Greg O-DUN

Wow. This may be the worst offseason in the history of the NBA. Start with one of the worst NBA Finals in history, followed by a referee scandal that still may end up getting worse for the league. Now, Greg Oden, a legend for 4 years or so before he even entered the league is out for his entire rookie season, before it even started. Ouch. I feel real bad for the fans in Portland, and even more so for Greg Oden. Oden has a lot of haters out there saying that he has no offensive game, and this and that. Now those haters are going to attack this injury and point fingers and talk about Sam Bowie.

Oden was a beast on the college level, people talk about how he has no jump shot. Umm, why the hell would he shoot jumpshots when he easily could get position 5 feet from the hoop.

Oden will be back. However, he may never reach the heights of "Bill Russell" as some had anticipated. Amare seems to have made it back from this same surgery, but it took him quite a while. Best of luck Mr. Oden, you're a class act.
