The game slows down for the greatest of athletic performers in almost an unexplainable way, the way it always slowed down for Michael Bradley.

Roberto Alomar, the greatest Blue Jay, played only five seasons in Toronto. Doug Gilmour, the beloved former Maple Leaf, played parts of six seasons with the Leafs. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry each lasted nine years with the Raptors. Wendel Clark’s first of three runs with the Leafs lasted nine years also. The recently honoured Jose Bautista played nine full seasons and one month with the Jays. Ray quarterbacked the Argos for seven seasons, winning two Grey Cups.

There is no Hall of Fame exclusively for Toronto athletes. But, if there was, Bradley would be on his way there, along with the names mentioned above. Bradley spoke passionately that sales pitch day, pulling his own Messier, all but promising a championship or at least promising winning soccer. He wasn’t saying it to stick something back in your face. He was saying it in celebration because he believed it would happen, he knew it would happen, that his proclamation would come true.

The past two years have been difficult. His body was getting older, his health to play professional sport was challenged.
