PORTLAND, Ore. — New Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside is making himself at home in Portland.
According to his SnapChat, Whiteside arrived in Portland on Sunday. He then recorded an Instagram story of himself Monday night, walking around downtown Portland with a friend, handing out Voodoo Doughnuts to people while yelling, "Go Portland! Go Blazers! Rip City!"
Reddit user derekabraham posted around 10 a.m. Monday that he saw Whiteside on Southwest 5th Avenue and West Burnside Street, "handing out Voodoo donuts to homeless people with a huge smile on his face and it was beautiful."
On the Instagram story, Whiteside also did an amusing impression of his "We got shooters!" video that went viral shortly after he was traded to Portland.
"You get some Voodoo Doughnuts. I got like three dozen," Whiteside said into the camera on Monday night. "Giving them out to the city! We giving them out to the city, man. We sharing love, man. More love, man. We don't do the hate, my man. Less hate, man."
