Blazersedge 1/3 Season Awards--The Brandon Award

PrintIf you don't know what we're doing with these awards, just scroll down to the next few posts. You'll catch on.
Since we froze Brandon out of the M.V.P. voting to make it more fun we're creating a special category. This award is not for Brandon himself, but for you guys talking about Brandon. Specifically we want one-word or short-sentence descriptions of Brandon, his play, or what he means to the team. Pick whatever aspect of his game you want to talk about but only ONE entry per person. The word or short-sentence description that best explains Brandon's contributions so far this year will win a huge round of applause.
Have at it!
(Short sentences probably aren't much more than 10 words. Brevity will be rewarded, all other things being equal.)

Natural leader.

I vote for this one.
Brandon Roy just destroyed everything in his path. There's your rational analysis -- Dave
Portland Trail Blazer - in every sense of all three words.

I hate to break it to y'all, but Brandon Roy will forever be more of a Husky than a Trail Blazer.
There’s flat-out no doubt about it, even if you delusional folks lie to yourselves by thinking otherwise.

Brandon is TO us, wow, that's what I get for trying to type quickly and get my comment up at the top of the list
I’m sorry Chuck, it won’t happen again, I PROMISE!

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

Brandon in the epitome of the model team player.
On one of the youngest teams in the NBA it’s great to be under his leadership.

Whaddya mean you didn't see Brandon Roy??!!
Oh that’s right. You were defending him.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
Special
I’ve never seen a Trail Blazer do what he does.
Brandon Roy is the reason we have the word Pritchslap.
Bayless has been testing the fences for weaknesses

Brandon is the new Clyde
Just as long as he doesn’t play his brains out for years and then go to Houston to win two titles.

Brandon Roy confuses, concerns, and confounds the opposition
and he can create absolute bedlam
Paradoxical.
How can one be clutch and automatic at the same time?

The engine for this team
When things are going good, he can coast, but he always sets the pace, and when we’re in an uphill climb, he does all the hardest work.
Grumps Hollinger makes an appearance
http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=24188
"Evan (Portland, OR): If you were doing the NBA Awards Watch segment, where would you put Brandon Roy in the MVP race? Ahead of Joe Johnson I hope.
SportsNation John Hollinger: I can’t imagine making a list long enough to include either of them. Sorry. "
Guess Hollinger can’t count to like four or five. But then Dwayne Wade plays in the East and he’s more flashy and he does movies and commercials and all that ‘stuff’ so he’s clearly ahead of Roy.
Blazer Fan
Oh and Dwight Howard the guy you can't give the ball to the last two minutes of a game
Clearly more important than Roy.

I think the fact that you take them seriously and ask
speaks volumes. I pause for half a second, and others believe he is.
I believe wade is one of the top three players in the NBA. He’s the only guy i’ve seen really will a series since Jordan. Is Roy better? I don’t know. Would I take Roy over wade… that’s tough. Roy has the leadership and I wonder if Wade were here if he’d be putting up stats, but the blazers would still be in a hole.
I can’t go out and say that Wade is the fourth best player in the NBA, but I do think he’s the best player who’s the best for us.

#7 is that beacon of hope for all that is good in the future of professional sports.

Even in the snow with gloves on, Roy is clutch!

I guess he could be ok some day.
if only he were a smart, high b ball IQ player with deceptive athleticism, an imposing will and a killer instinct with a good work ethic and a great attitude. Too bad he’ll never be any of those things since he already reached his ceiling in his rookie year.

Hahahhahahha
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Roy's game at it's best can be summed up in two words:
TOTAL CONTROL
The other nine guys on the court can just sit down on the bus, relax and enjoy the scenery, cause Brandon’s driving.

A quiet, unassuming gentleman off the court ...
… and a stone cold killer on it.
He’s very similar to a young Marine NCO in Anbar Provence or infantry platoon Sargeant in the Kornegal valley. Mature ahead of his years, confident in his training, abilities and teammates, reassuring for his coolness under fire, a leader whose men look tboth in every day things and under pressure.
(I’d like to note that as fantasic as we all see Brandon Roy, the intangible things that I believe make him special are also on display every day by American men and women in uniform all over the world. We just don’t get to see it.)
hakkaa päälle !
Good on, good off.
Brandon Roy is good on the court and good off it too.
