Greg Oden is a big man with great skills on the hardwood.
After sitting out a year with injury, Greg Oden is starting to have the type of games everyone thought he would.
Oden put on a show down low, violently shaking the basket standard and shot clock with five two-handed dunks in the second half, including a thunderous rebound slam with 6:01 to play that pulled Portland to 94-91. But the Warriors twice knocked the ball out of Oden’s hands while he wound up to dunk in the final …read more

another chapter is born. Greg is hurt again. Still no NBA baskets for Greg Oden.

You would think it is the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain or would that be Arvydas Sybonis? Look that one up younger sports readers.
Portland is going crazy over Greg Oden. Anything he does is big news.
Greg sprained his ankle in practice. You would have thought the stock market crashed. Oh, that’s right, the stock market did crash.
Bad analogy.
You would have thought your grandma fell down and broke her hip or something. (hope she didn’t)
The frenzy over his ankle baffled …read more

Rudy Fernandez
The Blazers purchased the rights to Rudy Fernandez from Phoenix.
Rudy will actually make less money to play in the NBA than if he had stayed in Europe. If you flash back to the Olympics, Rudy was an outstanding player for Spain, the Olympic silver medalists.
Fernandez has been a huge surprise in early games with his ability to make precise passes to teammates. In one game he threw two passes between a defender’s legs.
The Blazers knew Rudy could score and were claiming …read more

Greg Oden
Last year the Portland fans went crazy when the team drafted Greg Oden from Ohio State.

Kobe is flat out a great scorer
The Bulls have got to be wondering what they were thinking.
Hold on to Luol Deng and pass on Kobe Bryant?
Luol Deng. Now how many votes for the All Star team did he get? Hmm, there was that one from his mother. And that one from his agent.
Oh well, Luol is going to be great, right? Right?
Kobe is great and has been since the day he stepped on the court.
GM Mitch Kupchak should get more credit for not pulling off any deals.
Adrian Wojnarowski, …read more
