So we here in Portland obviously realize the greatness that is Brandon Roy, as the MVP chants last night clearly showed.  Well, looks like someone else is getting in on the act.  In Jack McCallum's Inside the NBA column on SI.com, he has a Christmas Wish List for each team in the league, and here is his Blazers entry:

"Portland Trail Blazers -- Whatever the opposite of a reality check is for Brandon Roy, get him that. He doesn't need to wake up. He needs to keep playing the way he's playing, which, during this improbable Blazers winning streak, is like the best player in the league."

That's right: "Playing like the best player in the league."  I guess that even if NBA.com and SportsCenter don't deem his MJ imitation worthy of Top 10 Play status, at least someone has figured out that Roy belongs with the league's elite.  Anybody have David Thorpe's e-mail?
