Brandon Roy’s Soul-Crushing Dunk on Cheikh Samb
Brandon Roy’s checklist for the last week looks something like this. Tell the media that you’re going to “give them something special” and then finish a game with 10 steals. Check. Come out and score 30 the next night. Check. Embarrass someone on the Clippers worse than anyone on the Clippers has been embarrassed all season. Check.

Roy had the look of a ultimate warrior there. The more he has that look the better Portland has a chance to get in the post season and ultimately become championship contenders. They just don’t have that lead dog on their team. Roy looked like there. The coach shouldn’t be the toughest competitor on a team. Roy certainly has been a bit “darker” in his mannerisms this year. That is a Great thing for Blazers…

That might has well been a finishing move off of Mortal Kombat with the fatality of dude who got dunked on not being able to play no more this year.
All you need is that creepy voice first to say “FINISH HIM” on his way to the basket and then go “Excellent!” after it’s done, cause that was plain sinister.

Austin Burton says:
Damn, the Blazers announcers are still complaining about the refs: “That had to be a foul.” Never mind that you could say Roy pushed off Samb if you wanna get all picky.

What made that dunk even more impressive is he did to quiet the crowd-which was up and cheering because of a eric gordon dunk on aldridge a little before his dunk!!that steve novak GUY SHOULD BE IN THE 3 PT CONTEST-DAMM HE CAN SHOOT!!

Coach needed to call a timeout after that… I think that crushed the soul of the entire team, seeing one of their guys get yoked on like that!

Samb’s soul already had been crushed by that Mo Evans 2-hand reverse dunk off the inbounds steal in pre-season.

i can totally see this as one of those dunks that will be underrated and not be on the end of the season top 10 dunks countdown. but thats the dunk of the year so far. this one and wade over okafor. the josh smith dunk isnt as impressive to me cuz it wasnt over a big man and nash didnt try to jump with him (not that he could anyway). just my opinion

Samb was only playing basketball for like 4 years or something when the Pistons went out and signed him.
I was sad to see him traded…Dude has a sweet jumpshot for a 7′2″ guy…

Matt says:
Why was this embarrassing? I mean the dude was late on the rotation and tried to block the shot. Should he just not try?

karizmatic says:
I agree with that dude, what has gotten into these guys? People are just dunking on defenders right now.
