BRANDON IS R O Y 2007 FINAL

If he were as clutch as Brandon.. On February the Tenth of 2004 Seattle Seachicken WR Jordan Kent played a monster game against a monster team the Pac 10 juggernaut University of Washington Huskies. Kent posted 19 points and 16 boards but was hardly appreciated by the UO student section, The Pit Crew by the end of the game. With his father's team up by 3 with 41 seconds to play Kent was fouled by Dawg Tre Simons. Only needing to hit 1 free throw to make it a two possession game Kent missed both and Will Conroy scored his seventh consecutive point for the Huskies to send the game into OT where everyone knew the Ducks would lose it. It's worth mentioning Brandon R O Y missed a 3 pointer as time expired in regulation that would have won the game for UW, another really good reason to like the R O Y. The Ducks would go on to fall to UW 95-88 and split the home stand against the Washington schools; but the victory against the Cougars was beyond hollow. Kent played at Mac with a lot of energy and respect, the guy is a class act that could not hit a damn free throw. I am happy that he was drafted by the home-squad here in Seattle, and am looking forward to him giving me a good reason to buy his jersey. There, I got rid of my beef with 3 men that I wish were as individually smart (Stoudamire), classy (Robinson) and clutch (Kent) as my man Brandon R O Y. I'm done being a hater with everyone not named Zach Randolph and Darius Miles. I appreciate all the hard work the 3 previously mentioned Pacific NW ballers have put in so I could write about them, I look forward to watching you on the TV, minus Robinson in any dunk contest.

BRANDON IS R O Y 2007 Pt. 3

I hope Brandon R O Y does not become another over-rated Huskie; When a person has a vertical leap of 43.5 inches they are able to make-up for mistakes on the basketball court. Nate Robinson will never be able to fix the mistakes he made the past two seasons during All-Star weekend. The Slam Dunk Competition has been struggling for years; an event formerly filled with real talent fell to the Hardwood crawled to the corner of the gym, curled up and died. Nate Robinson made sure the event stayed in the corner, away from respectability and dead to me not once but twice! In 2006 after Andre Iguodala got every damn fan on their feet or on the floor with the amazing the ish you see on the right Nate stepped onto the court overrated like UW in March his junior year. More then a dozen attempts later I think she dunked it, I do know she took the trophy home. Thank MJ that she didn't join his Airness 87-88 on the list of repeat dunk champions(Jason Richardson 02-03) in 2007. I do blame her for keeping Dwight Howard and the crazy 'sticker shock' out of the final. Dwight Howard threw it down in the first round of competition in 07 while putting a sticker of himself high high up on the backboard. You just know he had something way more sick planned for the next round and Kenny Sky Walker made for a way tight gold chain wearing big man dunk champion, right? I will never forgive you Nate Robinson, but I do root for you in spite of the FACT you're living a lie. You and Roy did slap the Ducks around for 3 whole years and got a little help that one time in 2004 at Mac Court..
