Brandon Dawayne Roy (born July 23, 1984)[1] is an American basketball coach and former player. He serves as the head coach of the boys' basketball team at Garfield High School in Seattle. Roy played six seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves. He was selected sixth in the 2006 NBA draft, having completed four years playing for the Washington Huskies. His nickname was "B-Roy", but he was also referred to as "the Natural" by Trail Blazers announcer Brian Wheeler.[2][3] On December 10, 2011, Roy announced his retirement from basketball due to a degenerative knee condition,[4][5] though he returned in 2012 to play five games for the Timberwolves.[6]
Born in Seattle, Roy became known for his immediate impact on the Trail Blazers.[7] Zach Randolph, then the team captain, was traded to the New York Knicks at the end of Roy's first season in 2006–07 season, which cleared the way for Roy to take on a leadership role on the team.[1] That season, Roy won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in a near-unanimous vote. He was named to two All-NBA teams and as a reserve to the 2008,[8] 2009,[9] and 2010 All-Star Games.[10]
