Brandon Roy gets his first national magazine cover

Dime #48 features our boy Brandon Roy in his first national mag cover. Odd it took so long for a rookie of the year/two-time all-star.

That's great

I love that it’s a BBall shot. Most of their covers are G-d up tools (a la LBJ’s lame biting of the necklace). Glad the NBA still has players that like their jobs and aren’t trying to be rappers.

What is a magazine?

There won't be clean officiating in the NBA until David Stern is forcibly removed by the US Congress in 2013 for fixing games.

is it just me

or does Brandon seem to glow in all his pictures? Either he’s a demigod or he has a fantastic complexion.

He looks confused ;-)

They couldn’t find a picture where he is either more aggressive or more smiling?

Love It!!

I love that he is on a magazine. I will have to go out and buy that one. Agree though would have loved a more aggressive picture but I guess what they chose is more his style.

"There are a few teams you have to watch out for in the fourth quarter."
"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."

-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.

"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."

-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

sick

im out of compliments and gushes about roy, he’s a baller, straight up.

"In general, I hate the snap judgments. I hate the rush to predict things. I hate the sports culture that can't think of anything to say unless it is predicting things. I dislike the over-hyping and the following angst-ridden crashes. I dislike the overdrawn, over-simplified, nuance-free generalizations that sprout like weeds over the conversational landscape because accuracy and fairness and truth don't fit as neatly between commercials or quote as easily around the water cooler."

i run into the same problem

it’s hard to come up with new compliments, because you’ve already used them all on him.

Missing one thing...

Those half sideburns, beard things he likes to rock. Can someone tell me exactly what style that is? I’m thinking about growing some myself.

I think you’re right Tofu. I see Steve Blake, Rudy, and Nicolas Batum rockin’ the beard as well. It’s a chemistry thing. I’ve noticed it since Rudy’s bad fall.
