Drafted in 2006, with nearly four years of experience in the NBA, Brandon Roy was nothing short of a rising superstar in the NBA, as a versatile scorer and a supreme all-around guard. He could score 20 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds any game for the Blazers, while being forced to put such an injury-stricken team on his back year after year. Suddenly, following a meniscus tear just before the 2010 Playoffs, Roy's career took a turn for the worst. It was found that his knees were degenerating. It appeared his days in the NBA could be numbered. After a strong showing in the 2011 Playoffs, there was hope that Roy would at least be able to play at a high level again, instead of the reserve role he had been restricted to the previous season.
In December of 2011, just days after the highly anticipated end of the lockout, Roy looked to start for the Blazers. Looking to shake the label of "injury-prone," Roy couldn't wait for the season to begin. Just two weeks before the season began, he had his knees checked one more time. Not long after, he was told that his knees wouldn't hold up in the grueling NBA schedule, and that there was no other reasonable option but to retire. What if it didn't have to end like this for Brandon Roy? What if he could start his whole career over?
The all-new Five-Year Reverser can only turn back time five years and two months at a time, which is fairly convenient, seeing as that's when Roy first played in the NBA. Brandon Roy bought one with his insanely large amnesty clause check, got in. and pushed "GO BACK IN TIME" immediately. Roy is a rookie again, with an added bonus. The machine somehow gave him extra meniscus!
Sorry about my insane predictability and hopeless lack of imagination.
), but yeah I would be interested to see healthy Roy and Durant play together.
