team found their way on the Trail Blazers at some point in their careers.

Bill Walton won MVP on the Trail Blazers before winning the award in Boston. Detlef Schrempf won the award twice in Indiana before filling a similar role in Portland. Jamal Crawford and Aaron McKie won at other stops as well.

The one Trail Blazer to bring home the award while in Portland was Clifford Robinson. The versatile forward played eight seasons to start his career with the Trail Blazers. He followed a similar career path to many on this list, working his way into the rotation and parlaying a strong sixth man campaign into a starting gig.

In 1992-93, Robinson was at his best as a sixth man averaging 19.1 points per game. He was a jack-of-all-trades, playing any frontcourt position when needed. After winning the Sixth Man of the Year award in 1993, he moved into the starting lineup and continued to find success.
