The Greg Oden Watch "OFFICIAL" Thread...

Here's a link to the article you're looking for:

We've got it down to either LaMarcus or Nicolas.

 

No, Oden was praised a lot for his friendliness by Quick and the media. But late in his rookie year, when trolls like you started hating on him, Quick jumped on your bandwagon and wrote a mildly critical article. Oden clammed up to him in paranoia and permanently lost his smile to everybody. Negativists like you drove him to drink.

Roy said he had found Aldridge to be distant. They had played together a couple of years before they actually talked, in the incident you describe.

 

Repped if it lets me, since I rep you often. EDIT - You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to e_blazer again

Here is the sentence I remember...

The "Big Three" holed up together for probably the only time ever, and the entire article is about Roy and LMA, while Oden hides in the bedroom.

Who is/was Joel Odom, by the way? He must have been a freelance writer who sold this story to the Oregonian?

 

I don't hate Roy. He's my favorite Blazer of all time.

 

Shame on you for posting that drivel. That is compete and utter bullshit... Now that makes ME ill... If I could take rep away from you, I would..

You sound a lot like Greg. Wanting to blame others for his drinking. Here he blames his cousin's influence but to me, it's about simple decision making. Realizing you are man now, and tell your cousin that this is MY house and Ain't no parties goin' down unless I say so! But no.. He "got wrapped up in it too".

Those are GREG'S decisions....

 

That's what I'm talking about. You should be able to take rep away from people for threads that piss you off.

 

No. He was completely irresponsible. Does no one remember the time Greg Oden played pickup ball with Natebishop at 24 Fitness? He was supposed to be resting his fucking knee!

What, are you 12?

People forget how meh Oden was when healthy. Everytime he entered the game, he picked up two quick fouls and had to sit back down. When he got back into the game, we gave him the ball in the post and he got stripped. If you want to know what a once in a generation center looks like, look up David Robinson's rookie stats. And he did that after not playing any basketball for two whole years!

 

And David Robinson was in the Air Force. Why wasn't he drinking?

 

It's not about pissing me off. It's about posting DRIVEL... You act like you've never read the Grantland story jlprk...

 

Well he was in the Navy (hence the Admiral) but I get your meaning. My cousins are in Afghanistan. I'll bet they aren't drinking with BULLETS flying past their heads....

 

He went to Air Force Academy

 

Oh ffs, google before you post.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Robinson_(basketball)

 

Read the link you just posted.

 

Are we being serious here? David Robinson was in the navy, not the air force

 

I was reading about a different David Robinson. My bad. Point stands that the basketball player David Robinson was awesome.

 

My mistake. It's besides the point.

 

That he was. Robinson and Rodman were my favorite players growing up. I got a David Robinson rookie card and he became my favorite.

 

WTF are you talking about right now? I don't like Oden... You just quoted something I said about Roy which was in response to jlprk saying that all former blazers are hated. This seems like it was meant for someone else... get your posts right.
