    I think it's obvious none of those players played their rookie season after sitting out a year because of injury. To compare their rookie years is ridiculous. We'll never know what Oden would have done his rookie year if he wasn't injured and out for the season.

    actually that is most likely why he is acting like a jobber!

    I have to admit that, Kenny and Katie were what i liked most was mad they got the boot...then they family shows up and i didnt like then at first but came around..but they have been really getting on my nerves about the blazers lately. Why do they have to be minicannedhams?

    None of those players were coming off microfracture surgery. Compare him to Kenyon Martin....who really couldn't play well for a long long time afterwards.....really not until this season. Or to Amare, whose first season after microfracture was underwhelming because he couldn't jump like he could before the surgery, or like he is able to now. Took both those guys a while to get completely healthy and regain the spring in their step, their quickness and agility. People forget that before the surgery and during the draft tryouts Oden was tested on all kinds of things. Quickness, jumping ability among them. He was better than anyone.
