Greg Oden looks great!

[THE HCP]

Saw him tonight at Brian Grant's Event and he looks like he lost 20 lbs since the last game of the season.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Good to hear.

 

[Further]

[Blazer_Hippie]

HCP, how ridiculous did BRoy's haircut look?

 

[jlprk]

Looks alright...gives good quotes...maybe this is his career peak.

 

[STOMP]

good to hear... I'd always rather hear that a Big is focusing on being light/fast and in Greg's case even moreso

how are his spirits about next season?

HCP, how ridiculous did BRoy's haircut look?

I was feelin' it! A nice tight mohawk that cam to a point in the back, B.A. Barracus style! Maybe BRoy is starting to get a little attitude!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Good to hear.

I opened this thread upfully expacting to see a lame attempt at a joke. Great info, HCP.

 

[Idog1976]

Sweet now he needs to dominate and stay healthy. Thanks for the update HCP.

Brian T Smith is/was tweeting about Odens weight also...

# Lastly, Oden has been working out in Indiana with #Blazers' Medina. Oden looks slimmer than he has in at least a year. about 14 hours ago via Tweed

# #Blazers' Oden will meet Monday with a doctor for a regular update. Said there's no doubt he'll be ready for camp.

...I've always wanted GO to be more David Robinson in body and less Shaq. Lets hope less weight will be less stress on those legs!

The good news: Oden's lost 20 lbs

The bad news: It's because he had a leg amputated

Don't be silly. His third leg weighs a lot more than 20 lbs.

Anybody with Insider looked at the article on ESPN where Greg estimates his timeline for returning to play?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Sorry guys. I was conned by Blazers Players, Blazers Staff, and Blazer Reporters last time Greg "looked great". He was totally out of shape and wasn't allowed to get into shape until after the season started.

 

[inconceivable]

what do u mean third leg? you're not talking about his penis, are you??

Reminds me of all the years we heard Shawn Kemp had lost 40 lbs and was going to be a beast again... Then the same worthless fat ass would show up to camp.

I hope Greg is lighter but until I see pictures of him I won't get my hopes too high.

Trail Blazers center Greg Oden is "positive" that he'll be with the team in training camp this fall.

Oden has been working out with Portland strength and conditioning coach Bobby Medina in Indiana recently.

He has lost considerable weight while going through daily five-hour drills.

Five-hour drills.. woah. That will definitely slim him down, just don't over do it.

 

[blazerboy30]

To be honest, I'm a little surprised about the talk of him being ready for training camp. I thought, even last winter, that there was no question Oden would be ready for training camp and there would be no problems. I'm glad he is "positive" he'll be back for training camp and there haven't been setbacks, but I was already assuming this was the case.

 

[Further]

this is getting me excited.

That's funny, I remember him being the best Blazer nigh instantly. He had 5 blocks and 12 boards his first game in 26 foul plauged minutes. If he was out of shape imagine the beastiness when he gets in shape. His biggest problem was that we had ZERO perimeter defense which limited his effectiveness to say the least. His offensive numbers probably would have been better if we had gotten him the fucking rock once in awhile when he had position.

 

[THE HCP]

He did look good. I remember people have been posting on here pics of him with some extra lbs on here. Just wanted to give an update.

Question HCP, does he look skinnier then when he played in 2009/10 or about the same?

 

[THE HCP]

Now he was in a suit, so I couldn't see too much, but his face looked like his rookie year. I would love to see how much he weighs.

 

[HailBlazers]

Yup. He looked good. Next to Clyde

 

[THE HCP]

Nice find. Now find the pic where Bex is interviewing him during our last broadcast of the season in the back hallway of the RG.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Aww, he lost the flattop fade!

 

[THE HCP]

Here he is 2 years ago.
