Brandon Roy’s Favorite Memory of Kobe Bryant // Michael Porter Jr

[@brendafirebrand8810]

This guy would have been a hall of famer had he not gotten hurt. Brandon Roy was fo real!

[@jordanfauntleroy2013]

Before Lillard was the man in Portland it was Roy. Man he was great definitely had the potential to be a hall of famer before his injury.

[@orangeballwithstripes9227]

Kobe Tribute video I made guys! Lmk what do you think! kzbin.info/www/bejne/goWzh2qwp9uilbc

[@johnrasmussen1190]

would have been a unanimous first ballot HOFer and top 20 player all time had he not been "really" injured. Reality is that he was always a little injured. Bad knees since college. Roy jumped higher at 13 years old than at 23 years old. He was just so incredible that even with the bad knees he was still better than everyone he played against other than Kobe.

[@tdagodd8732]

FACTS!

[@SportsAi24]

I started watching him play since his high school days. He could have been great

[@rookendgame]

Kobe still feels alive, that's how much of an impact he has had on all of us

[@lucasholmgrenmusic]

Brandon Roy visited my little brother at Dornbechers when he had Leukemia. My brother is good now a decade later! Roy was super cool, took photos, talked with my family. Good guy.

[@ericraymondlim]

Wow, I’m glad your brother is good now! Brandon Roy sounds incredible. Not many celebrities like that.

[@JohnDoe-kx1yt]

not many celebs would do that, huge respect to brandon roy and happy to hear your brother recovered from his disease. God bless brother.

[@davidnguyen9114]

Kobe was the last of his kind. He took rivalries to another level. Always went hard going against the top guys wade, bron, tmac, Iverson, vince, melo, broy and the list goes on. He was willing to play through injuries just to play against these guys. Nowadays players will rest when they're tired or don't feel like playing.

[@thsu8]

Facts the real ones died with Kob, Garnett, and Duncan

[@BigBen1994]

You would of thought that the players who looked up to him would of took his mentality. I looked up to Kobe since 1st grade and I never missed a game or anything no matter what all the way till college ball.

[@MrEliasdl]

He took the rivalries as serious as a heart attack. He also had deep appreciation and love for his rivals for their commitment that drove him to greatness

[@Habeev07]

Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant both at times have said Roy was the toughest player to guard. In 2010, Kobe was asked who was the toughest player to guard and he said: "Roy, 365, 7 days a week, Roy has no weaknesses in his game"

[@ohdaUtube]

Did everyone forget about Giannis??

[@iamluciano689]

That's why Kobe is the Goat, Love B Roy!! Even with the Injuries still a Hall of Fame player in my book and for him to share this Amazing story and How meeting him impacted him. Proves that Kobe been the Goat b4 it was a Debate ❤️🙏🏽 #24foreva

[@MrEliasdl]

That bear hug greeting from Kobe was the coolest part. I appreciate these stories that show the side of Kobe many Laker fans know all too well.

[@2009kdizzle]

Players while playing were fans of MJ and Kobe. Star struck by their greatness. That’s how GOOD they were. No1 and no 2

[@jaymoney6233]

B Roy was the real deal.He was in awe of Kobe but im not sure Brandon knew how highly Kobe thought of him.Kobe always complemented his game

Broy and Kobe definitely were players I tuned in to see ball. Two great ballers ⛹️

[@shamus248]

B-Roy is a class act. RIP Mamba

[@isaacreyes4993]

He was a beast in his prime , Kobe even knew Broy could play 🏀 #RipKobe

[@jordanfauntleroy2013]

He had the potential to be a hall of famer it was the injury that did it

[@Saviiq]

Third best sg behind Wade

[@yolover111]

I remember reading about Kobe Bryant in school, when we had to rent books for the week. I'd always do the picture books, seeing Kobe and Shaq be the top dogs during their reign, crazy realizing we actually lived through their era. I always wanted to meet Kobe and pick his brain, luckily my sister took me to a game back in 2011, and he was just as good. Sad I'll never get to shake his hand.

[@entvisual]

*I hope Trail Blazers* retire number 7, Brandon Roy thank you so much for making positive memories for me growing up!!

[@KingLeonidas_300]

Brandon Roy's buzzer beater against the houston rockets is still my favorite shot of all time

[@jdfraed123]

RIP CITY loves you B Roy! Thanks for all the amazing memories ❤️

[@bizonc]

For sure. He gave us great memories.

[@donaldtillman4351]

So nice seeing Brandon Roy. I’ll go a step further and say this guy is in the top 10 players most likely to be in the top 75 players if he doesn’t get hurt.

[@Watermelon_Man]

Top 5 honestly. Him and D Rose.

[@SiNsCere1100]

BRoy was the TRUTH!!!!! This mans game was sooo smooth and it made it look easy!

My second favorite player's favorite player is my favorite player 💪🏽

[@shamgod815]

Two of my favorite players of all time, and to hear that B-Roy was still in fan mode goes to show how much he admired Kobe for his dedication. S/O to the legend B-Roy, R.I.P. Mamba 🙏🏾

[@IcantThinkOfAname9]

Brandon Roy was a beast back then 3rd best sg during that time behind wade and Kobe

[@JohnDoe-kx1yt]

This guy was extremely talented, i remember watching his game winner. Guy was insane.

[@zachleonard258]

Good channel just found it, solid. B Roy always was a favorite for me living in portland

[@FreshDrummerBoy]

Whole time I’m listening to B. Roy, I’m looking at MPJ’s haircut thinking, who is his barber?! His edge up is crispy! 💯. That’s a great Kobe story though. I really wish he didn’t injured so much. B.Roy was fun to watch.

[@chidori5399]

Cool as hell to see a dude who had battles with Kobe didnt even know what he wanted to say to him at first

[@_ThatOneServant]

Dam this dude NBA career was a blurr but everything he did was smooth and skillful

[@BonVitoNYC]

Thank you for this MPJ.. & of course B.Roy as well. Beautiful story. LL Bean

[@heartytworaw6338]

I’m so Glad I’m Early to this Show. So dope to see a Young current player doing this💯💯💯

[@pkc11d]

Brandon Roy was the truth. Injuries unfortunately hurt his career but he was the man.

[@david9156]

B Roy was a great player. It’s really a shame he got injured

[@donvaughn4239]

Same with Grant Hill so much talent cut short due to injuries

[@evanshall]

Didn't Kobe say Brandon Roy's game had no weaknesses?

[@munir9527]

Roy was not an elite defender

[@entvisual]

*Brandon Roy* amazing💜🌹

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

@@munir9527 I would say he was average to above average on defense

[@antlopez6179]

I think Kobe was talking about his offense tho

[@nicholasanthonygonzales9985]

I know someone else caught that slip up from B-Roy at 2:42, he was about to say "No Ho..." LMAOOOO

Damn you can tell B Roy was a big fan of Kobe like a lil kid lol... Good brother!! Haven't seen B Roy in 4ever, glad he's still doing alright...

[@leftovers2go198]

Damn, I did not even know that story, BRoy and Kobe together watching the game

[@Hubcitybg]

B-Roy is so underrated

[@Leftyin2024]

If this is “Curious Mike” I ❤❤❤ IT! For a young guy trying to be a better player AND person in the game, and interviewing old “COLD” players and getting their takes on things is dope! I would have asked Kobe that same question AND that would have been my same reaction! 🤣 B Roy was that dude!

Amazing story so awesome

We need Brandon on the Knuckheads podcast!!

Prime BRoy for those who didn’t get to watch him I’ll just sum it up like this. If you were to rank all time SGs it would’ve went MJ Kobe BRoy That’s how ELITE BRoy was!

[@davidwhite8158]

I respect Roy so much....the Lakers could never beat the Blazers in Portland. It was an automatic loss. Good ole days!!

Brandon Roy and Derrick rose. Scary when healthy.

[@godspeedgideon9178]

I started watching NBA at like 8 yrs old and the Mavs were my team (Nash,Fin,Dirk) bc I live near the area. My 1st favorite player in the NBA was Tracy McGrady, and Brandon Roy became my favorite player after he came into the league... his offensive skillset was mesmerizing and I destroyed everybody on 2K9 with "The Natural" lol. Then, I was conflicted when he gave my Mavs a hard time in the 2011 playoffs in the 1st round and I was even more sad when that was the last time I was going to see him at his best bc if he didn't have any injury problem when he played against us, Dirk might've not gotten his 1st and only championship that year. After Brandon Roy was crippled and destroyed by injuries, PG13 became my favorite player, and now Luka Doncic is my current favorite player.

Brandon Roy could have been (was for a short time) to Kobe, what Ron Harper was to Michael Jordan for a time.

[@markjeff3838]

Him, Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway. How different the league would have been if they could have stayed healthy. SMH. The NBA was robbed

That's problem with you people you set people up as idols 😂 LeBron James PPG, FG%, 3pt%, TS%, REB, AST, STL, BLK higher then Kobe Bryant. So it's pretty clear LeBron the better player 🤭 LeBron 39,531 pts on 50.5% fg more points then Kobe 33,643 pts on 44.7% fg LeBron 1st all time points Kobe 1st all time missed shots Bleacher report top 50 greatest NBA players all time 1. Michael Jordan 2. LeBron James 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 6. Shaquille O'Neal 7. Tim Duncan 14. Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant 44.7% fg only 32.9% 3pt most missed shots in the NBA history not even top 10 player all time that's why Bleacher report has him #14 Kobe Bryant 15 losses seasons he didn't win ring including getting swept 3 times by Jazz 4-0 in 1998 playoffs and by Spurs 4-0 in 1999 playoffs and by Mavericks 4-0 in 2011 playoffs last I checked he doesn't have 20 championships
