Oden Will Be A Never Was....Maybe?

Waldini:

Greg Oden went to college with a lot of hype. And he came into the league with a lot of hype. Unfortunately I've only seen him play like 3 games in 5 years b/c he's always hurt. The experts say he's like Bill Russell b/c he's supposedly going to be a game changer on the defensive end. But I say more like Bill Walton b/c despite the talent, dude can't stay on the court. Thoughts?

Gangsta D:

You can't even say he's Bill Walton, because Walton actually dominated before succumbing to injury. Oden's more like Benoit Benjamin right now. I don't know what he needs to do to stay on the court, but honestly, I don't think the Blazers miss him all that much.

Waldini:

If they want to be considered one of the elite teams, they better get him on the court. Otherwise, they are just another fun team to watch....and get beat by Lakeshow Reloaded

Gangsta D:

Will he REALLY make them an elite team? We haven't seen him 100% healthy since...well we've never seen him 100% healthy. Do we know that he will take them to that next level, or is he just gonna be another 7 foot stiff? I don't know.

Waldini:

Based on my NBA Live 09 game he does. I'm just sayin.

Gangsta D:

Well due to that scientific study, I guess you have a point:)
