    Remember less than two months ago the questions about Greg were "can he play a game without getting hurt? Is he too fat? How long does it take to get in shape? Can he stay out of foul trouble? Does he have any offensive moves?

    Slowly but surely he is answering each question. There will be more questions and he will have some set backs, but he has improved so dramatically in two months that I get excited thinking how good he will be in two years.

    He is still a pup.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wilt Chamberlain averaged 63 PPG (.720 FG%), 24.9 RPG and 6 BPG as a rookie as a 14 year old. I thought Oden was supposed to be a once-per-generation big man prospect.

    Wilt Camberlain never fouled out of a game in his whole NBA career. With the new rules he would have sat his ass for half the game. (Not sure how that would have affected his other more impressive stat)
