    Good for him I guess.

    I dunno, I just can't quite work myself up to caring about this. I mean, it's definitely weird to see him in a different uniform, but given his age and the egos most of these pro athletes have I can't say I'm surprised to see him attempt a comeback. And whatever his true intentions were with retirement long-term, in the short run it kind of gave the Blazers cover to amnesty him without much fallout.

    It was terrible the way he went out, and if he really has a chance to re-launch his career, good luck to him. Anyone who boos him at the Rose Garden is an asshole.

    I will sit silently. I will not cheer him nor boo him.

    I have always appreciated Switzerland, but more for [​IMG] and [​IMG] than [​IMG]

    And there you have it. Kahn's reason for signing him.

    You're looking at his medical report on his knees, not the picture of him in the Minny uniform, that's your problem.

    Shoot. If PA wants to save a few bucks, I hear that the Jeff Gillooly gang is still available for knee jobs. Or maybe it was that he's on his knees in prison giving BJs.

    Brandon Roy is a douche, I will not root for him to succeed in any way, shape, or form.

    No, because he brought 6 championships to Chicago. What did Roy bring to Portland besides some very good memories and a lot of unfulfilled hope?


    Don't get me wrong, I loved broy as much as any other blazer fan, but his going to minny stings. No way even close to comparable to Jordan's situation in DC...

    Jordan put up PER of 20.7 and 19.3 his two seasons with Washington. He was still one of the best players in the league.

    He posted career worsts in a number of categories, going alone with what Nate said, that he wasn't near the player he once was.

    Come on Denny, do you think "one of the best players in the league" comes anywhere close to describing what Jordan was for the Bulls?

    Sure, he was still an All-Star level player, but not anywhere near what he was. It was just a testament to how great he was that he could still put up All-Star numbers in his 40s.

    My point was simply that Jordan in Washington was not the Jordan that we saw with the Bulls, and similarly Brandon Roy in Minnesota will not be the Brandon Roy that we knew in Portland. That's it. Not much depth to the analysis. Obviously Roy was nowhere near as good as Jordan, I'm just saying both players should have stayed retired.
