European awards and honors
European players in the NBA are currently eligible for three prestigious continent-wide awards for their performances with their club and national teams:
 * Mr. Europa, awarded since 1976 by the Italian weekly magazine Superbasket
 * Euroscar, awarded since 1979 by the Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport
 * FIBA Europe Player of the Year Award, awarded since 2005 by FIBA Europe and based on voting by fans and a continent-wide panel of basketball experts, journalists, and coaches

Two Blazers players have won at least one of these awards while in Portland.
 * Dražen Petrović won the Euroscar in 1989, a year that he started with Real Madrid and finished with the Blazers. Before coming to Portland, he swept the Euroscar and Mr. Europa in 1986, and after being traded to the New Jersey Nets, he won the Euroscar again in 1992 and won both awards posthumously in 1993.
 * Arvydas Sabonis, like Petrović before him, won the Euroscar in the year he arrived from Real Madrid, 1995. Sabonis swept Mr. Europa and the Euroscar in 1997, and won the Euroscar again in 1999. During his previous career in the former Soviet Union, Sabonis won the Euroscar in 1984 and 1988, and both awards in 1985.

Hall of Fame and Top 50 players
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, located in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, honors players who have shown exceptional skill at basketball, all-time great coaches, referees, and other major contributors to the game. In 1996, the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (also referred to as the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team or NBA's Top 50) were chosen by a panel of media, former players and coaches, current and former general managers and team executives. Five Trail Blazers players have been inducted into the Naismith Hall solely as players, and the team had four players selected to be in the NBA's Top 50 Players list. The Blazers have also had one coach inducted into the Naismith Hall exclusively in that capacity. Finally, Lenny Wilkens, who both played for and coached the Blazers, is one of only three individuals to have been inducted into the Naismith Hall in both roles.


 * Clyde Drexler. Hall of Fame, Top 50.
 * Dražen Petrović. Hall of Fame. Also a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame.
 * Arvydas Sabonis. Hall of Fame. Also a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame.

 * Scottie Pippen. Hall of Fame, Top 50.
 * Coach Dr. Jack Ramsay — Hall of Fame, coached the team to their only NBA title in 1977.

The Blazers have had three players inducted to the FIBA Hall of Fame. In addition to Petrović (inducted as part of the inaugural class in 2007) and Sabonis (inducted in 2010), Fernando Martín, who played for the Blazers in the 1986–87 season, was inducted alongside Petrović.
