Props to Oden for immediately owning up to it instead of going into exile like Tiger Woods. It's unfortunate because he really didn't do anything wrong. He just used poor judgement because if you're any kind of celebrity something like that will always get out. People suck that way. But hey, it could be worse (think Ken Jeong in The Hangover).
Good for Oden. Not for sending the pic in the first place (he should PROBABLY exercise better judgment) but for being honest and not making a huge deal out of it. Or a huger deal than it was. And good for Oden for not making it a huger deal than it was before he took the pic. Ed O.
Newsflash: Oden quits basketball because of scandal! Says there's only one career that'll take him now - United States Senator
Ah to be young and dumb again.............I had a kid working for me when I worked in the oil fields. He was about 20. A divorced woman about 30 introduced him to the wild thing. He was in love. She has a party at her house. Takes him to the bedroom then ties his naked body to the bed. Hot stuff right. Then she brings in everyone from the party and takes pictures all the while laughing at his discomfort. Women............gotta love 'em.
Serious props to G.O. Like Pritchard said, he's a great kid who made a mistake. Seriously big (large African American penis jokes notwithstanding) of him to own up to everything, take what he gets like a man, and to keep the identity of the B*tch who burned him to himself. I think Canzano was completely right. Greg's been pretty childish thus far -- DDR, youtube karaoke vids, sexting, etc. but it seems that this deal has matured him. Seems like he's become a man and I'm proud of him for that. The kid JUST turned 22 years old. The stupid stuff that I did at 22 is amazing, and if I were as big of a celebrity as he is, and all my stuff went online I'm positive I couldn't have dealt w/ it as well as Greg did. What a badass. Love ya big fella.
lol true.. such a somber little press conference for something so stupid, like he did something majorly wrong. This will be looked at later on and just be laughable. I bet all the Blazers are laughing at him right now.
Dude is embarrassed. I'd probably be embarrassed too. Maybe Greg didn't feel like he was getting enough action so he leaked the photo on purpose. Most girls I know are scared of something that big though...
