    Sort of like your first wife's idea for you to have a vasectomy (who you promptly divorced two months after the procedure)?

    Stop making up stories. Besides, it's best for a human and a chimp not to have children.

    Why? "Mullet Children" do have some redeeming qualities.

    No, I'd call it more of a result than a cause

    I disagree. I don't think Oden will ever become a dentist, and that idea will gradually be forgotten.

    Where does he "hope" that Oden will be a failure. Actually, he stated that he hopes he is wrong.

    Bynum wasn't drafted over Kevin Durant, or seen as the next great center, was he? Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Bynum was drafted ahead of Durant actually. [​IMG]

    Not "over" though. Semantics, my British friend.

    Bynum was drafted as a prospect that was seen to have almost all the tools necessary to become a great center. If he had played in college and stayed healthy he would have been a higher draft choice maybe even #1 since Andrea was picked #1 that year, but he forgoes college and entered the draft and was 17 when drafted. But yes Bynum wasn't seen as nearly as talented as Oden coming out and of course he wasn't picked ahed of a superstar we are going to be hearing about for the next 15 years.
