Brandon Roy used to be one of the brightest young stars in the NBA. He came into the league and contributed right away to a Blazers team that really needed him. Unfortunately, as the years went by....things didn't go as planned.

@Jarekthegamingdragon 5 лет назад

You missed one very important part of the blazers bad luck. Having the soviets keep Sabonis from playing with the blazers til he was old. If the blazers got sabonis when they drafted him, the blazers would have had PRIME SABONIS on the early 90's blazers teams that already went to the finals twice. The 90's could have easily been blazers era. Awful luck.

@batonrougehistoryclass5194 3 года назад

Facts. Sabonis would’ve been a top 10 center if he came when drafted.

@theblazingblaziken1951 3 года назад

From what we saw i think he could have been a top 5 center all time, he tore both of his Achilles by the time he came to the nba and he still was great for the blazers. Kobe ruptured one of his and his career was over. Its the worst injury and after having it twice he was still great. I dont want to imagine a prime sabonis

That's what happens when you rely on your athleticism too much and not learn fundamentals and learn to shot with arms not legs 60% of the time cuz how good Penny, Hill and Rose was they was very explosive going to the rim which puts lots of stress on your legs over years. Roy was fundamentally sounded but he had arthritis in his knees since high school it got worse over the years and it caught up to him when he got to the NBA, just lucky to see him tear it up for the 5 years he was playing.

Roy and Oden stayed healthy with LMA the Blazers would have been dynasty lasting at least a decade, winning 2, 3, 4 or more rings, reaching their most dominant level when they all simultaneously reached their primes. It's scary to think about how good they would have been considering the fact they were 52-10 when all playing together as young 1st/2nd to 3rd/4th year players, imagine how good they would have been a few years latter as they all continue to get better and better.

@pearlmax 5 лет назад

Do you expect a negative Nancy to say something positive? Apparently worst luck in history means you only won one championship, and have made the playoffs in 75% of the 50 years the franchise has existed, picked multiple stars out of the draft. Teams with no championships, far less playoff appearances and consistently shitty rosters are far more lucky. This is the problem with RU-vid, any dipshit can start making videos and get views by piggybacking off of brands, trademarks, copyright, ect.

@Sunsn7 4 года назад

In 2010 Kobe was asked who was harder to guard, Kevin Durant or Brandon Roy. Kobe's response: "Roy. 365 days. 7 days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game." Now we know KD was in only his 2nd season in 2010 but that is very lofty praise from one of the greatest, fiercest competitors in the game. Basketball fans have missed out and basketball history is missing some special moments because of the injuries to Brandon Roy, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Amare Stoudemire. Suns coach Monty Williams compares Devin Booker to him. Quite a compliment..and one that is well deserved!

Walton injured his foot and was never the same. Bowie had leg injuries and was eventually traded away. Sabonis barred from playing in the US during his prime due to tension between Russia and the US. Oden talented but injuries prevented him from reaching his potential. Roy forced to retire early due to arthritis in his knees. Nurkic breaks his leg during his statistically best season of his career on A blazers team that has the deepest bench in the west and was looking to fight its way to the conference finals. CJ Mcullom injures his knee against the spurs and misses ten games. He is back now but he looks rusty and I don't think he will be dropping 22 points per game in the playoffs. Is this team cursed or what?
