Re: True Hoop Oden interview I read the article and one thing really stood out to me... He watches Gossip Girl? Damn... all hope is lost.
Re: True Hoop Oden interview He sounds like a guy who has zero trust in his body. I think the mental aspect of his recovery will be the biggest hurdle. And I really hope he does follow through in getting his body checked out by various doctors. Maybe there could be some vitamin/herbal supplements he could take to strengthen his bones and joints.
Re: True Hoop Oden interview It was really positive to hear that he is now eating much different. That in itself, could be a "corner turner" in his career.
Re: True Hoop Oden interview He's got serious body alignment issues. Needs to work with someone who knows how help him make some sort of adjustment, if that's possible at all.
Re: True Hoop Oden interview Boniva! [video=youtube;ovracn-uFC0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovracn-uFC0[/video]
Re: True Hoop Oden interview Yeah, but do you really believe him though? Yesterday someone on this board said he'd seen him in a mall chugging down hot dogs. How he looks at the moment is also something that would point to him not eating well and just saying the right thing... It was weird when he couldn't go into any details about it when Abbott asked him. I wonder if he's hired a nutritionist and/or personal chef. If you're earning millions doing sports, that would seem like a no-brainer to me.
Re: True Hoop Oden interview It's the 30-second spot he'd do with Eva Longoria that would take the visual pun to a new level.
Re: True Hoop Oden interview Hopefully any spot for "Boniva" he does has nothing to do with the photo's he shot with his phone....
Re: True Hoop Oden interview I've never agreed with you more. I've found diet to be an important aspect of health that you can control and lots of H2O as one of the true keys. That he sounds focused on this at 22 is a positive result of his setbacks in my eyes. Hopefully we'll see the results STOMP
Re: True Hoop Oden interview And the Lord said unto Oden: "Harken my son, for you are faced with a great decision. I have given you the frame of a titan, but now thou must choose. Will you have limbs with the strength of Hercules, or the wang of a pornstar?" And lo, the laughter of Oden was heard across the land for many a day, and there was much rejoicing amongst the womenfolk......but the basketball fans did don sackcloth and ashes, and creep away in despair.

Re: True Hoop Oden interview Hope so. I complained about his eating habits right away. Just terrible. As for vitamins/supplements mentioned above - the key takaway is that they are SUPPLEMENTAL. You cannot make up for a poor diet with pills. There is no pill that replaces all of the unknown micronutrients that you get from eating large amounts of both raw and cooked produce. If Oden wants to have the healthiest body possible for him he needs to eat a very healthy diet - and even then it will take months before real results can occur. Cell replacement takes time.
