This doll came out in 1998. Portland didn’t have a #1 on the roster at the time.
The player to most recently wear #1 for Portland at that time was Rod Strickland. The player to wear #1 after the doll came out was… Rod Strickland.
Yup Strickland was here from 93-96 and then came back for a year in 01. That must have made Barbie happy to see since she was still rocking his number even after he left.
Edit: More dumb random info. Strickland was the first Blazers player to wear #1. 23 years without anyone wearing it, but since then another 8 players have including Simons right now.
