Slamadaday: Brandon Roy on Cheikh Samb

Sit back down, Clippers fans.

There are many ways for a leader to motivate his team. He can dance like Rasheed. He reduce his teammates to tears like Kevin Garnett. He can work extremely hard off the court like Alonzo. What a leader does is everything in maintaining a team’s focus and attitude for all 82 games.

Last night, the Blazers were losing to the League-worst Clippers. Eric Gordon set the momentum in L.A.’s favor after a sick facial over two Portland bigs. So Brandon Roy did what only a few players in the League can do at will: Dominate. Sorry Cheikh Samb. Mr. Roy had to go to work.

    Where’s the Eric Gordon dunk? Don’t talk about it SLAM.

  • Monsterddan Posted: Jan.27 at 11:33 am
    That is so lame to show off on a one point no name player in samb ! The clippers suck anyway. Zee ! is right you’re biased, so Gordan flying to the rim, he’s smaller and looks a lot higher in the air !

  • Collin Posted: Jan.27 at 11:34 am
    Brandon Roy is one of the top ten players in this league. he dominates the court.

  • Monsterddan Posted: Jan.27 at 11:35 am
    Clippers players should have thugged roy like they did Steve Blake. Stupid dunk off. Still Elbow above the rim is high up for roy !

  • Ed The Sports Fan Posted: Jan.27 at 11:46 am
    Got damn. Why did he yam on him like that…ridiculous. -Ed.

  • Spaceship Jay Posted: Jan.27 at 11:48 am
    Errr.. Uh.. Dominate is a pretty strong word. But I do feel like he is a straight statistical ghost. He can drop 40 7 and 6 and you’d never know it.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.27 at 11:54 am
    They really shouldn’t let little kids see this.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.27 at 11:55 am
    Wilson Chandler had a pretty sick one too.

  • Ryne Nelson Posted: Jan.27 at 12:10 pm
    Wils had a nice dunk last night, but it was more *around* than *over*. Roy knocked him to the floor.

  • Suge Posted: Jan.27 at 12:42 pm
    Cruel & inhumane punishment… Michael Vick was more lenient. That was damn-near a hate crime.

  • underdog Posted: Jan.27 at 12:57 pm
    All-star. No doubt. Anyway this dunk is way better than Gordon’s.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.27 at 1:53 pm
    Oh for sure, Ryne, this one was much sicker. I’m just a big Wilson Chandler fan.

    brandon roy is a great player but i would not let that happen to me

  • iDizzle Posted: Jan.27 at 2:14 pm
    Hot damn, disgusting dunk. BRoy showing some his lack of athleticism……but we really need to see Gordon’s facial on LMA to see the full story. Gordon’s dunk had the crowd in a tizzy and swung the momentum towards the Clips, who were leading. On the VERY NEXT PLAY, BRoy threw down that nasty ass dunk on Samb. Samb got up as fast as he could as if to say “no big deal, I ain’t hurt”, but you could see his glaze over and you could sense he was embarrassed, and rightly so.

  • dma Posted: Jan.27 at 2:14 pm
    the best is the nasty look roy gives samb after the dunk

  • RayRayJr Posted: Jan.27 at 3:44 pm
    NASTY!!!

  • Canadian Posted: Jan.27 at 3:51 pm
    Shoulda grabbed his junk. I hear the Clippers like that.

  • Don Posted: Jan.27 at 5:19 pm
    Roy’s lack of athelicism? You did realize that when your dad told you to go suck on an exhaust pipe he was kidding, right? Roy has had two of the most spectacular dunks in the last two weeks you will ever see. He has the best straight drive to the basket of ANYONE in the NBA. Check out some of the Youtube videos and find the one where he takes the inbound lob from Fernandez. I think he caught his chin on the rim on the way down. Roy is very much one of the very best atheletes in the NBA. He tends to get the job done in an efficient manner, and doesn’t always showcase his abilities, but when he wants to - well, just watch this video and sit down.

    in the words of the great chucks swirsky…OH MY GOODNESS!!! THAT WAS SICK WICKED AND NASTY!!!!!!

  • Z Posted: Jan.27 at 7:45 pm
    Dear Cheikh,
    Nanga dèf? As a fellow Senegalese, I suggest that you don’t come home this summer. Dieuredieuf, waye.
    Z.

  • Uzi Posted: Jan.27 at 8:14 pm
    Boooom goes the dynomite. Oh man Cheikh didn’t even see that baby fly by!

  • Darksaber Posted: Jan.27 at 10:43 pm
    Knee problems? What knee problems? I prefer the one handed alley oop off the inbounds play he did last week (INCREDIBILEEEE, yes i wrote in in a foreign language, it was THAT good) but this was as in your face as you can get. Nice (Btw: Z’s line about not coming home? wow)

  • dma Posted: Jan.27 at 11:30 pm
    hamstring.

  • Ken Posted: Jan.28 at 4:58 pm
    Wow. You know the Clips suck when Cheikh Samb is gettin time in the second half of a close game.

  • BROY Posted: Feb.17 at 7:13 pm
    Roy had to jam that one down cause he saw the block or foul coming. He rarely dunks, but will if necessary.
