Roy: 'Good chance' of a comeback

Darius Miles came back too but where is he now. Just stay retired.

He needs to ask Kobe about that treatment...

Brandon I'm a big time Blazer fan. But don't do it. It's not worth it when your in a wheel chair at the age of 33. Family is more important then basketball. Don't ruin what's left of your knees just so you can play 50 games a year.

I don't know why I quoted the first person?

Roy...... There is not another player in the NBA i would love to seen return and dominate like he did.... but he's gotta be sure that His knees are 150% before he should come back....

Addiction comes in many forms sometimes it's hard to notice because we place value judgement on what's good and what's bad. All he's known is basketball so of course he'll sacrifice the prospect of a good long future without basketball for a brief period of second chance basketball. It's no different from what drugs did to Whitney. Do it Roy... experiment your future life for the love of basketball!.... what shall it take for the young to learn. Children know the ideal but they practice the practiceable

Darius Miles was never half the player B.Roy was in his prime though, big difference. When you start as mediocre there is nowhere to go but down....

thing is playing 82 games is far different than working out a few hours a day at the Y. There is not a doubt in my mind that he could come back, play a few minutes, be a bench guy.....and if that is what his goal is POWER TO HIM. but there is NO WAY he can come back an be an upper echelon star player anymore with those knees. And I don't know if earning more $ is a factor or if he's stable, but there is NO WAY any team would give him any big or lengthy contract.

yup-if he wants to come back as a bit player, earn a few more $live the NBA live of partying and jet-setting....they I go no problem with that- cause he's young and why not? but if he truly thinks he could get back to being the old roy....for 82 games? he's smoking the good stuff

He IS in Portland where Sheed & Stoudamire where gettin it from...wouldnt be surprised! HA

Stay retired...you don't have enough to make a difference night in and night out!!!

You're being over dramatic.

"....in a wheel chair...."? Seriously?

AT WORSE, he'd be looking at joint replacement surgery. Won't make him able to run up and down a b-ball court, but he'd get around just fine.

I say, it's better to go for it and fail, than to pass on it and spend the rest of his life wondering; "what if?".

agree-its not like he's playing football and getting mauled

But is Roy thinking about later part of his life? I mean, maybe it's not in his plan to finish his career as a player... What about kids (not sure if he has any)? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to physically perform the moves that made him an all star player to his son? I want to see him play, but I don't particularly enjoy watching t-mac today in comparison to t-mac from a few years back going head to head with Kobe for best player in the league.
