Brandon Jr. entertains (and interrupts) Kevin Pritchard.
Distract the kid with toy cars so Dad can talk!
A familiar scene.
An overjoyed, yet still focused, player.
A proud, relieved General Manager.
Brandon's monogrammed shirt and cuff link.

Brandon has the bird flu?!

i can't believe little man-Roy has on a sponge bob shirt
Where’s his Blazers gear? My little man wears blazers gear to attend blazers events and ducks gear for ducks stuff. I mean, if I can afford that stuff, I’m pretty sure B. Roy can! LoL
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
Little Lord B-Roy would have worn Dawg stuff -that's why!
Brandon Roy is a Blazer – but he’s also a Husky. All the little ‘Ducks’ wouldn’t have wanted to to have to ‘Bowdown to Washington’ at a Blazer Press Conference.
B-Roy Jr. will be signing with the Huskies in just 15 years. Can’t wait! If Krypto-Nate’s son joins, that’d be a helluva back court!
Woof!

What a G...
monogrammed shirts… straight ballah
No one will ever accuse me of being a fashion plate,
but monograms on the cuff? Where everyone can see them? Not a good look, IMO.
If he is one of the few that does it, or if he started it...
I’ll still give him credit. I think it looks kind of cool, but at the same time I agree, it is pretty tacky when you think about it.
*Unless KP has a secret plan that makes this statement incorrect.
Yeah. He should have had his name tatooed on his back. Now that's classy.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wannna be like roy…POW!!!

And now that he is gonna be a Blazer for life
he can get the Jersey Stripes tattooed across his abdomen.
It's pretty common on custom-tailored items
And I consider myself an expert (kidding!)
Dictated, not read. The management.
thats cute
again, great writeup ben

How long until we can draft Brandon Jr?
He could be that complementary scorer for his dad.
Gold colored, tailored shirt...
on the day he announces he just signed for roughly $80,000,000.
I love it.
But I like to be here. Oh, I like it a lot! Said the Cat in the Hat. To the fish in the pot.

B-Roy Jr. = New Blazers Mascot...
Blaze is so Jail Blazers era. We could def. get that kid doing some sweet trampoline back flip dunks.

Best quote of the interview (from the O-live transcript)
I don’t know about some of the other superstars; they have ideas about other places. But I couldn’t imagine being anywhere but here in Portland…If I could have done 10, I would have done that.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
Best part of the Press Conference.
Knowing that this is where he really wants to be only makes him that much better to have around.
It must be kinda embarassing for Cleveland fans rooting for a guy who so badly wants to leave town.

Gotta Love This Guy...
Pretty obvious statement but we are lucky to have a gentleman like this as the face of our franchise!.. It’s easy to forget that he’s only been in the league 3 years… he’s just going to keep getting better.
I’m feelin’ pretty dang optimistic about,“Our Portland Trailblazers” (is it October yet?..)
GO BLAZERS!!!
Now he can afford a lot of toy cars for himself and Brandon Jr.
Heck, he might even be able to buy the Spongebob franchise if he wanted. Or at least have Spongebob and his friends come to Junior’s next birthday party.

He kinda looks like anyone who's just hit the lottery...
oh wait, he did. (and deservedly so)
Portland's PG of the Future - Meet John Wall
Treat people well because Karma can hit you at any second.
I don't like how he is stunting Bayless' growth
Roy already ruined Sergio’s career… how many young PGs will he be jealous of and try to ruin before he’s done?
Mortimer
...Not in the least
He is the face of our franchise and is also climbing into the elite player status in this league. Of course he won’t get as much burn cuz we aren’t on the east coast. Whatever we’ll just keep winning. Regular season cannot get hear fast enough!!
Best... signing... ever.

Blazers Prophecy.
3-5 championships in next decade.
You heard it here first.
Broys shirt was gold
It truly fit the occasion!

where are the shoes?
or were they only dressed from waist up for the interview?
"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.
I'm gonna make my 3 yr old cousin target him for her future husband lol
BJ, I mean, not Brandon
Blazers win!
Ah...
So, I came from teh Yahoo forums, where I saw a guy claim that B. Roy got overpayed because he “Can only shoot Jump Shots”.
I almost died. It should’ve only been “I fell off my chair laughing” but, I actually fell on my dog, and she wasn’t too happy about it…
Anyways, congratulations to Brandon, and Gooooooooooo Blazers!!!!!!
Where's his daughter?
He never brings her around. Cute son. Bad shirt.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
