Anyone see the Spurs preview in NBA TV?

Roy is easily a top 10-12 player in the NBA..I never understand when people think he's "overrated" and whatever..it seems as if people don't watch him play..

i live in portland. i watch roy on a constant basis. you're completely wrong about him. he's definitely an elite guard.

So Roy is better than all these people?

Kobe
LeBron
DWade
CP3
Duncan
Dirk
KG
Howard
Parker
Yao

Gasol
Bosh
Granger
T-Mac
Carmelo
Manu
Pierce
Durant


That's 18. And I'm sure I was stupid and left off some people like Amare, etc. To be honest, I haven't watched that many Portland games besides when they play teh Spurs or are on national TV and I'm that bored. But still, pretty much every single one of these players has or has helped carry their team past the first (and second) rounds. Exceptions are Durant and Granger but I think they're far superior ball players than Roy.

Btw I'd put Roy on the level of a 2nd-tier all-star like a B-Diddy or Redd. It's really not that big of a slight. These guys are brought in as franchise players but they're simply not. Much like RJ on the post-'03 Nets.

Also in this category:

Ray Allen
Odom
Stephen Jackson
Devin Harris


Harris and Roy will be better. And sure, they could probably be considered top-10 when guys like Yao and Kobe retire. But then there will be other guys better than them like Mayo.

I've watched my fair share of Portland games last season, and Roy is a very talented guy.

He just isn't a NBA top 10-12...
