3. Brandon Roy, Portland Trailblazers

We shouldn’t forget how awesome Brandon Roy was for Portland. The prime of his career was of course cut short by knee injuries, but he still had a big impact on the Blazers. Roy was Portland’s best player from 2007 to 2010. He led the Blazers back to the playoffs in 2009 after years of misery and incompetence. During that three-season stretch Roy made three All-Star teams and two All-NBA teams. He was probably the best two-guard in the league after Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade.

Roy had knee issues for years before the 2011 season, but by January of that year he had to have arthroscopic surgery on both of his knees. He never came back the same, although he did give one final masterpiece of a performance during the 2011 playoffs. During a round one series against the eventual Champion Mavericks, Roy led the Blazers to victory after entering the fourth quarter down by 18 points; Roy scored 18 of his 24 points in the fourth putting in an epic playoff show.

Roy should definitely be on Portland’s All-Time team. He was one of the league’s top players, albeit for a short period of time and he was loved by Blazers fans. 2Ks squad includes Nic Batum and Wes Matthews, both of whom were teammates of Roy. Both Batum and Matthews had success in Portland and played on some solid team, but neither meant nearly as much to the fan base as Roy.
