[...] i really really want an iRoy.Â It’s the coolest iPod around.Â I’m actually not a sports writer or a western conference coach so i doubt an iRoy will be coming my way. As a fan i want Brandon Roy to make the all star game, it would be a reward for the whole team because Roy alone doesn’t win all these games.Â I really don’t think B.Roy cares as much to make the all star team, it’s more of a fan thing.Â As cool as the iRoy is, it may not be as cool as the B.Roy leather man.

The B-Roy story is a great example of why the NBA should require four years of college and/or a college degree to enter.

The only reason I follow the Blazers is because I loved watching B-Roy play in college. I know that’s at least one other poster’s reason; seems like the NBA would get a ton more press and better quality basketball if they required either four years of college, or a degree, to play.

Only getting a degree is an option because some people do finish their collegiate work in three years; I thought Spencer Hawes was a terrific candidate for that.

Is it ironic that a team owned by Paul Allen who made his billions at Microsoft are using an Apple product to promote a player?

It’s all about Steve Blake. Vote him to the all-star game.

Great promotional idea, and very necessary when you play in Portland in relative obscurity and there are so many great guards in the NBA Western Conference.

I think Roy’s contributions and leadership go far beyond the raw statistics and he is chiefly responsible for Portland’s amazing turnaround and subsequent success.

If you’re voted into the all-star game but nobody watches, did it really happen?
