Roy to Retire

pac213up · 12-09-2011, 10:06 AM

Just saw he is going to announce a medical retirement. Too bad.

sunsfan8 · 12-09-2011, 10:07 AM

dang you beat me to it

i hope he can come back he has talent

Sad.

Another TrailBlazer that can't stay healthy.

That team had a ton of potential. Never to be reached, mostly due to injuries.

Brandon Roy of Portland Trail Blazers to retire due to knees, sources say - ESPN

Res215dg · 12-09-2011, 11:54 AM

This sucks, he's the same age as me, 27, and having to retire at this age would put me in depression...

gizmo675675 · 12-09-2011, 12:02 PM

Bitter sweet but glad to hear this for the sake of the Blazers.. Thank you Roy for all your hard work.

bigcwd2000 · 12-09-2011, 12:25 PM

Hate to hear this. He was an amazing player just a year or so ago before the injury. Sad to see an athletes career end due to injury.

suki24 · 12-09-2011, 06:37 PM

Now would be the time to unload all your Roy cards if not done so already.

ninjacookies · 12-09-2011, 06:47 PM

Kid had unlimited potential before all of the injuries...and probably one of the nicest guys in the league. Truly saddening.

And ironic, considering he basically almost lead the Blazers deep into the playoffs with his late game antics last year.

roy will be missed. he was one of my favorite players

GoClips! · 12-09-2011, 08:47 PM

This is as sad a story as I've heard in awhile. He had Top 5 in the league type of talent, and he never even hit his peak. He's a great leader and person. Sad day for all NBA fans, to miss out on the things that B.Roy could do for the game.

aros13 · 12-09-2011, 08:51 PM

The blazers can't catch a break, this guy could have been top 5 one day.

jp98 · 12-09-2011, 08:54 PM

This is the saddest NBA retirement. Just a terrible way to have to retire.

Ok, and I will be the a-hole to ask, just because I am curious, but is this good or bad for his Autos? Honest question.

longhrncardshop · 12-09-2011, 09:36 PM

this guy was a beast on the court... love watching him play

The Madbacker · 12-09-2011, 09:36 PM

That is too bad. Injuries strike again.

aros13 · 12-09-2011, 10:00 PM

Game 4 of the DAL VS POR playoff series will go down as one of the best last gasps ever. i really suggest people watch this video, this is what roy did on awful knees.
