The Maurice Lucas Foundation has taught me about my potential and how to get it. I need to work hard and stay focused. This program also taught me everything can’t go my way and there will be bumps in the road. I have dedicated three years because the program helped me to believe in myself and to achieve my dreams and think of new ones. The most important pillar to me is positivity. Positivity to me is making someone else smile and making their day better than yesterday.”

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.
