About the Foundation

The foundation is named in honor of Maurice Lucas (1952-2010), the starting forward on the 1977 NBA champion Portland Trail Blazers team. Besides his outstanding achievements on the court, Lucas also gave selflessly of his time and energy to Portland youth. The Maurice Lucas Foundation focuses on middle school kids in the Portland metro area. The foundation teaches life lessons through sport. After school programs, sports camps and outings change the lives of the youths who participate. Since its formation, 436 students have successfully completed the foundation’s academies and hundreds of others have participated in its sports programs.

The Maurice Lucas Foundation has taught me the seven pillars, the 3 D’s (Discipline + Diligence + Determination = Hard Work) and the equation for being a leader. They have taught me to make good decisions for myself and that my education is the most important thing and that no one can take it away from me. To the foundation I want to say thank you for making the path broad for success and narrow for destruction.

  • On today’s date in 1977, Warrior legend Maurice Lucas scored a career playoff-high of 29 points for the Portland Trailblazers, hitting 14 field goals and one of two free throws to lead Portland to a 96-83 win over Artis Gilmore and Norm Van Lier's Chicago Bulls in Game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs' first round. After averaging 20.2 points and 11.4 rebounds per game during the regular season, Lucas and Hall of Famer Bill Walton would lead the Trailblazers past the Bulls, 2 games to 1, then past David Thompson and Dan Issel's Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semi-finals, 4 games to 2. Lucas and his Trailblazers would then go on to sweep Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Cazzie Russell, and former teammate and fellow Warrior legend Earl Tatum's Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals before knocking off George McGinnis, Darryl Dawkins and Julius Erving's Philadelphia 76ers to win the 1977 NBA Championship in 6 games.
