Brandon Roy 2012 - Retirement mix..Will Never Forget You..

[RoboRoadKill]

I had heard rumors of retirement for months but never thaught he would, broy my fav player

[samsk1188]

@lucasisabeatle he retired because he has degenerative knee..after the surgery's he had on his knees he was basically playing bone on bone and if he continued playing he would have been putting his chances of walking when he got older in jeopardy..so he made the smart descision to retire.. but. i herd there was a specialist out in germany that could help him..idk if he knows that or not..

[basketballbeast06]

he left us 2 soon

[TheLazorflip]

b roy = beast lol sad day when he retired

[TFHornet]

How did he knew from june 14 2011 that brandon roy is going to retire?..

[HykeemCarterGaming]

@TFHornet WAS A REGUALAR MIX THEN HE CHANGED THE TITLE WHEN HE RETIRED yeah im sad :S

[A6raham]

Its sad he had to retire because of his knee problems, he easily could have been one of the greatest ever

[TheNateDawg619]

I love Brandon Roy, he is one of my all time favorite players and I'm sad to see him retire

[dejaezee]

Undercomment stfu I'll kill u ok? If u don't like him don't search him I fuckin love him no homo but I'll fuck u up

[dbzgtforever]

i hate roy

[MotionsEditing]

@dbzgtforever dont watch this then. damn go watch someone elses highlights. He was unbelievably amazing. He might have got MVP if a couple of years if he didnt get injured.

[MSotelo503]

@dbzgtforever Can't blame you, Roy 1st and 2nd yr were amazing but injuries and attitude went out the door big time. He is a reason why Dre walked away from the team.

[MONEYswimmer200FLY]

I hope his jersey # gets retired. That will be a gr8 way to honor him. Go Blazers & Go Roy! The king of playoff round 1 game 4 against the mavs. 18 points in 1 quarter! Unbelievable performance! Hope he'll still give autographs throughout the season, because I want 1 from him. Roy's "STILL THE MAN". :)

[Liteskin2324]

He can still return he still young he needs time to heal his knees he can return in two or three year

[TheNJeli]

@Liteskin2324 Sadly, you can't grow new Menisci so it's highly improbable that he would ever heal enough that it would be safe for him to play again.

[somguyis]

@Liteskin2324 i hope so, but i doubt it. i heard they said if he played this season he would risk loosing his ability to walk, but we will see

[steelbreeze55]

Well made, nicely done!

[MrDaquan23]

was my favorite player in the NBA and always will be

[cruz2410]

I really wish that he could have stayed healthy. He reminds me of Grant Hill, he had a whole bunch of injuries but was a fantastic player who could have gone down as a top 10 or top 5 player ever. Look it up if you need proof.

[jacko229]

Hopefully 'The Natural' sticks around & becomes a coach one day... Not a Portland fan, I'm actually a Laker fan, but I have some serious respect for that guy. He dominated the Rose Garden.

[TheNATHAN247]

im pissed........... HE IS OUT!

[CedAdj]

I wish i had his number to tell him that I know a specialist in Italy who can help him!!

[pliskan22]

One of this best players around

One of the best Portland trailblazer

Short career shame to see him gone

Will be missed

Wish him the best

Gone to soon

B.roy #7

[alfonzolamar]

@samsk1188 no, he's retiring......

[ILucKyZz]

Thats what happens when you take an arrow to the knee

[TheTower51]

Rip city and the nba lost a great one

ill wear my brandon roy jerseys with pride

[yoonvalee]

sad but true

[iWal33d]

:(

[shinobif0rever]

underrated player with alot of talent...and so young too...hurts to see him go...

[ChrisLacy1990]

My heart hurts for Brandon Roy, his family, the Portland Trail Blazers organization and its fans. Roy was never flashy and often underappreciated but was quietly dominant and did it all for his team to the best of his ability. I don't believe that this is "Goodbye", more like "See you later" and here's to hoping he'll comeback like Grant Hill.

[davidnikolaychuk]

lol title is wrong actually he is done. lmao garbage

[thepakibye]

@davidnikolaychuk hes not done...hes forced to retire. dudes got sick game but too bad he was hit by the Blazer curse!

[pmrooter]

phokangaroo you idiot

[Mandarinovicius]

Roy used to be a great player.. and then he got an arrow to the knee.

[gp03dan]

the best!

[tinyeatworld]

i wish he'd be like grant hill. not explosive as before but still in the league

[phokangaroo]

Roy: I used to be a basketball player like you, then I took an arrow to the knee(s)

[PunkRocKs182]

ITS DONE!

[loslakers530]

yeah its gonna be sad when he retires, when healthy hes easily a top 5 sg

[Bl00dline22]

Please don't retire B ROYYY !!!!

[MrYoungprodigy24]

It doesn't matter what team you root for, you got to be somewhat disappointed that Brandon Roy is retiring...

[tselmeg28]

i was never a fan of brandon but he is hell of a player and a great guy as well. sad to see a great player to retire so early

[STAyTHIrstyMyFREind]

Damn shame he has to retire, easily one of the best to ever do it...

[joncuesta95]

he's gonna retire, what a shame... he was one of my fav players since his first nba game!

[Caseyford10886]

Whoops

[NoGoodJim]

I don't get his "injury"... Is it something ppl really can't play on? For me, he still looked good last season and he should just keep getting better. That's what I think.

[azngujuonf1r3]

@NoGoodJim He's literally got no cartilage in his knees. They are too unstable to play on.  It really is sad, the number of surgeries he's gone through, etc. Comment below me by "beinglogic' explains it

[TengoJuego]

@NoGoodJim The very specific details are unknown, to me at least. But degenerating means they're just going to get worse and worse. Playing on them, day after day, bone on bone would be too detrimental to his legs/knees. Doctors told him he'd possibly risk walking, ever again, if he chose to continue to play.

It's a real bummer. I Love BRoy. Hometown guy that I have a lot of respect for. 206ers, Washingtonians, Oregonians love him and will miss him.

[TengoJuego]

@TengoJuego Man, reading that last bit I typed back to myself, I make it sound like he died. But I will miss watching him play ball. Without the Sonics, the NBA really sucks.

[beinglogic]

At 1:03 after the dunk you can see Brandon Roy's knees bang together as there is no cartilage in his left knee. Though he was a Trail Blazer, this guy was Warrior to play through that kind of pain.

[UTubeBerzerker]

I give B-Roy all respect. The young nigga is out the game way too soon. His knees must be really fucked up to have to shut it down.

[jazKeyz]

It just came out, but he's gonna retire. He's done. not tryin to be funny either. Great player

[IGotGameXD]

He's done now. :(

[swimma369]

@samsk1188 B. Roy staying w Portland....

[MrJoekidd89]

amazing how he can still perform even with the knee troubles , i'm a fan b roy keep doing your thing

[Laker34]

God I wish our big three would have worked out

[michaelisme93]

@samsk1188 not happening. he is staying in Portland, it was announced by the blazers ownership today. sorry bulls fans..

[Knuckles0918]

lol yall do know Broy gonna get cut the blazers right?

[EvanTheDuck]

@Knuckles0918 he is not actually, right now the plan is to keep brandon and he actually might end up starting again this year.

[bigxheadx84]

@Knuckles0918 Acually he is going to announce his retirement this week. As a Rockets fan I respected his game and sad to see him go.

[JeezPeez86]

Brandon roy been on a team of injured players now the blazers tryna trade him to the bulls because they putting their hopes in aldridge if the bulls get roy im gonna be playing with the bulls on 2k everytime i play someone online hands down.

[MrACR94]

I hope he goes to the bulls....but if minnesota signs him O MY GOD! the league better watch out.

PG Rubio Ridnour Lee

SG Roy Johnson Webster

SF Beasley Williams Johnson Webster

PF Love Williams Randolph Beasley

C Randolph Milicic Love

Each player on that team has improved their bodies over the lockout as well....i HOPE he goes to the Bulls

[trvsgrc909]

If he is really goin to the bulls the heat better watch out

[ChrisLacy1990]

@trvsgrc909 Agreed. Chicago's needed a guard who can create his own shot, play solid defense and relieve pressure from Rose. Roy does all of those things and then some.

[portlandspitman]

All reports lean to his knees being in good shape the Roy of old along with the way Lamarcus has been playing could take the blazers anywhere they want to go

[tothebeaty0]

nah, he is done with the Jailblazers. he'll sign with other teams sweet!

[adrgdbs24]

Every shot Brandon makes is almost liking hearing him saym "get off me!"

[THEJustinSimmons]

goddamn he tore up keith bogans at 1:08

[fultonfroth]

Thanks for posting. we love you Brandon Roy!

[isaiahtheonetheonly]

YEs BRandon roy is a beast.

[ChrisLacy1990]

The lock-out has its pros and cons but this should be looked at as a gift, especially for Brandon Roy. This is the perfect opportunity for him to get right physically so he can come back 100%. Although the NBA has turned into a popularity contest in recent years, true fans know it is all about playing the game of basketball and few do it better than this guy.

[jordanf997]

@ChrisLacy1990 same with oden. its more recovery time for portlands fallen stars

[ChrisLacy1990]

@jordanf997 On one hand, I feel bad for Greg Oden because he seems to be a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. On the other hand, the guy has been riding the bench for several seasons now. If I'm Portland, I'm looking to trade Oden off to free up salary space.

[jordanf997]

@ChrisLacy1990 i would agree but it sounds like the trailblazers really wan to keep him. plus hes playing this season so hopefully he will be able to contribute more. i feel like, if he had never been injured, he may have gotten a championship for them by now. but alas, he is injured. im just hoping the poor guy can go a season without an injury. if he does, he may post really good numbers.

[ChrisLacy1990]

@jordanf997 We'll have to wait and see once the season starts on Christmas Day. If he doesn't make some serious noise this season, his days are numbered in my opinion. On another note, I hope Dwyane Wade and the Heat can get the title the right way this time around.

[kamionkami1]

@ChrisLacy1990 hmmmmm..... a few do it better then him when he was in his prime lol. i always thought roy was a little better then danny granger. that was the lvl of game i seen him at

[ChrisLacy1990]

@kamionkami1 A lot of people wrote Wade off a few seasons when he had shoulder and knee surgery but now he's better than ever. Roy's still young and has a lot of promise to defy the odds. I would also give the nod to Roy over Granger in terms of accomplishments and team success. Granger's a great player but he's on a team that's been in the rebuilding phase for years.

[kamionkami1]

@ChrisLacy1990 i hope he defies the odds. would love that cinderalla story. chances r it wont happen tho ): wish my boy tmac got it back back then too

[ChrisLacy1990]

@kamionkami1 (Sigh) Tracy McGrady... At one point in time, I used to think he was better than Kobe Bryant. A couple seasons back when he was working with Tim Grover to get his body right, I was excited for him because Grover got my boy Dwyane Wade back on top. Since then, not much can be said. I hope and pray the same doesn't happen to Brandon.

[PL3690]

@ChrisLacy1990 unfortunately...you know
