The Legend, The Natural, Brandon Roy

Found December 11, 2011 on Hooped Up: Atlanta Hawks:
PLAYERS: Brandon Roy,  Ron Artest
TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers

“Roy is probably the best player I’ve played against. To me he is the best shooting guard. Not on defense now, defense is kind of suspect. He’s the best player I’ve played against, outside from a guy from my hood in Queensbridge. A guy named Mike Chafley. He went to jail a couple of years when he was 15 or 16 years old, but he was the best player I played against, and now it’s Roy.” – Ron Artest
