迈克涡流的RipCityProject.com 撕开 ESPN的周五晚上波特兰开拓者队和洛杉矶快船队的比赛直播乔恩·巴里在特定的。------------------------------------- 就像我说的,我会,我决定看ESPN周五晚上播出。为了将来，我可能得改变政策了。首先，我知道我错过了在j。j。希克森的精彩时刻和韦斯利·马修斯的《不打电话》中精彩绝伦的全垒打。但这次让我差点把脚踢穿电视的可不是全能广播员。为此我们请来了Jon Barry。由于全国观众并不是每天都看开拓者队的比赛，也不像当地人那样了解这支球队的一切，ESPN就来分析一下这支球队本赛季究竟发生了什么，让他们从1月份的热门球队变成了3月份的彩票迷。他们从布兰登·罗伊开始。看到失败的蒙太奇已经够糟糕的了。随之而来的是情感上和身体上的不愉快，以至于我觉得某人的喉咙需要被狠狠地踢一脚。 Jon Barry, the brother of my favorite basketball player EVER, went on a run about Brandon, going as far as to say that Minnesota made the right call in trading Brandon on draft day for Randy Foye. Here’s my problem with all that nonsense. Of course it’s not true, for starters. You take Brandon Roy over Randy Foye every day of the week from now until the sun goes supernova and the earth ceases to exist. But since Brandon’s career is over and Foye’s isn’t, it appears to the lay person that Foye is a better long-term pick than Roy. Answer this question Jon Barry, what kind of impact did Randy Foye have on the team that he ended up playing for as a rookie? Sure Foye will play for a decade or more. He might even be a role player on a good team at some point in his career. He may even finish with better numbers than Brandon in some categories. But saying on national TV that Portland messed up by not being vigilant with the knee related red flags that everybody knew existed with Brandon is revisionist history, it’s ignorant, it’s wrong, and it should get you fired. It’s also the type of thing that might make people forget that almost nobody is more responsible for the rebirth of one of the most successful franchises in all of professional sports than Brandon Roy. I would say Portland made the right choice. ------------------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |推特
