Well I'm not about to make a wager that Oden is going to win a championship sitting on the bench the next year after he signs with the Heat.

The best way to avoid injury is to make sure the muscles that support the knee are fully strengthened and I'd argue that jumping and landing are the hardest thing on somebody's knees

I'd argue being a catcher is much harder on the knees. Mogul skiing and having some 300 pound dude cut block you a couple dozen times a game probably get my vote too

As for this being a contract year, not playing at all might be the only shot he's got at getting a contract. Here's the logic: 1) If he plays and gets hurt again he's done, and 2) if he doesn't play at all he can't get injured and there will still be enough of a question mark that somebody might actually make him an offer.

If Greg catches an elbow and breaks an orbital bone, no one is going to offer him a contract if X months later it's healed up and chomping at the bit ready to play? He separates a shoulder on a nasty fall and no team in the league is going to take another chance on him? You really believe that? Or is this over the top pessimist thing an act? Teams are going to stick with their Chris Johnson types when Greg Oden is available?

Being Nancy Kerrigan is pretty hard on the knees.

If Oden suffers another serious leg/knee injury he's done ... as in I don't think he's going to continue playing.
 
1) If he plays and gets hurt again he's done,

After deep insightful thought, I get that cuckoo thing now! I think Barfo means that while it's true that another team will take a chance and sign Oden if he has recovered from a future injury, his playing career will be done.

Barfo needs me to interpret his cryptic aphorisms to the outside world. Stomp needs me to interpret his cryptic cartoons.

I don't deny my need for you, but in this case it was Nik who said that. I merely mentioned jiggling Oden.

Guys, guys, guys. Nik. Clearly, it means he's playing pick up basketball. Remember when he played with Nate Bishop? "Running" is slang for playing full court basketball. When someone wants to play, they say "wanna run?" Oden is playing basketball again. No one from the team is allowed to work with him so he's been playing on his own.
 
Barfo, Nik, KingSpeed, what the hell is the difference? You guys just substitute in the right name whenever I post. In Hinduism, we are all one and we are all together. See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky. I'm crying.

KS is one with the players (or at least a player) in a way that Nik and I are not, so far as we can remember.

Come together right now over me.

Well, how bout a mile over me.

Bullshit.
 
Oden's looking great.

In other news, Shawn Kemp has lost 40 pounds over the summer and is going to be a beast this year!

I also heard that Nate was really going to emphasize pushing the ball on every possession. The Blazers will be a fast break team for sure
 
The info about him running is from his Twitter account, not Facebook.
 
Why isn't Greg running from those two demon possessed children?
