The Dallas Mavericks and the Portland Trailblazers are scheduled to play Game 3 of their 1st round series tonight at 10:30 pm ET in Dallas. Dallas leads the series 2-0, but the Blazers gave the Mavs two good games despite getting only 2 points from their fearless leader, Brandon Roy. Brandon has been marred by knee injuries this year and said injuries are rumored to be career-threatening. We take a look back at his young career with hopes that he will be able to perform at the level he's accustomed to. Here's to B-Roy, get well homie!

Blocking Jordan Farmar in College

DATE: 2/11/2006
COMPLEX SAYS: Roy flew under the hype radar for much of his college career, playing for the University of Washington. Then he started making plays like this on the reg, and took home Pac-10 Player of the Year honors for his senior season. Peep how BRoy notices Farmar bolting to the other side of the court after the made free throw and times the block perfectly. Pinned that shit to the backboard. You just can't teach that. 

Abusing Carmelo Anthony

DATE: 10/29/2009
COMPLEX SAYS: To paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton: a defender in motion will remain in motion, especially if he gets juked clear out of his kicks. Either Melo absolutely refused to play D or Roy is just that good. He makes dude run into his own players as if it were the Generals vs. the Globetrotters and hits the jumper.

Posterizing David Lee

DATE: 3/31/2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Remember when folks were up in arms about the Knicks letting David Lee walk and giving STAT all that cake? Maybe they forgot this little clip. BRoy straight mushes D-Lee while throwing it down. Get the funk outta my face. Word to Jackie Moon. 

Tripping Up Josh Howard

DATE: 12/22/2009
COMPLEX SAYS: Don't mind Josh, he's probably high as a kite. Brandon Roy makes him fall over himself and hits the J. Get it? Remember kids, the step-back always wins.

Slicing and Dicing the Knicks

DATE: 2/8/2009
COMPLEX SAYS: This guy has a little Jordan in him. He's clutch and he absolutely torches the Knicks whenever they meet. The Knicks' lackluster defense collapses giving Roy a lane to the basket. Somewhere, Charles Oakley's rolling over in his lawn chair.  

Wild'n on David West

DATE: 11/7/2007
COMPLEX SAYS: Hear that "thomp?" Roy seems to keep elevating, just waiting for the right time to blam it on David West's face. No pause.

Slamming It on Cheikh Samb

DATE: 1/26/2009
COMPLEX SAYS: BRoy welcomes Cheikh Samb to the L and probably ended his career, simultaneously. No worries, Cheikh, you've been immortalized with your very first poster! Someone give this man a prize! A bag for his head, preferably.

Dropping 52 on the Suns

DATE: 12/18/2008
COMPLEX SAYS: Roy dropped career high 52 points along with 5 boards and 6 dimes on these fools. Here's hoping dude can regain this form, and soon.

Never Missed a Step

DATE: 2/25/2011
COMPLEX SAYS: This is what this man does. His second game back from injury and he hits a three plus he D's Lawson up to send it into OT. Let's hope the doctors are wrong and BRoy has more than two years left in those knees.

Game-Winner Against Rockets

DATE: 11/6/2008
COMPLEX SAYS: Make sure you watch this entire clip, because BRoy hits not one, but two incredibly clutch jumpers to single-handedly put down the Rockets. Don't act like you heard, kid, act like you know.
