Oden accepts offer to train for Team USA this July

To be fair, we're still not sure you're not just Shooter's worst nightmare given sentience over the internet.

 

Crandc lives here in spirit!

 

Greg needs that moment where he realizes he is every bit as good as the competition. Playing/practicing against the best in the world might give him that "moment"

 

Exactly. The higher the level of competition against which he plays the better. So, has Nate dropped off the Olympic squad? Who are the coaches this time 'round?

 

I would love to hear that Oden is spending a lot of time around guys like Dwight Howard, LeBron and Amare. These physical specimens who had heaps of expectation piled on to them at such a young age.

Particularly Howard. That guy should be his role model for the next few years.

 

Thanks for the link!

I think this is great news too. He'll be competing against and learning from the best.
