Oden and Elliot visiting Cherry Park Elementary School.

Oden looks to be walking pretty good, plus spending time with the kids, i like it.

Only the Oregonian would run an internet article and video like this. The paper has Hicksville priorities compared to other NBA cities.

Thanks for posting this, mercykersey. I am so very sick of all the negative Greg Oden energy that gets posted here.

That was great to see. It was great to see Greg smiling and in a good frame of mind. He looks healthy and he doesn't look like a giant teenager anymore.

I never understood how people can be dicks to a guy whos had such bad luck. To me, the missing piece to us becoming a contender is Greg Oden. All his Ligaments are Perfect and he recovered awesome from the first microfracture, if he recovers the same this time(which is very likely) he can be a force on defense and rebounding, EXACTLY what this team needs in my opinion. I think the people giving greg shit are scum. If he was a jerk ya, but he seems like a good guy whos had the worst luck of any bball player in recent history.

All Star Ballots? Free Tickets? Lunch Money?

My sentiments Exactly.

Indeed, he really does make a great Blazer, people in Portland care about that stuff. Man if he can stay on the Court this city will embrace him so.
