Greg Oden mowing lawns *video

sportsman06 · 04-18-2006, 04:29 PM

They say he's the second coming of Shaq (yea rite), but he's more like a mixture of David Robinson and Hakeem Olajawon. And he's mowing lawns here:

btw, when will Tennessee play OSU?

have you seen the guy play?? Calling him the second coming of shaq is disgracing greg oden. He will be the best player is college next year, and I suspect he will be a dominant center in the nba in 3 years.

Greg Oden = the black Shawn Bradley

When Greg Oden has been the most dominant force in the NBA for over a decade and won 3 NBA titles, then maybe a comparison to the Diesel will be in order.

hey Im just going with what I have seen from the kid. When the scouts say he is the best highschool prospect in over a decade, which includes lebron james (who btw has a great chance to be the nba mvp this year), that has to mean something. I have seen him play, Its been awhile since I have seen someone dominate the paint on both sides of the floor the way he has.

Greg Oden = stick figure

If Lebron wins it over Nash it will be a huge mistake.

The kid may be talented but saying he will be better than Shaq is a stretch, maybe Shaq at 18. There is a long way to go from where he is now to where Shaq's career will accomplish.

You're insane. I watched 2 of his high school games and was only impressed with his size. That's about it.

Shawn Bradley is about right.

Dude... Shawn Bradley was Shawn Bradley because he was white.

**milohimself** · 04-18-2006, 05:51 PM

That said, I do think size is emphasized way too much in today's recruiting. Any 7'0" schmuck is automatically at least a 4 star recruit even if he sucks.

lol @ his comments on cutting grass

but he doesnt have the weight that Shaq does. Maybe he'll put on some more weight a year or two from now.

You saying Bradley would've been a better pro if he was black? Manute Bol ring a bell?

mattvols · 04-18-2006, 06:52 PM

he will be a great player, but better than shaq? shaq is taller and the guys only 240, he is skin and bones. He will get shoved around in the NBA. He needs to get in a college weight program for 2-3 years and he'll be fine

No, I'm saying Shawn Bradley had all the tell-tales of white-boy in his game. It just didn't matter how big he was.

Minut Bol... You can't compare him to anybody, that man had some serious health issues.

skin in bones??? have you seen this kid??? he is anything but skin and bones. college weight program for 2 to 3 years?? He is already considered the best player not in the nba right now. He will win the college player of the year award next year, write it down.
