I'm a Mavs fan but when the violins and choir came in and Roy took over the game I teared up. Sports are beautiful man... Respect to Roy.
AirdropSneakers I remember the Mavs saying Portland was there toughest challenge that year witch speaks volumes
Never forget how electric it was at the RG that day. If you're a fan of BRoy, you know how hard that season was for him. 3 time AS reduced to 6th man, and probable early retirement, right in the prime of his career. Nobody wanted to believe it was happening. Blazer Nation, even B himself was in denial. Truth was he was finished. But for 1 Sunday in April, he turned back the clock and put in his most clutch performance ever. I get chills when I hear Wheel's call of the 4 pt play because I remember the lows from that season. I still get sad when I think about B, but watching this helps drown the sorrows.
MrNotoriousKEV wheels made me cry during that call I felt so good for B Money (that was always my nickname for him)
ROY could have been a top-50 player all time had he been healthy. Certainly a HOF'er. He had size with insanely smooth and sneaky athleticism. He posterized Chiek Samb. Anyone remember that XD?
HE WAS THE HARDEST PLAYER TO GUARD according to Kobe and Ron Artest both being quoted saying that. He had a first step that was so smooth yet fast bc of his size. one of the GOAT!!
Long live #7
GO BLAZERS!!
To be honest he never hit his prime. He was injured since college. Just more injuries in the NBA decided his career. He still was impressive. Wish we could have got a healthy Roy for 13-16 seasons.
I remember this like it was yesterday. I cry just about every time i re-watch it. Never say never fans like Blazer fans and guys like Roy are what make this game special
Can't agree with you more. Goosebumps and tears. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this......
i cry too. think: Lillard, Roy., Batum,. Aldridge & Fropez in the starting unit, none could have stopped us. injuries. all good.
Jessica McIntosh I hear what you are saying, but if Roy and Oden had stayed healthy, we wouldn't have been in the position to get Lillard in the first place.
Brian Newell Or maybe you would. Billy King would still remain dumb no matter what.
Andre Miller has never been so excited ! haha
Can't believe it's been 8 years
This was exactly one year ago. Greatest game I ever witnessed by Brandon Roy to lift his team to the victory. Roy no one has ever forgotten you and you are forever a LEGEND in PORTLAND
#TheReason The reason Portland started believing, the reason why they televised Portland on National TV. The reason more and more seats became occupied, he's the guy who rescued the franchise from the worst phase in history 'Jail blazer' era. Brandon Roy is Portland's super hero. Blazers being the only true major sport in Oregon, makes Brandon Roy a true North West Hero. My all time favorite
Brandon Roy the kid was amazing! Sad time back then, but Roy was our hero! If only we still had him.
5:20 gives me goosebumbs to this day. I was deep in the nosebleeds when i witnessed this, and this was when i fell in love with basketball.
Since I've been watching NBA Basketball, there were 4 outstanding performances:
Thompson had the perfect quarter
Kobe scored 81
T-Mac destroyed the Spurs in the 4th Quarter with 13 Pts in 35 sec
Roy lead the Blazers Comeback vs. Dallas
But Roy impressed me the most, he had such a special, easy looking, magical and smooth game, which I've never seen again. He is not such an actor like Lebron, he is still on earth with both legs, despite the fact he is probably one of the best players of all time! His Retirement could make me cry every day :-( will never forget you #7 keep ya head up and enjoy life :-)
+OneDollaBill88 okay calm down. this doesnt compare to any of the other three you listed and is prob not in the top 20 in the last 10 years.
well, if you consider his knee problems and so on, it is defenetily one of the greatest playoff performances of all time ... he equalized such a huge difference by only focusing on the money time, because he couldn't play more. Changing your style because of an injury and being successful with it is very hard
and btw, the best defenders in the league said, he was the hardest player to defend at this time! Not Kobe, not Lebron, not Melo ...
+OneDollaBill88 this may just be my opinion, but nate robinson's 25 point 4th quarter vs the Miami Heat in 2013 first round was pretty specatular as well.
Every time I watch this, I fell goosebumps.One of the greatest comebacks in NBA history, without a doubt.Good luck Brandon,whatever job you decide to do with your career wish you the best.
I remember watching this game. I was so happy for Brandon Roy. From double-knee surgery to this. He deserved the redemption.
Career Stats: 18.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 4.7 APG, 1.0 SPG
Career Accomplishments: 3x All-Star, 2x All-NBA honors, Rookie of the Year (2007)
Teams: Blazers, Timberwolves
When Kobe Bryant says you have no weaknesses in your game, that's saying something. At one time, Brandon Roy was arguably the third-best shooting guard behind Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade. Simply put, he was the Tim Duncan of shooting guards and who knows where "The Natural" would've placed in the NBA history books if injuries hadn't got the best of him.
Agreed. Brandon Roy better get a ESPN 30:30 Doc. HOF for sure if played more. POR with LMA, ROY and of course Oden would have changed the course of NBA history. Incredible that 6 years after drafting Roy 6th they Drafted Lillard 6th.
While I do not cry when I watch this, I do get excited like I am watching it live. I am watching again tonight in honor of the return to the playoffs.
Hey, I saw your earlier comment. I know he's not dead but I can see how my wording gave off that impression. I meant that since he's no longer playing, I miss tuning in and watching him go against the NBA's elite.
bigger man than me. I teared up. I hope Roy knows his impact in portland.
Never forget. We love you ROY!
I get more goosebumps watching broy than anyone else. he had the best character on and off the court, what made him almost unstoppable was his uncanny shot selection and his ability to take over games in the 4th. one of the best who never made it. Rookie of the year and multiple all stars in 5 years. MISS YOU BRAH
I watched this game in person. I lived in Portland my whole life and Brandon Roy is my favorite player so this almost made me cry.
My heart stopped when Terry shot that three, he didn't miss a shot before the game. Never been so pissed off to being absolutely ecstatic before in such a small amount of time, truly amazing. Brandon Roy will always remain as one of my favorite players of all time. Go Portland.
I was at the game. No one wanted to leave. We all wanted to stay in that moment. But as we left, the 20 minutes we all shared making our way out of the Rose Garden, two chants filled the halls: "Let's go Blazers" and "Brandon Roy" - Most amazing NBA moment in my life time. Dude re-built the Rose Garden and put it on his back this game. Great vid!
My daughters 1st game a great memory we will always have!!
Knowing that he’s done but he’s in denial… that all heart man… all heart.
His passion and love for the game tells it all. He’s almost unstoppable… that comes from the best of the best (kobe and artest) . That night, most of the player with his situation would rather sit it out because they don’t have those knees anymore… but roy is one of a kind… he played through the pain and led his team for a W… it sucks man… those freaking injuries ended his career… a BRoy fan for life here 💪
I still come back to this watch this whenever I'm feeling down. Look forward to seein you play your heart out this year B. Roy!
Something I can never and will never forget. The first coherent memory I have from a game I’ve watched was this game. The pure love we all have for that game is always sparked by something, it being a moment, or an experience. This was that for me. The chills to this day place me back in that room, the sun just peaking through the heavy clouds and the game on. The feeling of pride that the man I’d just seen do what he did with the pain I could barely even imagine he was going through. Absolutely legendary.
This always makes me cry. Thanks for the best memory, Brandon.
Watched this hundreds of times now..... Still gets me emotional. #7 forever.
Gives me goosebumps every time I watch that comeback... BROY - Awesomeness.
just want to say what a great edited video bro. one of the best on youtube of all time. great job
@6:12 Andre Miller "YES YES YES NO ONE WILL REMEMBER ALL MY EASY MISSED LAYUPS NOW"
Being at this game will forever be one of the greatest highlights of my life as I’m a longtime blazer fan and as Brandon Roy was my favorite player thus far and getting to see him turn back time and bring us back by sheer will alone was magical! Rg was going nuts and Dallas has no chance when Roy was pumping up the crowd. I rooted for Dallas after and was happy that we pushed them harder then anyone in the playoffs!
I was at this game and it was the best game ever! My homeboy was onfire! Miss you Broy! Never4getyou! Blazer4life! After we won this game I was being bear hugged by this guy behind me !:)
Every time I watch this I get chills. What a great player. You will be missed.
I was at this game...driving home The city of Portland looked like it just won the championship. Love this team, this town, this place we call RIP CITY. Great video.
Yes I'm still coming back here and watching this video in Dec of 2018.
I watched this game on a computer in a hotel in Sevilla, Spain. One of the more surreal experiences of my life. It was 1 AM or so when this ended and I could feel the joy thousands of miles from home.
thanks for the memories. ROY will always be remembered as one of blazers greatest.
Short of Michael Jordan, I don't know if there has ever been a storybook ending for a player like Brandon.
The most inspiring moment on a basketball court that I have ever seen.
So beautiful. So eloquently done. Bravo, guys!
Grittiest comeback I've ever seen. I've watched or listened to every NBA game BRoy ever played, so for my money, that's as good as it gets. Basketball will miss Brandon Roy.
I was at that game and it still gives me goosebumps to remember what I saw. Best game ever and I've been going to Games since the mid 80's.
I still have this game on my DVR from last April, I still get goose bumps every time I watch it. @pinwheelempire great job on this video, I can't believe I haven't seen this yet! 5 short seasons and Brandon is my favorite player of all time, surpassing Clyde after he ditched PDX and claimed H-Town for life. B-Roy forever! GO BLAZERS!
I'm a blazer fan i love Brandon Roy since 2007 when he came into the league. I witnessed the inception of this team with building blocks of Oden, Aldridge and Roy. So much drama happens and ultimately this video shows the End of that era. The fact that you're seeing this video gives you a hint how loyal and passionate the blazer fans are. I believe there are no bandwagon fans for the blazers. This franchise has a soul no other team has through bad times and good the fans are always there.
I miss Brandon so much!! Him winning coach of the year brought me back and watching his old tapes though it makes me happy it also makes me sad! One of my favourite blazers I still rock his jersey! 🎽🔥😢
I'm a diehard Knick fan, but this will forever be my favorite basketball video on UA-cam.
I fucking love Brandon Roy. He was/is my favorite player of all time.
Best birthday present in all of my 55 years. Thank God I found a ticket 10 minutes before tip-off. One heck of an editing job!
broy u will be missed brotha,wish you luck in whatever you choose to do in life,you were a great basketball player and a very humble young man.best of luck to you.
Man this video gave me goosebumps. Roy is the reason why I still play 2k11. That trailblazers had a good starting five and a decent bench. When he retire I knew the team was gonna drop more games than last year.
Love how they switch to the radio commentators when Roy hits that three! So much more energy.
hands down the best basketball game I ever watched. Going from that 3rd quarter, sitting there totally bummed, then watching the slow but steady comeback, to the sudden loud cheering and amazing finish. So sad to see BRoy go so soon, why do bad things happen to good people. P-town will always love BRoy for games just like this, the rose Garden will for sure miss his dramatics.
Watched the 4th quarter 25+ times this summer. This video is amazing, can't wait to tell my kids about this game.
One of, if not THE greatest fan videos ever put together. I thank you for giving us Blazer fans an emotional keepsake of #7 to have forevermore.....
I have never seen Andre Miller show so much emotion in a game. And he wasn't even in the last quarter. The players couldn't believe it as much as the fans. God bless Brandon Roy.
Amazing finish and an amazing video, thank you for capturing that for us all to remember!
one of the best videos on youtube. thank you bro
I've watched this video when it first came out and this video/editing is by far the best out there in terms of sports videos. I know this video is about Brandon Roy and the comeback, but props to you too as well.
my heart always swells when i watch this. this game is never to be forgotten. and now dre, gw, camby and roy are all gone
I just teared up all over again. Thank you for the mix and expecially the slo mo Broy moves.
One of the best mixes ive ever seen, keep it up man.
This just shows that the old and TRUE Brandon Roy is still there deep down!!
Great vid my man, Brandon Roy "The Natural"
Coming from a B-Roy fan, always will be one.
This video never gets old. NEVER.
This was Brandon Roy's last game at the Rose Garden. This game summed up Roy's career and what he brought every time he stepped on that court. HEART.
An absolutely epic video and performance. Thanks for everything you did for this organization B-Roy. FOREVER A BLAZER
I don't know if i'm more impressed by this playoff game or by the editing of the video job well done.
It seems like every time I'm on the internet I always end up coming to UA-cam and watching Brandon Roy videos... I miss him in Rip City
Man... Portland would have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NBA history if not for the injuries of Brandon Roy and Greg Oden...... I truly believe that Roy is going to rise again and Oden is going to recover and become an extraordinary player....... thank you so much for making this video.
Not ashamed to say that I cried while watching this. Fought back tears watching this BEFORE he retired. No sense fighting watching this AFTER he retired.
You know, you made the best tribute clip of Roy! fantastic!!
Thanks so much for this!!! I love my Portland! I live just on the other side of the Broadway Bridge (blocks from the Rose Garden) and the city was ALIVE last night!
Great Video. Make me reminisce and cry. Hopefully we have a season this year. GO BLAZERS!
I'm glad I've watched this game live. I think it was one of the best thing which I have watched.
I'm a big Brandon Roy Fan and I'm from Cali... I never cheered so hard in my life!
I'm not saying this is the best come back ever, but it is the best come back i have ever seen. To cut a 20+point deficit down in one quarter in a playoff game is incredible. The Mavs can thank B-Roy for that.
You've outdone yourself Pinwheel Empire. Just a top level effort!
this was the most emotional playoff run for the blazers EVER..even including when they one in the 70s...I will never forget!!
1 Year anniversary...had to come and watch it and couldn't help tearing up a bit :'(
Im a die hard Mavs fan, and Roy defiantly earned some serious respect from me with this performance. I really also respect the Blazers franchise as a whole, fan base is got to be one of the best in the NBA. there never give up attitude is just great, especially with the injury history they have gone through.
and,, no fan of other team hates him.
blazer fans is really blessed with a player like him.. thank you brandon roy..
Awesome video, greatest comeback I've ever witnessed
Just watching these old videos of Roy makes me love being a blazer fan, I so happy to see Roy getting another chance to play again, you never know he might be healthy enough in the next couple years to come back to portland.
Just think if this was Game 7 of the Finals. The intensity, the emotions, the memories. It would be a series to remember for generations.
probably the best version of the game 4 comeback.
goosebumps every time.
Blazer fans you all need to link this video on your facebooks and twitter acounts, to get this man the recognition he deserves. Great video brother!
that game was beyond amazing
This team was amazing, never seen such energy and team spirit.. love NBA, fan from Czech Republic!
Great recap on Brandon Roy. The video is outstanding. It really helps you relive the moment. Great Job. That was an incredible night. God bless Brandon Roy. I have a degenerative knee as well. Then hip replacement. Doctor said I would never play again. I now play half court. My knee is killing me with no cartiledge. Maybe one day I will get the Kobe/Roy surgery. Brandon Roy is my poster boy!
Roy was destined for immeasurable greatness. He had ice in his veins
I remember being at this game, 13 years old man what a time to be there.
You can just see it in his face that he was hurting. Love Dame, but this was the greatest game and most emotional performance by a Blazer. Of course we ended up lost the series to the eventual champions but this will stick with me forever.
b roy is my fav player in the nba.i would love to see him get a ring.he works so hard and is a great person off the court.i look u to him alot.i study his every move on the court.how can you not respect this guy?
so sad... soo sad. RIP one of the most exciting, most eventful and emotional era's in trail blazer history. will never forget this. This is a part of my childhood
such an epic video and such an unbelievable game, awesome job!
everytime i watch this and i just cry
this video gave me the chills...amazing video, amazing player.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. I will never forget this game.
Im a huge rockets fan but after playing the blazers in the 09 playoffs, i fell in love with the way brandon roy plays the game and i gotta say that this video was pretty damn moving.
Crying im a roy fan so happy to see him back in the game
everytime i see this i almost cry GREAT MIX!
Never get's old... Love it.
While Brandon may never get his hops back, I still think a lot of what held him back was confidence. We see that he still has it when he gets his shot falling. This guy is special. He deserves a second chance after all he's done for this team. He saved this franchise. The fans won't should never forget that.
Despite Lillard being so good, I can't ever forget what Brandon did for this franchise. His play is just so natural. A fundamentally sound guy that was also unselfish. Just something that you don't see very often, but things are looking real good as well. Happy Birthday ROY!! Never forget
