Paul Allen Team Quotations

If I have to sell the team or if it can't continue, that will be sad. But sports franchises really only work if the community and ownership are in a mutually beneficial partnership.

I've really enjoyed being the owner of the Trail Blazers. I've tried hard to bring the city a championship. Now we are in a tough rebuilding process with a broken financial model. We have asked for help in fixing it. If I have to sell the team or if it can't continue, that will be sad.

The Super Bowl. Wow! It's mind-blowing if you're a fan, how great it is to think of your team winning the Super Bowl.

I think we got over the hump today. I told the team we don't have to talk about 1984 anymore.

He's a very prideful individual and a very sensitive individual. And he saw the team go on a winning streak without him. I think he kind of took it personally.

Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.

In the computer industry, you've got an interdisciplinary team of people who can come together, attack the problem, and work in a collaborative style. You knock down one problem after another, cobble things together, and then hopefully turn the crank at some point.

I'm just really excited and proud of what we've been able to accomplish. I've been a patient owner of the franchise, and to see the city and the region rally around the team has been really heart-warming.

Its incredible. I'm just really happy for the fans and the community. Everybody has supported the team all these years. And this year has been a special year n especially for the fans and the community.
