The Darius Miles story has been all over the sidebar. 3ShadesofBlue has an interesting take on it. My general response: No matter how seriously you take the offenses or not, isn't it nice that these are somebody else's issues to deal with? We're 2000% more likely to be discussing Brandon Roy's wallpaper choices than his rap sheet. I kind of like it that way.
Also as Jason Quick has noted Brandon Roy has won the Magic Johnson award, which recognizes the combination of on-court excellence and media/fan relations. The Trail Blazers PR staff was voted as the best in the league as well. Both designations come courtesy of the Pro Basketball Writers Association. Both are well-deserved.
