I imagine his NBA career is now over, that this is the capstone to his fall from grace. At the very least, it sounds from the report like he's willing to accept his punishment. We'll see how long that lasts once a lawyer is involved though.
It's unbelievable that this guy was the #1 pick and expected to be the next superstar center. Now look at him. Dude needs to man up. It's weird saying this, but he just kind of seems pathetic now.
Now any smidgen of guilt I had for wishing him more injury and saying "fuck greg Oden" is gone. I wonder if that woman said some extremely inciteful things...Greg never seemed like that bad a guy.
Oden told police he dated the victim for approximately two years but broke up approximately two months ago, according to the report.
I am guessing alcohol was involved along with a bunch of mental issues he needs to deal with. Sounds like he is accepting responsibility.
"One will win championships, one will hold scoring records." he left out the last line "one will ruin his life."
I've been drunk a few times. I said stupid things. I ended up in bed with people whom I should never have looked at, but was still aware enough for it to be consensual. I never beat anyone up. Alcohol is an excuse, not a reason. I agree with Zyobt; he does seem pathetic. Someone who was supposed to be a huge star and can't get a job in the NBA. Never trained for anything else. He's still young, healthy except bad knees, and unless he's a dreadful financial manager, rich. He could do what Sam Bowie did, pick up his life and be thankful for what he has. He's not a kid any more. I hope the woman recovers, physically and mentally. I hope that jail time is a wake up call for Oden.
