Brandon Roy had degenerative knees since birth. The doctors told Kevin McHale that he wouldn't last 5 years in the NBA because of it. That's why he decided to draft Randy Foye ahead of him. Of course the Blazers love their chronically injured players and happily took Roy.

As a hoops fan, one of the biggest things I always hate having to witness is seeing elite level talents being taken down by injury. The T-Macs, the Penny Hardaways, the Grant Hills, or you can even mention Roy’s former teammate Greg Oden who had all of the intangibles to become one of the next great big men, but simply never had the opportunity to live out a healthy career. But, Brandon Roy was special, man. I keep telling people that dude is hands down one of my favorite players of all-time. He simply had it all, every single weapon you would want in a two guard and more. He even had that dawg mentality to him, never backing down from any challenge, and rose to many occasions in clutch situations to let people know he was about that. When I’m reminded of the name, he’s one of those I genuinely get sad about. I don’t like those questions of “What could’ve been?” But, nothing but respect to B. Roy. An absolute pleasure to watch during his best years in that Portland Trailblazers uniform🙏

Idk if he surpassed Wade. 2009 was largely just the only season Wade was able to start and end the season healthy so he got to show the player he really was. I think Olympic play hurt his career along with Melo's later on and now Middleton's going through it largely due to his running the Olympics. Not getting full off-season to recover after playing 82 games or more and then getting right back to it is rough on the body.

If and and Greg Oden could've stayed healthy and meshed with LaMarcus Aldridge who did stay healthy and remained productive, Portland could've been a contender ind the late 20000s and early 2010s. Also, very unfortunate his knees failed him since he wasn't super athletic (like Derrick Rose or Amare Stoudemire). He was more of a skill player. Speaking of Amare Stoudemire, you could do a stunted Growth on him. All that athleticism and not able to become a better defender and rebounder. Also, his knees failed him too.

At the time Roy was blossoming, I thought to self he’s the closest thing to Michael Jordan since his retirement and that’s simply because MJ and Roy had no fat to their game. They were so fundamentally sound…clean. They didnt need a fancy Kyrie dribble for separation. They could both pull up and shoot over you with explosiveness. They played at their speed. And yes, Jordan was flashy but, only when necessary and to thrill the crowd. He and Roy didn’t depend on it. Tim Duncan same but, he wasn’t explosive. Roy and MJ were explosive and under control and clean. Rare combo.
