As a Clippers fan, it goes without saying that the Blazers get on my nerves a bit. But even I have to put my biases aside when it comes to a player keeping it real off the court.
Oregon State student Calder Johnson was at a Safeway Monday night when he randomly came across Blazers big man Noah Vonleh. Like any fan, Johnson’s first instinct was to land an autograph, but he only had one viable item: his weed grinder.
I assume a grinder has the potential to throw off millionaire athletes, but remember, this is an NBA player (check!) who plays in Portland (check!)… it was all good for Noah:

And just like that, Calder started a Pacific Northwest specific autograph fad.
