good grief... you ought to. Oden = Sabas??? Did the doctors leave gauze in Greg's knee when they performed the MF causing a horrible infection and huge amounts of scar tissue to form? Did Greg age 10 years in the last 2 or is he just 21 y/old? This is goes well beyond your normal glass half empty views. Those recent team USA practices revealed GO running the court with speed and ease that (unfortunately) Arvydas couldn't come anywhere close to as a Blazer. That one catch and spin dunk on baseline highlight was a jaw-dropping explosion of athleticism, yet you're comparing him to a guy that couldn't get a midweek Oregonian under his heals when he elevated and whose running was more of a shuffle? humble isn't the word I'd use to describe your opinion here, but you're welcome to it STOMP
Questions STOMP can you link that video with the turn around dunk and tell me the minute mark? I'm a glass 2/3rds full kind of guy when it comes to Oden. Love him and look for confirmation biais to help me further my pre-determined narrative. Seriously though I always like more evindence that "The rumors of Oden's game dying has been greatly exaggerated" Thanks in advance.
no problem, here's the link for some reason this video doesn't give me a minute ticker to be able to tell you exactly when to look for it or let me advance it, but the specific play happens about 2/3rds of the way in. I don't know how anyone could look at any of that video and be reminded of Sabas. I especially liked him anchoring the D getting stop after stop... he's grabbing boards, loose balls, and contesting/blocking a lot of shots. Dude looks very athletic STOMP
Here's the youtube of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbP2bRnbpxQ It's about 5:20 in. But also look at 3:20 when he contests a jumper, turns around and leaps for the rebound. Look how high he gets off the ground.
Thanks STOMP and mgb! Yeah that dunk at 5:20 is pretty damn beasty and he got WAY up for that rebound. I don't foresee to many rim checks next year. I wish they had caught more blocks on tape.
