    At this point I'm rooting for the guy. I was bitter years ago but I'm so beyond over it hope he turns things around in his life.

    Debut? There was a post a couple months ago about him playing a game and then I think he had to sit out a few games (or more) after.

    Yeah, they must have counted rebounding warm up shots.

    What if Greg Oden could finally stay healthy and goes to the Spurs and wins a championship with LaMarcus. Would you hate him again?

    I never hated him, just didn't like how he acted, handled himself and talked about his time here. Now if that scenario happens I would be so shocked to watch that story play out it would be honestly captivating to watch.

    I wouldn't. He'll never be an important part of an NBA team.

    That would be awesome. As long as he bangs LMA's wife or girlfriend. Preferably both.

    Besides, if we're gonna go that far he needs to go play with Kobe before they both retire.

    Greg Oden has jaw-dropping Chinese basketball debut

    Eight years after he was the No. 1 pick, three years after he was waived (for the first time), Greg Oden’s potential still turns head. Even from China.

    The 7-foot Ohio State product, grabbed by Portland ahead of Kevin Durant in 2007, dealt with surgeries and recoveries for his NBA entirety, a start-and-stop that never quite started. He has become a cautionary tale, a player so filled with potential but so lacking in health. With each knee surgery came a sigh, a what-could-have-been longing for the center whom Steve Kerr called a “once-in-a-decade player.”

    But Oden insists his story still is being written, and he’s taken to the Chinese Basketball Association when no NBA team would take a flier. After one game with the Jiangsu Dragons, the NBA and its fans are reminded of just what a special talent he is.

    Oden put up 19 points, 23 rebounds and four blocks in 17 minutes, an otherworldly performance in another world on Sunday. The Chinese league is not the NBA, of course — this is the same league Stephon Marbury dominated and players such as Steve Francis, Gilbert Arenas and Tracy McGrady made stops at — but still, that statline in a 79-76 win reminds of the optimism that once followed Oden wherever he went.
