    I just remember Bill Simmons being all over it on Oden pre-draft; said just watching him walk, he didn't move like someone who was healthy.

    EDIT: correction--it wasn't pre-draft; it was at the ESPY's in July of 2007, 2 weeks after he was drafted that he said Oden "moved like Fred Sanford".

    Can the mods change the title of this thread to "CJ McCollum is believable" ?

    Yeah, I remember that Fred Sanford business. Judging by how wrong Simmons usually was (and is - for someone so clueless, he sure is generous with his opinions), I dismissed it.

    Simmons did, with Chad Ford and Marc Stein as regular guests, hosted on ESPN.

    Hell, even Oregonlive used to host calls with Quick/Casey and stored the downloadable mp3s on their site years prior to that.

    LOL i didn't expect to find this.

    Here's an episode from before the draft in 07 where they talk about Durant/Oden. He specifically said Durant would be better. 20 min mark.

    Yeah, I started listening to This Week In Tech in 2005... After Paul Allen sold Tech TV to Comcast and the channel was lobotomized.

    Zion is the worst of modern pro athletes also known as a baby bitch. No doubt he’s already got his mind on New York or some other bullshit destination city.

    Obviously he's forcing his way out, because players can do that now apparently.

    I remember, pre-draft, that the difference in Oden's leg lengths was being mentioned. But it was always: "it can be corrected with orthopedic inserts in shoes"
