    Dude, are you a seven footer and weigh 240+ pounds? Is your body stressed to include an 80+ NBA season, including travel and practice, or do you work in an office? You don't even compare so keep it relevant.

    I was unable to find any SO stats on Oden.

    Below is an excellent older read from a Blazer consultant who advised KP to take Durant due to Oden's health issues AND stats.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...-wouldn-t-have-drafted-Greg-Od?urn=nba-268861

    "If people that use analytics to predict player performance in the NBA, using performance analytics, meaning what they did in college, and they tell you they had Oden ranked higher than Durant, they are full of crap. There are very few statistical measures that would have rated Oden's system in college better than Durant's. Oden was injured his entire career, that one season at Ohio State. He had to shoot free throws left handed, was not efficient, didn't have a great statistical season.

    Our numbers absolutely said they should pick Durant. It wasn't even close

    My disappointment was that, in a lot of ways, [the Blazers] made the safe choice versus what I thought was the right choice."

    *I thought certain people on here were "math experts"?

    If only Greg could return to his dominant sixth-grade form...

    Add to the "fact" that he's "up 60 pounds from College" and apparently he now weighs 340lbs! We haven't had someone that heavy since Shawn Kemp. Clearly his goal is to gain enough mass to affect the tragectory of the ball by gravitational pull. It's just crazy enough to work!

    Incidentally, sources inform me that Greg now has his own handicapped spot at the Rose Garden. That's for when he doesn't take advantage of his bus pass.

    I've been told that Greg actually has slow growing progeria. While his actual age is 22, his body age is 118.

    I guess if you want to dwell on this shit, it's up to you. It doesn't change the current reality.

    Kemp only weighed that much when he was carrying his child support checks.

    That's a euphemism for something completely disgusting, right?

    Guys like JR Rider and Adam Morrison are also polishing their rings for about the same amount of value they added to the Lakers machine that produced those rings.

    All I care is how Greg is doing right now, and right now he looks great imo. Compare that to what his body looked like after MF, it's great to see his dedicated to getting in better shape this year.

    Picture was from G.O.'s twitter, posted about a month ago.

    So is Adam Morrison. I guess taking LaMarcus Aldridge or Brandon Roy was the wrong choice in that draft, eh?
