In my opinion, this wasn't even close. Sure, you could argue CP3 after that game he had Sunday night. But there wasn't a better story out there than Brandon Roy's absurdly emotional week. I understand every writer with a computer has already expressed their admiration about this already, and you might be tired of reading about it, but I want to talk about it, so I don't give a shit what you want. My blog, my rules.
Roy was a 3-time All-Star, and one of the more automatic shooters in NBA 2K10, which results in huge bonus points for me. Unfortunately, he must've traded knees with this guy at some point during his NBA travels. All right, maybe not that bad, but the fact of the matter is he lost his explosiveness. Those knees simply couldn't handle a full NBA season, at least not as a starter, especially not a go-to-guy. Roy then got knee surgery on January 18 to try and rectify it.
Now, I'm a gifted athlete, and a physical specimen, and as such I have never torn a ligament or broken a bone. The worst injury that has happened to me was when I needed stitches on my elbow after trying to luge down a hill on my skateboard and I flipped over. Suffice to say, I don't know jack about serious injuries. Which makes what he did Saturday night all the more impressive to me.
Now, if he had "simply" (Ha.) dropped 24 in the flow of the game, that would've been a superb story all on its own. But no. He did this in a 23-point comeback against the 3-seed in the West. Nuts.
Good for you Brandon Roy, and congratulations on winning Man Crush of the Week.
