Brandon Roy To Retire

[Eze]

Sources say Brandon Roy to announce medical retirement due to degenerative knees, possibly as soon as today

Such a bummer :(

Redd, Arenas, Roy. All were All-Star guards who suddenly got injured and didn't have their physical abilities anymore. All within the last 3 years too.

That sucks. Sucks for the Blazers. They thought they'd have Roy/Oden for years for their future and one is probably retiring, while the other can never stay healthy

That's a shame. I remember when he was at his prime. I hated when we played the Blazers because he would fuck us up

[Eze]

According to Wojo, Roy wasn't happy and played it off and the doctor essentially told him, "you can't do this - keep doing it and you'll lose your ability to walk".

[Sir Harry]

and now Oden is re-injured before training camp again....lol

[Eze]

ANDDDDDddddd....LaMarcus Aldridge underwent an emergency heart operation today.

I don't think you remember the "Artest owns B-Roy" thread that KingsOwn19 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?126-KingsOwn19) made. Well, how could you, it was on a different board, lol.

*** pasted the box score lines ***

[BosnianBaller_]

it's a shame. i thought he was gonna be a great player in the league for years to come. also he did alot of good things in that community to erase the image of the "jail blazers". the worst feeling for an athlete is when his body lets him down
