Should Brandon Roy's jersey be retired?

For those of you that answer yes, please explain why. Not that he was a great guy, but really why.

 

If so, and with our history of over doing it, we should just retire all the numbers, and start using symbols.

No for me.

 

I voted yes because I just think Roy has done more than many already retired. He's a blazer and should have stayed one; retiring and going out with a positive with that Dallas game.

 

Doesn't rank in the top 10...no where close in most in almost any important category. FYI

 

Whatever you think or believe; I would like to see this proof of Roy ranking lower than ten of the already retired numbers.

 

I voted yes. According to the established entry level for "Blazer retired numbers", he qualifies. He's arguably the second or third best SG ever on the team (behind Drexler and possibly Paxson and Petrie). He won the sentimental hearts of the fans by lifting us out of the Jailblazer era. Without a doubt, he's one of the team's greats!

 

Name a part of the stadium for him if you want. Roy row or something.

 

No. His career here didnt last long enough.

 

This.

Not his fault. He gave it his all. In the end Roy restored the franchise back to it's former greatness (Pre-Jail Blazers).

 

Paxson not retired


1 Larry Weinberg
13 Dave Twardzik
14 Lionel Hollins
15 Larry Steele
20 Maurice Lucas
22 Clyde Drexler
30 Bob Gross & Terry Porter
32 Bill Walton
36 Lloyd Neal
45 Geoff Petrie
77 Jack Ramsay

Of those

Weinberg
Lucas (Maybe)
Drexler
Porter
Walton
Petrie
Ramsay

Twardzik
Hollins
Steele
Gross
Neal

Have absolutely no business being retired.

 

Yea OK

 

I think we should retire Kenny Anderson's, then tell BRoy it's his.

 

No one is blaming him. It's not a fault thing. It's not Oden's fault he was injured, but he was dominant while on the floor. Bowie made the all rookie team. It's not a fault thing, IMO

As for restored it back to it's former greatness?

32-50
41-41
54-28 first round loss
50-32 first round loss
48-34 first round loss
28-38 Retired right before the season


Is that really our former greatness?

 

So you think Twardzik , Hollins, Steele, Neal, Gross should have their numbers retired?

 

Absolutely not.

 

not in Portland

 

He's #1 in the most important category: Impact on the franchise. He was the face (and heart) of the team that pulled this franchise out of the smoke and debris that was left after the Jail Blazer roster was burned to the ground. He led a drastically over-achieving young team back to the playoffs two years before anyone had any right to expect, and he did it on bad wheels.

But then, I think #10 should be retired, so take that for what it's worth.

 

Drexler has no business being retired? Okay lol
