    Um... Brandon retired December 10th, and Crawford signed on December 11th. They were never "teammates."

    One of the most exciting moments of my life as a sports fan. Rocky theme is cued and out of nowhere Brandon Roy returns from surgery. Was an epic moment to be at the RG.

    It was magical. I nearly didn't go to that game, but managed to buy tickets a few hours before the game started. I also almost didn't see the comeback, because I was so disheartened by the lead Dallas had. Luckily, I decided to stay one more play... now I never leave a game early!

    I'll never forget the game, we also got tickets at the last second. I was skeptical about it because the last playoff game I was able to go to was game 1 vs rockets the previous year when Blazers were blown out. During the Mavs game in the 3rd I told my dad that I was bad luck (at the time Blazers were down by like 23) and that he wasted his money. Then shit got crazy and absolutely amazing. I took a lot of footage during and after the game when people were chanting outside. I saw like 4 dudes tearing up who sat by me while the comeback was happening.

    Easily the best game I ever went to

    For me at at least, the first half of this is in stereo sound but the second half is in mono.

    I'm drooling at all those angles that I've never seen. Really like the game 5 telecast vid especially

    I've been thinking about doing one last roy vid when he officially retires for the last time

    The game in which Roy came back from surgery was Game 4 vs Phoenix. This article is about Game 4 vs Dallas, a game I sat courtside at. Amazing. I cried as they played the Hey song after we had taken the lead.
