Oden Hired A Sports Shrink.......

[STOMP]

how well did this work for webster?

It "appeared" to work great. He was in the best shape of is life. His body language and facial expressions "seemed" day-to-night better. If anything, he overdid his workouts to the point of wrecking his foot. I don't think Webster had the same 'mental' issues to overcome that Oden had -- two distinct sets of issues. It "appears" that in both cases the results were positive. But what the hell do I know? I'm just some guy sitting in front of a gray and red computer screen.

I think you're off a year BBert. If memory serves, it was 2 offseasons ago that MW hired a shrink. Maybe it took a year for the benefits to take effect, but his 2007-8 season was nothing special. I'm hardly a big backer of his, but I was pleased that he finally shed the baby fat that year.

btw, I don't think there is anything wrong with seeing a shrink/counselor, but having the yips on your shot when shooting is your meal ticket isn't a good thing.

edit... yup, I was right on that timing

Once Oden is done with them, they can pass him along to Bayless, I think he will be the next on the roster that needs a little help from Stuart Smalley

How will a Senator from Minnesota help Oden or Bayless with their game? I know it's fucking unreal right?

Oh right I forgot I live in THIS country.

At least we know that our democratic process only selects the most qualified candidates.

I think people might be conflating the "mystery coach/trainer" that Martell worked out with last summer for the Sports Psychologist. It's useful to keep in mind that said "mystery" man claimed that he hadn't worked out with Webster because "You weren't ready to work with me."

All the man has to do to increse his stat line to 15 pts, 10 reb and 2 blocks a game is stay on the court. That's if he doesn't even improve his game. Which he will. And he will stay on the court. ...

agreed! Althought what's with the "MIP"?

I think Oden is going to make huge strides and be a great player for years to come, but him needing to regain the fun of basketball again should be a red flag.

definitely, but better now than when it's too late.
