    ...interesting theory right here! Any medical experts around here want to chime in? How about legal experts?

    Wait... So before he got the inserts.. You know the first micro-fracture....

    He had knee problems before the draft and didn't tell us... What about that?

    It could have played a part but believe his body was doomed regardless. Not that the injuries were Greg's fault, but Greg should just move on and stop blaming anyone but himself for his own happiness.

    His body was doomed from the start so it is hard to tell how much was from his poor biomechanics or how much was from trying to fix his poor biomechanics.

    The MOTHERFUCKER should be happy! He got paid 25MM for 82 games. Go to Dental school so you can see if you can fit your hotdog fingers inside of someone's mouth....

    Weird how in 2007 he said it was a "mystery" how he got a season ending injury, but now a decade later he's ready to announce his findings.

    He had reason to not disclose it back then. Probably was instructed to. He has no reason to hide anything now.

    The contract that ended in 2011? It's not a big deal or anything, just odd.

    Did they force him to wear the inserts when he injured himself playing Dance, Dance Revolution?

    I'm not sure Oden's medical opinion counts for much. But I'm glad he's doing better, hopefully he saved a little of that money Paul paid him.

    By complaining about the Blazer's medical staff, he's trying to be like Bill Walton...

    "Can I get into the HOF like Bill, now?"
    "No, Greg, you've got to actually have to have won a championship."
    "Damn. What if I dye my hair orange?"
    "Sigh."

    Is Court TV still a thing? I have no idea. I refuse to watch any "reality" TV.

    That's why I never watch "Tiny Houses" or "Flip or Flop". Realty TV sucks.

    Oh. Nevermind!
