It's a weird article. It reads like a creative writing assignment that the author decided to also submit to his editor.

It's approaches his career from a parallel universe. Here's a snippet:

–Brandon skipped a home game against the Bobcats, claiming on his blog that he had a bad case of “plantar fascism.” That night, at an awards show, Brandon was reportedly seen cavorting alongside a nominated rapper. And yes, Drake’s “Coffee Cake” won the Grammy over Jay-Z’s “AOL 3.0 Blueprint”, Eminem’s “If You Say Pause One More Time, I’m Going to Kill You” and Kanye’s “I’ma Let You Ejaculate.”

Funny Quote:

Ever since draft night 2006, Brandon, feeling snubbed, has referred to Andrea Bargnani, Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas and Shelden Williams–all selected before him–as “Who,” “What,” “Why,” and “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”

I think the the league and it's fans away from Portland undervalue and underrate Roy.

This made me laugh:

When you add it all up, it’s only reasonable to believe that this talented band of bad apples–which includes the gun-toting Nicolas Batum and that guy with the “Steve to the motherfucking Blake” tattoo across his chest–might implode under such heavy expectations. One wouldn’t blame pessimistic fans for pining for the days of the Good Samaritan Blazers, typified by Rasheed Wallace delicately handing out towels to teammates, Ruben Patterson fighting for the legal rights of underpaid, immigrant nannies and the Bonzi Scheme, a triangular, step by step guide of how to properly treat members of the credentialed media.

Did anyone else think this was a cop-out?

(For actual analysis on Brandon Roy and this universe’s Portland Trail Blazers, feel free to check out The Oregonian, TrueHoop and BlazersEdge, among others I’m surely forgetting.)

It's like he was too lazy to do the research and write a thoughtful article about B-Roy.

So Durant, Yao, and Dirk will be ahead of Roy.

I don't agree with that.

Dirk maybe, idk about the rest.

 

[B-Roy]

So Durant, Yao, and Dirk will be ahead of Roy.

I don't agree with that.

It's based on "projected" play next year, so Yao won't even be on the list.
