He looks like a completely different person and moves like a SF!
 
Awesome. Hopefully, he can one day return to that state.

BTW, is that James Harden (# 64) @ 7:00?
 
That video reminds me of one thing I hate about Oden's game: the way he swings on the rim after a dunk. For a guy that's 7 feet tall, it's really not a big deal to dunk, yet Oden acts like he's done something amazing each time.

It has never seemed like he thinks he's done something amazing to me. It's just something he does.. He doesnt ever stare at the crowd or opposing players like a lot of players do (Amare).
 
So depressing. He could be one of the biggest busts in the history of the NBA. Time will tell.
 
This was before Greg was paid almost $20 million by the Blazers. I just hope he gets his college degree this summer, since that's where his focus seems to be in the summer.
 
its just depressing to see how well he moved back then vs now.

ugh
 
This is just silly. Anyone who remembers what Shaq looked like in high school knows that a gain in mass is not necessarily correlated to effectiveness in the NBA.

Oden has been a very good player... or hurt.

All he needs to do is stay healthy. I'm not sure that him carrying some extra muscle mass is the reason that he's had the injury problems he has, and thinking that he can get back to where he was in high school is unrealistic.

Ed O.

I actually like it.. I want someone who has nothing but power and Agression on this team... I want him being an enforcer with a "Hulk Smash" mentality. And if trying to rip the hoop down is part of it.. I like it!
 
So, from watching them in High School, we can tell that Oden is at least as good as the Mighty Derrick Caracter! If only he could be that good again...

Wow, when Ed is the voice of reason, you know you've got problems.

You know who actually should be depressed? The Miami heat, for drafting Beasley. The Memphis Grizzlies for drafting OJ Mayo. Those guys have never been injured and they're still at best average NBA players. Oden, when healthy, puts up ridiculous numbers.

Finally, remember this: we didn't deserve to win the lottery in the Oden year. So anything we get out of Oden is a bonus.

Finally finally: with Mr. Superstar Durant and the entire team healthy ALL YEAR, the Thunder had a worse record than the Blazers. Just a thought.

I think it's just Greg having fun, but just the same I wish he'd stop. It makes me wince and watch his ankles every single time.
