Oden

  • Not often in my life have I ever felt sorry for a multi-millionaire but Greg Oden is one instance where I do feel sorry for a young man. Such a gift and so much athletic potential but his body (knees) are failing him. He put so much effort and work into his basketball abilities only to be having his 5th knee surgery since going to the NBA. Here is wishing a Buckeye a speedy recovery and a lot of luck getting his career back on track.

    young man ? he looks 55 im guessing he was in his 30's in high school ,no wonder he has bad knees at "24" ya right
    you shouldnt feel sorry for a guy that gets about $13 000 per made basket in his career

  • Well, the basketball portion of his life may not work out as expected, but he's young, rich, and hung like a rhinoceros. What more could you ask for really?

    Greg was unfortunate enough to have some, uh, self portraits he took of himself on a cell phone released shortly after he was drafted a few years ago. I don't know the link, but I'm sure if you Google "GREG ODEN'S GIGANTIC PENIS" you'll get the drift.

  • It's easy to feel badly for him, I mean, he already has the money, and now he just wants to play basketball. For a 7 footer, basketball is all he's ever known, and for it to be taken away, I can assure you he'd trade most of the money he has to be able to play a healthy season or two. GOOD LUCK GREG!!!

  • still dont feel bad. the sport made him a multi-millionare let alone he had to legit play 1 season of overall basketball to be worth than any of us combined.
