    In their prime, who would you rather have for a solid 7 year, healthy, uninterrupted stint? B Roy or Dame?

    While I love Damian, I still would pick Brandon for some reason. Dame has "Lillard time" but to me, B Roy still had more consistent magic. I wish he could have stuck around longer.

    Dame for me, more of a team player, better leader.

    It's an easy answer for me. Definitely dame. I got tired of b-roys personality and hated his rift with Andre miller.

    It's close but it's Lillard.

    Roy was a good leader, but he wasn't Damian Lillard good. The guy was at Dave and Busters playing hoops games with a team mate who's been having trouble relaxing and just taking shots. That's not just great leadership, its brilliant.

    I'm a big Brandon Roy fan but I'd still take Dame 10 times out of 10.

    They're tied as my favorite Blazers ever. However if I had to pick who is better? It's tough because both are so similar but Dame is even more of a killer (which is nuts considering who we are comparing) and seems more into the community and being exposed. However the latter may be because of the social media era we are in.

    Ding! Ding! Ding! Roy was a bit of a diva. I love how dame leads the team and he really tries to engage his teammates.

    Hmmm. Those are all great points.

    But wtf is the purpose of a message board if not to be right all the time? How dare you guys make me re-think this! :D

    Have to go with BRoy because he was the better two way player. BRoy was way better than Dame on D.

    I don't remember Roy being good on defense.. I remember him barely ever trying at all on defense.

    Yeah....uhhhhh no. Roy played matador defense most of his career and wouldn't even try to get in front of his guy.

    Time makes the heart grow fonder for some people I guess
