Amid the chaos of surrounding Chris Paul (for what it’s worth, he appears to be bound for the LA Clippers), there was further bad news for NBA fans last week.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy announced his retirement due to a degenerative knee condition. The five-year veteran had been plagued by injury his entire career.
As it turns out one Roy’s last games will be his most memorable, scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Blazers to a win in game four of their opening round series against the eventual NBA champion Dallas Mavericks. You could do worse for a final act.
