    I had to make a video for this guy. Portland lost the heart and soul of their team. Also made a poll. :p​

    Great video! Always loved the way he played the game. Relentless yet so smooth. Sad to see him leave the game at such a young age. Man these Blazers had such a bright future.

    Wonder who was the idiot who voted no? I think BR would have been the next Kobe if only he was healthy. Dude had no holes offensively, and his defense wasn't bad either.

    This, some people just blindly hate on opposing team's players.

    The guy had everything, was one of the best offensive players in the league and could dominate games. He had the whole package and most important, he had the HEART.

    Really sad for him and the NBA, he worked all his life to play in this league and then all his dreams are destroyed by his body.

    All the best to him, maybe he can remain in the NBA and be an assistant or individual coach for one team. He definitely deserves it.

    Because Roy actually played like a superstar and had an even far shorter career.

    Such a class act.. one of the greatest triple threat rip through players i have ever seen (besides Kobe and MJ), sad to see such a hard worker and great team mate go down this early in his career... great video RR

    I have to say this is one the most emotional stories I have ever mixed.
    I feel really sorry for the guy. I thought that Dallas game was his comeback to elite form not his last dying breath. :(

    He had an amazing game against Dallas in the playoffs last year. I was hoping he could do that for 20 minutes a game on a lesser salary.

    I'm just glad we didn't get him after all. Didn't the jailblazers torpedo our draft day move for him? We would have lost Yao, tmac and Roy to injury in the space of a couple of years. I think it would have been too much to bear lol.

    Great player though. Still remember his three on us when lazy mac decided to take the last half a second off.

    Nice video, the question is invalid, he was already a superstar.
