Steve Francis was known as the franchise.

Can’t be stealing a nickname from someone else. Definitely can’t steal it from someone who was less than the greatest.

on the contrary..

I think it’s a lot more reasonable to steal a nickname from someone who didn’t deserve it than from someone who did.

You’re gonna suggest that B-roy steal the nickname “Magic” rather than one from Steve “Expiring Contract” Francis?

That said, I think “The Franchise” is a pretty weak nickname. You can do better, fatty!

Actually, I think the age of the nickname has passed. Brandon’s game is sometimes described as “boring”. So is Tim Duncan’s. Fine with me— and Timmy didn’t need a fancy nickname. Imagine, his last name contains the word “dunk” and he never got a good nickname! Call him Brandon Roy… that ought to do it.

Roy has only "Just Arrived"

If you require validation from external sources. In many eyes Roy has been one of the best players in the L all year. I didn’t need the voters to tell me what I already know to be true.

hey fatty

So what you are saying is that if a blazer fan sees LMA and/or Oden as an important part of the team… or believe that they will continue to get better or even be great, that these same fans DON’T like or appreciate BROY? HUH?
I think you let your dislike of certain players get in the way. Do you think Roy would be second team if Durant were here taking 20 + shots a game making 40% of them?
As great as Roy is he needs Oden and Aldridge to for this team to continue down the road to a title. Hope you can admit your were wrong when these two young bigs prove you wrong in the very near future!

Welllll ....

…. I think we already know that Brandon Roy is a very special player. The only thing that has changed is that now we know the writers who cover the league think so as well.

And Brandon making 2nd team does nothing to take away from Aldridge, Oden or any other player on this team. If anything, the vote showed that LaMarcus may only be a season or so away from making it on the list. As for Greg, who knows at this stage. He only just completed his rookie season. Who is willing to take bets that he never makes the list? Not me.

I think never means never,

not “by 2011/2012.” Would you place a bet that Oden and Aldridge NEVER make all nba teams their whole career?

This is great for the Blazers as well as for Roy

When was the last time that Portland had anybody make the All-NBA team?

1992.

That’s a long drought…..

Roy’s election means not only more respect for him as a player and for what he’s accomplished (well-deserved respect!), but also gives more legitimacy to the Blazers as a franchise and to their run towards the Championship in the years to come.

And no need to make this wonderful moment confrontational, fatty. I’m glad you’re emotional about this award – I don’t know of one Blazer fan who isn’t. But being a fan of Roy’s doesn’t mean you can’t also appreciate the hard work and improvement of the other Blazers. Brandon would be the first to give praise to his teammates and we would all do well to follow his example.
