    Sad story. Guy was my favorite player. Watched him every game since he was a rookie. I wanted him to play, but he owes Portland nothing. He put this city on his back, and brought us back to relevancy. He needs to take care of himself.

    Best closer Ive ever seen. Heart of a Champion. True leader, Role model and my hero. Portland should retire his jersey.

    Emily life will be okay I promise! Your minimum wage job is okay for now, but BJ's for $10 would be more profitable you should check it out! I also heard posting on Craigslist is a good idea!

    Never really seen a player like this before.

    He was one of the slowest 2 guards I've ever seen but his first step was so deceptive.

    He can easily still play 25 mpg and be effective.

    I think he doesn't want to ruin his career averages.

    jordan retired averaging 20 ppg when he was 40. he had 2 years left where he could have made millions and still have been a factor.

    why did he retire?

    hm.......lets see.......

    jordan number 1 all time points per game

    only about .03 ahead of wilt

    play 1 more season he would be #2

    Thanks for stopping by Rake

    Kenyon Martin had problems with his knees most of his career but still played for over 10 years. Roy should sit a year out and see how he feels a year later like Kenyon did.
