Top 10 Plays of Brandon Roy's Career

Check out the Top 10 Plays of Brandon Roy's first 5 seasons in the NBA.

[@jan279]

So many misfortunes for Portland. Walton getting injuried and never being the same again after leading the Blazers to their lone title, Sam Bowie picked over Jordan, Sabonis not allowed by the Soviet Union to join the Blazers in his athletic prime, Oden picked over KD, the B-Roy injury and now 4/5 of their starting 5 just left. Man...

[@TheAces4ever]

They're probably one of the most unluckiest sports teams in recent history

[@dirtydeefromdad187]

Greg oden was good doe but he just ended up like Brandon Roy too

[@jan279]

Mark Jones So was Sam Bowie, but he was also injury-prone, and to add insult to injury (no pun intended), the next guys picked after them both ended up as league MVPs.

[@Wordtoyamom]

At least they still have a team. Roy should have been playing for the sonics.

[@blazerfan4555]

+jan279 It's been rough growing up as a basketball fan in Portland, but true fans never jump ship. Go Blazers!

[@gabrielbibilari9678]

The Clutchness of Brandon Roy lives on in Damian Lillard.

[@Habeev07]

Its crazy they were both the 6th picks...... 6 years apart. Roy would have been the next great SG after Kobe... he was better than wade imo.

imagine if Roy is playing like this and with Lillard,Batum and Aldridge, it was like spurs.. championship contender

[@RealMikeMiller13]

Roy's is more impressive, but Lillard's meant more

[@terrellj8182]

Roy was a true superstar. I thought he was going to be the next big star for the NBA. True talent and one of the best jumpers I've seen.

[@javonmartin9347]

I cant believe Portland got LaMarcus Aldridge and B.Roy in the same draft! Only SGs on his level were Kobe and D.Wade..he was special!!

[@bestofdbest934]

@@javonmartin9347 Whats crazier is that they got Greg Oden as 1st draft pick the following year. Imagine if all 3 were long term Portland players without injuries until Dame showed up. They would have won 2-3 championships by now.

[@TurtlEfrmdaManor]

@@bestofdbest934 They were 52-10 in the 62 game's they were able to play together thru their career's!!

Brandon Roy could have been the next big thing. But, injuries got the best of him. Sucks that we didn't get to see him develop even more.

[@yoRyann27]

Injuries from his knee disorder.

[@stewie4467]

Would've been the best SG in the league

[@JS-qj1rp]

Think of this big 3 Aldridge, linard, and Roy

[@thevillamors]

Nope, rose evolved his game so he can still be a high caliber player despite the injuries he had in the past.

[@madjapes42]

Last shot is one of my favorite buzzer beaters of all time. Such a high degree of difficulty sprint away from the basket, catch and shoot. Nothing but net.

[@KingLeonidas_300]

it's my favorite of all time. insane

[@charlesschaeffer7626]

Squared up perfectly

[@DarianMilliken219]

I don’t think many younger kids or people in general today realized how good Brandon Roy was and if it wasn’t for injures how good he could have been. Me being 23, I feel fortunate enough to remember when he came into the league back in 06. Dude could legit do it all and that’s not a joke. I believe if the injuries never derailed his career he would’ve at least delivered Portland one title. If someone super young who knows today’s NBA game really well and see’s this comment in 2022 or beyond and doesn’t know much about Brandon Roy except for a few throwback highlights on KZbin. If there was a player to compare him too in today’s game……… I’d say a more skilled version of Devin Booker with better bounce.

[@neilmetenou4651]

That last one looks exactly like lillard's buzzer beater against the rockets

[@hahah5739]

Almost the exact same, both came on the heels of a huge play by Houston that virtually sealed a win for them. Roy had .8 seconds, Lillard had .9. Horrible Houston defense prior to the inbound contributed to both, I still think I prefer the Roy version.

[@JC-io4pi]

Ha Hah Are you sure Lillard had .9? I thinks its .04?

[@JC-io4pi]

Oh yeah i checked it already you're right

[@JC-io4pi]

Smarty Pants

[@gilbertopena2881]

***** Tell that to Derek Fisher.

[@KingDizzleLTDinc.]

One of the biggest “What if’s” in the history

[@raofficial]

its unfortunate that he had a very short career due to injuries other wise he would be the best SG in the league today…

[@BlackOwnedDollars]

It would've been amazing because he played this completely stiff game and Harden is slick and those contrasting styles would've been dope to see.

[@ItIsZevs]

+Boss' Life On Roy only played 5 seasons and was wayyyy better then harden is. No one plays like Roy, goes his own speed. Kobe said Roy was the hardest player he ever had to guard.

Roy- Buzzer beater vs Houston with .8 to go. Lillard- Buzzer beater vs Houston with .8 to go. What a coincidence.

[@peggygillum8336]

Both in Playoffs and at home. forgot to add that. :-)

+Peggy Gillum the Roy shot was a regular season game I think

[@peggygillum8336]

I know

[@eddieg860]

[@eddieg860]

***** hell yea, lol

[@kyngkai3942]

Eddie G BRoy one of the most underrated players ever and also on 2K. I named him BasedGod for how amazing he was on 2K. I’d score 80+ with him routinely. Best shot in 2K history 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@bryanmcjerald4535]

Not only a great player, but a great guy. I had the opportunity to meet him and oden and both were incredible guys. Sad, injuries stopped them from being great. Blazers would probably have another championship by now.

[@bryanmcjerald4535]

Hell, I still have Roy's shoes he released. Autographed and everything :,(

[@typert23jr85]

Bryan you meant a dynasty with Oden, Roy, Lillard, McCollum, and Aldridge.

[@soukikismet2485]

We actually won one in 1977

[@husseinhassan1731]

Portland has to retire his jersey

[@justinsitjar6253]

Damn, it's a shame he couldn't stay healthy. He was one of my favorite players and imagine him with Damian Lilard and Lamarcus Aldridge.

[@erickt5002]

Justin Sitjar I don't think they would have Liliard if Roy was still healthy :\

[@thetruth8773]

Erick T What do you mean? Roy is a shooting guard.

[@erickt5002]

David Smith They wouldn't have been able to pick up Lilard in the draft if Roy was healthy

[@thetruth8773]

Erick T I assume you mean that they wouldn't have gotten the sixth pick because with Roy their record would be far too high to be in the lottery, but you see, this is all funny because they traded with the Nets for the sixth pick in 2012. The actual trade was as follows, Blazers give: Gerald Wallace Nets give: Mehmet Okur, Shawne Williams, 2012 6th pick, 1st round. The Nets have to be pissed about that major screw up. Basically Gerald Wallace for Damian Lillard. Now, that would never happen, not in a million years.

[@erickt5002]

David Smith Oh wow, I didn't know that. Pretty cool, thanks for letting me know.

[@IRAYWlLLlAMJ0HNS0N]

What if... Damian, Roy, Aldridge and a healthy Odon. Damn!

[@loungefly92]

Add Wesley Matthews to that roster as well. Would have been ill as fuck.

[@quentinmaze6984]

Don't forget about Batum

[@bennyboi98]

surely Dame, CJ, Roy, LA and Odon. OMFG what a team!!!!!

[@Tuanski]

Some of the biggest what ifs in nba

[@fam3356]

if roy was still with Portland , Lilard would have landed somewhere else , so yeah not realy ...

[@kookurikapooh]

One of my all-time favorites. His game reminds me of a more grounded Wade (referring to the young Flash) but with the shooting technicalities of Kobe.

[@SirEpicous]

Came here right after Lillard's shot. These two guys are so similar in so many ways.

[@kyngkai3942]

Brandon Roy still my favorite 2 guard that never had a chance to hit his peak. He was already a superstar so young in his career and he was humble and a team guy. Beautiful to see him relishing in being a great HS coach and mentor. Simply a great all around guy.

[@marquesbaylock4200]

This used to be my favorite player absolutely loved his game. Without injury we are talking about top greatest of all time

[@ytewelde]

People forget just how good of a player B-Roy was!! Injuries robbed him, man smh. Add him to the list with McGrady, GHill, and Penny of "What could have been"..

[@Amani5567]

and drose. but hopefully hell be healthy next year

[@ultrainstinctgrey9184]

this guy had so many game winners,one of the clutchest players ever,one season it seemed like every other game was a game winner or tying shot by roy

[@The51239]

I remember when this guy used to be one of the stars in the NBA.

[@Rigel.7]

It's crazy that both Roy and Lillard shot a game-winner three at the same spot, against the Rockets. What a great coincidence!

[@Koshuajforlife]

I will never forget the games i've seen him play ;( I miss you brandon roy!!!

[@MRtryst]

Brandon Roy got 40.5 inch max vert coming into the league listed at 6'6(DraftExpress) Imagine if his talent had never faced those awful injury........ This hard working dude had superstar or even MVP candidate potential. He was top 3 SG behind KOBE and D-WADE. He already got heart and game too. Simply my favourite player!! and this is my 'Couldhaves' team C-Greg Oden (raw giant if healthy) PF-STATS (if healthy) SF-T-MAC (potentially top 10 all-time greats) SG-B-ROY (w/ that 40.5) PG-AI (if he PRACTICE? lol).

[@FastTransformer]

Kloudyxhmww the only passes played on your team will be inbounds

[@sk8erin8er]

Rose is the what if PG, and I'm putting Grant Hill over T-Mac because T-Mac had more good years. Also, what did you mean by "Stats"?

[@lolwut9226]

Michael jordan was a sg how can he be top 3?

[@sk8erin8er]

Lol wut I think he meant at the time

[@MFjaYWiLL]

Kloudyxhmww ai missed one practice because his friend got murdered the night before.. his best friend got dumped and he did that interview drunk as shit which the organization shouldnt have let happen. They knew his circumstances you dont let your player walk into that.

You can't tell me that Lillard and Roy's game winners against Houston weren't extremely similar

[@reynaldopepin2449]

[@DefenseWinsTheGame]

[@soradps]

DefenseWinsTheGame He was a better shooter than MJ tho

[@MoonwalkerKing-gc5jm]

Not as Athletic but he did had a Legendary work ethic

[@bwmertz]

Roy was so clutch. In the last five minutes of a game it was like he couldn't miss. Underrated handles, could blow by guys and go straight to the rack. A midrange game almost on par with Kobe and Wade, and a better 3pt shooter than either of them. Crazy how Lillard's game is so much like Roy's, and another underrated superstar for Portland who is probably top 3 at his position. Both of them so clutch. Man Roy is only just NOW 36 years old, imagine if those dudes had like 5-8 years of overlap in their careers along with Aldridge. They'd be championship contenders the entire 2010's. Crazy.

[@UKnigga]

man what a player, i hope he can return once again. i saw him play earlier dis season wid da wolves he still got it. breaks my heart seeing these clips, reminds me of penny hardaway an his injuries causing a setback in his career

[@mildchaos6037]

that last shot and Lillards shot were too similar.. hope my rockets bounce back next year lol

[@heelstadium]

Your Rockets look great right now, down 1-0 in the Western Conference Finals to Curry and Golden State. Guys have had a strong year thus far
