Today's Poll -- Brandon Roy Is Edition

No voting today.  We're going to flip the script a little bit and play complete the sentence.... I'll start you off with "Brandon Roy is..." and then you add whatever it takes to properly describe the man, the myth, the developing legend. But you only get 1 sentence.   Feel free to manipulate your sentence like Brandon manipulates defenses; use and abuse semi-colons, colons, and commas however you like.  But, remember, you only get 1 sentence.

Creativity is the name of the game.  Rec your favorite entries in the comments -- and rec as many as you like.  Brandon doesn't seem to have a ceiling right now so neither should our recs.  

The best entries will find their way on to the main page.

Good luck!

-- Ben (benjamin.golliver@gmail.com)

... the reason I started watching hoops again.

Seriously. I started to watch Husky Basketball, and noticed this guy who could get his shot off everytime, but recognized it wasn’t in the best interests for the team. Watching him grow at the UW got me excited about hoops again, and was quite happy he ended up in Portland. I will admit I never thought he would be an All-Star type player, however.

Brandon Roy is...

…The Reason!

I know Wheels started calling BRoy “the natural,” but one of the bloggers/podcasters suggested this as his new nickname, and I’m all for it! He’s the reason this team is better than anyone (including us Blazer Maniacs) thought they would be, because he’s better than anyone (at least me) thought he ever would be, and he’s only in his 3rd season! And unlike “The Natural,” “The Reason” hasn’t been used before and isn’t taken from an old baseball movie.

The Truth? no The Answer? No The Reason? Boo Ya!

Let’s start a movement to change Roy’s nickname to “The Reason!”

by BustABucket25 on Dec 19, 2008 9:50 AM PST reply actions

Brandon himself seems to like “The Natural”, probably the favored nickname of any kid growing up in Seattle in the 80s/90s.

this post reminds me...

of Magic Johnson. (I know, a forbidden L*kers reference. Nonetheless.)

There are a lot of similarities between their games. Magic, also, was an oversized guard, a great passer who didn’t want to be the point guard, a clutch shooter, a super competitor, a basketball genius. I hated him when he beat the Blazers, but I always respected him as a special player.

What are you impressions of Roy?
"He's just a very, very good basketball player. Very smart. Very heady. He can do a little bit of everything on the court. As coaches, when we scout Portland we kind of put him in the same category as Kobe (Bryant), LeBron (James), Dwyane Wade. We treat him the same. He's that good."

And before you say Walton, remember that he only did it for a few seasons, and his dominance ended forever in April of 1978 (age 25 years, 5 months).

And before you say Drexler, watch the videos of his pancake jump shot, and remember his lack of clutch (Porter was the clutch player) at the end of games.

I must concur

I’d like to see James or Kobe make that turn around fade away three-pointer with .8 left on the clock with time to spare to win the game, which, only came as the result of a foul which was the only action possible (on Brandon’s part) that leads to a Blazer win in those circumstances.

UNDERCOVER. As in “Undercover” just dropped 52 points on the Suns. I think it is a fitting nick name. You?

Good people. Dedicated. Team oriented. David Stern’s dream. The time of the street-cred-types has come and gone. Brandon Roy is the embodiment of a new millenium NBA player.

And that’s the truth.

52 is long, but 10 for Brandon. Brandon Roy is.....

1. a favorite player of mine
2. great player on the court, and great guy off it
3. my repellent against those who hate me for Blazers love ( people mention things like Jail Blazers and when I mention Brandon people back off is what I mean by repellent )
4. is in need of a SLAM cover
5. is in need of a SLAM up ( poster I really need at home )
6. is the man ( I wrote as much in the TRASH TALK section of SLAM )
7. is a player with lots of good years ahead ( after last night that is safe to say )
8. is why I want to see a Trail Blazers game
9. is an MVP candidate
10. is part of why I am proud to be a Trail Blazers fan

GO BLAZERS! Brandon is the man.

Brandon Roy is from Spain, isn´t he?

Well, he should be, because I love him so much and I´m supposed to be a Spanish homer.

Brandon Roy is

becoming a basketball superstar in the context of being a wonderful human being and thus his achievements are less about personal glory and all about team success and, by extension, the success of all mankind (to the extent that any one person can metonymically evoke what is best in all of us) and in that — the true occasion for joy.
