How Basketball Lost A Hall Of Fame Talent! Brandon Roy Stunted Growth

- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- Kobe Bryant in 2010 was asked who was the hardest player he had to defend in the NBA. His Answer “Brandon Roy 365, 7 days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game.” The last part interesting, because it’s exactly how most would explain the player Brandon Roy was. When he was at his peak, he really didn’t have a specific weakness you could attack. He was 6’6, strong, crafty, a 4 year college player so came in mature, deadly midrange game, posted smaller guards, shot the 3 well and even better in clutch situations, and Brandon was a dog. His personality kinda reminds of Portland’s new superstar Damian Lillard, in that they both are for the most part soft spoken off the court, but had a chip on their shoulder and wanted to bury their opponents in the worst way on it. Watching Brandon Roy in his prime from 06-10, he always reminded me of Dwayne Wade, but a lot less flashy, maybe less talented, but made up for it with his want to compete against the best and not tag along as their side piece. Roy was on his way to being a perennial all star, all NBA team selection, and maybe even a league MVP and HALL OF FAME. With the right help, Brandon Roy dare I say may have even won a championship. He definitely had the championship leadership and star quality characteristics. How Basketball Lost A Hall Of Fame Talent! Brandon Roy Stunted Growth

Will go down as one of the best players never to make the Hall of Fame. Just above Derrick Rose in injuries affecting a career. Great player, Salute.
Brandon Roy had degenerative knees since birth. The doctors told Kevin McHale that he wouldn't last 5 years in the NBA because of it. That's why he decided to draft Randy Foye ahead of him.
Of course the Blazers love their chronically injured players and happily took Roy.
jermaine oneal
Can’t forget Greg oden 😂
Brandon Roy was like a stronger wing version of penny hardaway despite not the passer nor the deep pull up beyond 3pt range but B Roy was a stellar all around player and a match up problem especially in the midpost .He got unlucky with the busted up knee.
@@Jonathanfifer00 actually you’re wrong , he was . A SG is referred to as the wing as well as the 3.
This guy was a perfect basketball player. You watched him play and you learned something new at every play. Always good decisions, made the team better around him.
He was like the perfect swingman that started at the 2spot with the built frame of Small forward with his 3level scoring ability he could easily play at the 3spot with his versatility in a small ball lineup.
Really was the perfect player who dnt get talking about alot
facts
I’ll never forget his game against tmac and the rockets. Dude went off on my favorite player hitting a game winner in his face. Much respect for b-Roy
Seeing Danny Granger and Brandon Roy in the same photo really shows how much has happened since their careers have fallen off. It’s sort of sad.
As a hoops fan, one of the biggest things I always hate having to witness is seeing elite level talents being taken down by injury. The T-Macs, the Penny Hardaways, the Grant Hills, or you can even mention Roy’s former teammate Greg Oden who had all of the intangibles to become one of the next great big men, but simply never had the opportunity to live out a healthy career. But, Brandon Roy was special, man. I keep telling people that dude is hands down one of my favorite players of all-time. He simply had it all, every single weapon you would want in a two guard and more. He even had that dawg mentality to him, never backing down from any challenge, and rose to many occasions in clutch situations to let people know he was about that. When I’m reminded of the name, he’s one of those I genuinely get sad about. I don’t like those questions of “What could’ve been?” But, nothing but respect to B. Roy. An absolute pleasure to watch during his best years in that Portland Trailblazers uniform🙏
Thus is why I have no problem with load management. Mayne of these guys would've maybe been able to extend their primes by 3-5 years with proper rest and recovery for their specific needs.
@@J-Hue That’s a whole other topic in itself. But, load management is fine as long as the system isn’t abused. Which, is why there’s so much controversy revolving around it right now. Yet, in most cases, injuries like that are inevitable no matter how good you take care of your body. I’m someone who has suffered that very thing and I haven’t athletically been the same since. But, yeah, you hate it regardless of the circumstance
As a Blazer fan, this one hurts. If him and Dame had played together, they woulda rivaled Steph/Klay as best backcourt of 2010s
I used to always wonder what if it was Roy and Dame instead of CJ and Dame
You probably wouldn't have a Dame drafted in Portland if there was BRoy as they would always be in the playoffs. Instead he would get all the help he will need by trading aging vets. But I wouldn't know who to trade for a top 10 pick with their roster.
B-Roy was one of my favorite players during his Portland days. I use to use him a lot in NBA 2K, it was sad to see his career end on such a low note due to injuries.
Brandon Roy was literally going to be a HOF player. He was a beast..and it's funny cause I always saw Damien as his second coming.
Fam, imagine them two as a backcourt for Portland
Super duper facts
AGREED.
His game reminds me a lot like Jerry Stackhouse and Vince Carter.
A prime-healthy Roy with a healthy Greg Oden probably would have been a potential HOF player. I wonder how playing 4 years in college effected his health.
Oden only played one and they both had injuries. It's just how the shit plays out sometimes.
He lowkey surpassed Wade in 2008. But Wade wasn’t having any of it and turnt tf up in 2009
Idk if he surpassed Wade. 2009 was largely just the only season Wade was able to start and end the season healthy so he got to show the player he really was.
I think Olympic play hurt his career along with Melo's later on and now Middleton's going through it largely due to his running the Olympics. Not getting full off-season to recover after playing 82 games or more and then getting right back to it is rough on the body.
@@J-Hue you bring up a good point about Wade but actually Wade had his MVP-like season the year right after the Olympics so I think they were good for him because the year before (07-08) he was hampered with injuries. But I do agree Olympic play usually works to the detriment of players
He trained under Tim Grover that’s why. Dude was out for blood in 2009. I personally think he should’ve won it. But Lebron had the best record in the NBA, putting up video game numbers and Kobe being the best closer in the game and the last man standing in the Finals so Wade didn’t really have a shot smh
@@curtlamar5046 facts bro I agree Wade should have gotten it. Anyone that watched him that year knew he deserved it. But yeah unfortunately his team sucked that year and lebron had a great year too + winning
He never surpassed Wade
Roy was a beast for a 4 or 5 years in Portland
Do Dennis "3D" Scott from the 1990s Orlando Magic
His playstyle was so satisfying to watch. Such a smooth and deadly scorer. Closest player today would be Shai
Good comparison
Agree bro, I'm a fan of Broy and Shai, I'm getting goosebumps talking about this, hopefully shai don't get his knee injured
underrated defender as well
NEED A STUNTED GROWTH STORY for Shawn Williams Former Memphis tiger
One of my favorite players ever. B-Roy was the definition of a bucket and three-level scorer and could cook like no other, but he's also the definition of a "What If" story as had he never suffered from major knee injuries he could've been the greatest Blazer of all-time and a champion for sure. Didn't even notice the similarities to Dame until you said it.
That blazer team was deadly when healthy roy oden batum Al went like 70 12
One of my top 5 favorite ball players of all-time. B Roy was a silent Kobe Bryant. I remember when he put the fear of God in the 10' - 11' Mavs during the first round.
Was a fan when he was in college. 1 of my favorite complete players. Killer crunch time guy.
Roy was very good player. Unfortunately he was on those what if players due to injuries.
Injuries robbed Portland of a potential superteam. A healthy Roy, a healthy Oden, Aldridge, and Dame? They could've ruled the West for years.
I never knew when I saw him hit the court at Garfield High School that he would be one of the best to ever come out of Seattle. Shoutout to B-Roy! 💯
Beautiful game! Big WHAT IF!!
Salute...great job as usual on this video my G
This the one I been waiting for. Hurt my heart when he retired. Legit my favorite player.
Thanks for doing this one. I requested this a little while ago. One of the best to ever do it. Unfortunately career cut short. So skilled and fundamentally sound.
It was a sad day. Great video
This one here is one of the biggest what ifs in nba history great video and this dude was a problem when he healthy
Saw the thumbnail and Never clicked so fast before. B.Roy was so raw
They had a squad… had he been healthy they would have realized their potential…, definitely one of my favorite players & squads with him & ALdridge … amongst others
One of my favorite players ever he was special for sure 💯💯
I went to a blazers game when him and oden played the same game, a rare occasion. Roy was a machine, disappointing he couldn’t stay healthy
B-Roy had a smooth game. Well deserved Rookie of the Year. I used to wreck people in 2K9 with the Blazers lol.
No weaknesses is right. He was smooth. A killa.
I was going to ask can you do a video on Brandon Roy, thanks for this
I'm new to the channel but loving the series so far. Can you do Nate Robinson?
B. Roy one of my favorite players. Not too flashy but a highly efficient player.
Bro, hope you can feature Justin Brownlee of St. Johns. Hes making great success here in the Philippines. Lookin 4ward to it. Tnx bro. Keep it up! 👌🏼
Got to see him play. He was Devin Booker, with better playmaking abilities
Wayyyy better than Booker to me
He's the reason why i fell in love with basketball i ust to use him in 2k and NBA Live all the time he literally could have been the best Blazer in franchise history Seattle tuff and always ultra competive his injuries really hampered his career and without them i think we would be talking about a Harden level type player because he was that minus the foul baiting
I'm still mad I never saw this dude play. I think this guy and Grant Hill are two coldest dudes I never really saw or don't know much about but hear they were cold asf
@@vizionaryentertainment8464 B Roy was an assassin on the court idk if you've watched videos on him but he's nice
He was a bucket on live
Imagine a prime, healthy B Roy with Dame. That's scary times.
He wasssss NASTY crazy three seconds or less offense.
Brandon Roy was one of my favorite players growing up. I even had a pair of those Brandon Roy Nike’s.
B Roy was an efficiency master. No wasted motions. I wish he had a chance to really shine
Funny how you went from the most hated trailblazer (Raymond Felton) to the most loved blazer (Brandon Roy) keep up the good work man! 😂
Time to revisit that bol bol video
One of my favs 😢😢
B Roy and Kobe battles were epic
Through the highlights on here you can see how poised he was,how he was skillfully sound and wasn't shooting just to score nor was ball dominant dude was the truth on the court.He was the last of the 4 year college players that actually turned into an NBA star
Dame went all 4 years
@@johndavis9321 ok I forget I was tryna remember but I forgot about dame
Roy is one of my favorite players of all time. Much Respect!!!
Imagine Dame, Oden and Broy with Aldridge. It’s just crazy if it wasn’t for the injuries blazers would’ve never got Dame
This one and t Mac really broke my heart. I was a kid and these guys were like super heroes to me at one point. To see them have their fall from grace was so disappointing. Roy was special man.
That boy was cold blooded, one of my favorite players to watch battle, and go dummy on the league 😎
I remember that whole Portland roster from that era not only that but Kawhi Leonard has the same degenerative knee condition that caused Roy to retire early so you can tell time is ticking for him especially with all of the load management
BRoy was super dope he'd always give the Lakers hell
Roy was easily gonna be a Hof no one could guard dude 😭🐐🔥💯 was Dunkin like on all the legends
Soon as I stumbled upon this one , I instantly thought of Kobe nd what he thought of Roy.
Always reminds me of the trajectory he was on.
So when Stunted opens up with a Kobe comment , its fitting.
Only few Garnered Beans Compliments , as tuff matchups; Roy , Melo , KD , Rose , Dame , TMac A.I
[Add Penny Also had high praise for Roy]
Jordan as well kobe based his whole game on MJ
BRoy was a complete dawg. Kobe and BRoy was the only two players I've seen that made Dwade stay on his toes
Glad you did this episode man. Sad the way his career was cut short, loved this guy’s game. While he played, he was the 3rd best SG behind Kobe and dwade forsure
Man B. Roy Portland days were insane
JC, please drop a vid at some point on Rasual Butler - RIP.
One of my favorite Player to use in nba 2k8!
He wasn’t Dame he was more like Danny Granger💯
Remember watching him when he was in high school. Same smooth, controlled, versatile game he always had. UW he blossomed into a real star and then put it all together in the NBA. Would’ve been one of the dominant guards of the NBA if he didn’t get hurt.
“No cartilage, more problems” is wild.
How about a video for J.R. Rider (of the Minnesota Timberwolves)?
Do a video on Thon Maker.
It’s sad that injuries fucced his career up
Portland just have a lot of bad luck with injuries especially with Sam Bowie, Roy and Oden.
Man one of my favorite players of all time 😢😢
Roy was a BALLER
My guy b Roy. I remember I used to use trade him to the Lakers on franchise in NBA 2k9 and do nothing but damage with him and Kobe as the backcourt. Won like 4 rings in a row. Lol salute my dude 😂💯 Roy was a monster
Brandon Roy was a beast in rip city. Roy and Dame dollar at the point unstoppable.
Can you do a video on anthony roberson from the 2004 Florida gators team
World Peace also said he was the toughest to guard. I remember he killed Metta and Battier in rocket series . Two of the best defenders back then .
Do DeJuan Blair i remember him in the Spurs but he had many knee injuries aswell.
B-Roy was a SAVAGE! We were robbed of a decade of him vs Kobe. He's the only guy who could go blow for blow with him on both ends. Helluva Hooper!
If Roy and Greg hadn't gotten injured POR would have been competing against GS and OKC during the mid 2010's for sure.
Another solid citizen, player and man!
Still watch his clips today to work on moves
I went to school with him and had math class wit him. Very nice guy.
@JC you should do a piece on Abdul Gaddy
At the time Roy was blossoming, I thought to self he’s the closest thing to Michael Jordan since his retirement and that’s simply because MJ and Roy had no fat to their game. They were so fundamentally sound…clean. They didnt need a fancy Kyrie dribble for separation. They could both pull up and shoot over you with explosiveness. They played at their speed. And yes, Jordan was flashy but, only when necessary and to thrill the crowd. He and Roy didn’t depend on it. Tim Duncan same but, he wasn’t explosive. Roy and MJ were explosive and under control and clean. Rare combo.
Damn, if there was someone I loved even though I didn't like the blazers that much, this guy was such a great player and seemed a great humble guy
Roy & Oden Aldridge blazers the nba biggest what if in nba history
you should do One on randy foye
One of my favorite Players I played against his aau team back in the day 😂 but he wasn’t there he was coaching older kids
He had so much potential
Do Gary Bell Jr. from Gonzaga!
Yo you do Michael Redd? I couldn't find one on him
I definitely remember how good B-Roy was. He wasn't as explosive a scorer or as quick as Dame but IMO, he game was more well rounded. When he was at his peak, only Kobe and D-Wade were better at the 2-guard spot.
Second all time favorite player sad his career was derailed by injury
Brandon is the one I always refer to when I think of a guy with a gifted talent but due to injuries his career was cut way too short & I hope the same won't happen to Zion
B-Roy was such a talented player in the league.
I am a big fan of the show keep up the good work and Damian Lillard will leave Portland Trail Blazers really soon
It hurts to watch this, dude was so talented!!😔 Salute 🫡 & much luv to what he is doing now tho!🫶🏽
Random but necessary? Anyone know what was the Kobe game in this video with the extremely intense Kobe and a chill pau gasol in the background?
Do Kostas Antetokoumpo next
Smfh I still be thinking bout this guy in his prime. Smfh.
Saddens me knee injuries cut his career short.. he could have been one of the best.. next one you should do is John Wallace
Stunt #1, 2 and 3.. injury. I’ll watch the video later
Brandon Roy was a beast
Brandon Roy is Baller 🏀🏀🏀
You should do Brandon Jennings, Ricky Davis, Danny Granger, OJ Mayo, Tyreke Evans, Michael Beasley, Anthony Bennett, Monta Ellis, Sebastian, Telfair, Stromile Swift, Tyrus Thomas, Ben Gordon, and trash Adam Morrison
