The Portland Trail Blazers opened up their season Thursday with a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, and throughout the Moda Center in Portland, the team set up various tributes for late owner Paul Allen.
Allen died Monday at 65 due to complications with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He had owned the Trail Blazers since 1988 and they are the sports franchise he owned for the longest during his life. Allen, who was a co-founder of Microsoft, also owned the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and MLS's Seattle Sounders.
At Thursday's game, Portland left a "rip city" hat and a rose at Allen's baseline seat.
