Will oden be another bill russell ...?

BobHarvey · 10-27-09, 07:24 PM

He won't even be Nipsy Russell or Jamarcus Russell or Kurt Russell.

Oden will be out of the league in five years. JMO.

Chi_archie · 10-27-09, 07:38 PM

he won't be healthy

Bill Russell revolutionized the game of basketball on the defensive end of the floor. He dominated the game blocking shots, rebounding, and firing the outlet pass for the famed Celtic fastbreak.

He has a lot better chance of being Sam Bowie.

Oden will never amount to a good sized pimple on Bill Russell's ass...

Fools..

Chi_archie · 10-27-09, 07:57 PM

his college stats don't even approach Bill Russell's let alone an above avg non-all star nba center

StraitShooter · 10-27-09, 08:01 PM

He wont stay healthy and does not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath

He won't win as many championships as Bill because there's to much parity in the NBA now .
But watch his star start to slowly rise ..he has all of the tools to be the next Shaq/Russell type player .
Don't bet against this man,fair warning .

This is a joke right?

Ralphie1412 · 10-27-09, 08:09 PM

I just spit pepsi through my nose, unreal.

daggerkobe · 10-27-09, 08:57 PM

He might be as good as Benoit Benjamin someday.

The NBA has yet to see the real ODEN .
Does anyone remember that he took OHIO STATE to the NCAAA CHAMPIONSHIP final game as a freshman ?
And I believe he was still bothered by a broken wrist .
So didn't he enter the NBA at 19 ?
I believe he did .
So he is a young 7 ft. dominating force, IF, he gets 100% healthy and stays that way !

And he's a born Hoosier,that will help too !

Oden was never dominated in college, why would one expect him dominate in the pros. Look at Shaq, Ewing, and other big time centers, they all dominated in college. Oden's hype made him go number 1. Durant and Roy together would have been fun to watch.

You sound like someone who didn't follow Oden's career like ABE did ?
Well ,I watched his basketball career since he was a High School freshman .
There is only one reason he hasn't produced like people expected ,serious injuries .
Also, he is very young,with one year of College experience behind him .
Russell had 4 years of College,so did Chamberlain,and Shack,right ?
You doubters ,seem to be way too hasty to bury the man .
Oden will more than likely have you people on a regular diet of crow sooner or later,maybe this year ?

ABEHONEST · 10-27-09, 09:55 PM

I just checked Portland's website and found out that ODEN is an old man...all of 21 years .
Do you fellows like crow barbecued or fried ,I am a good cook ?

You obviously are no judge of talent. The guy is a waste of a roster spot. Completely worthless. Put that in your pipe and smoke it when he is out of the NBA in a few years.

Well duh Godzillla, go to Portland's website and get the latest update on ODEN .
I did a few minutes ago...now how did you want that crow ?
I sense through ABESNOSE that you are snowblind .
Do you live in Denver ?

Godzilla · 10-27-09, 11:12 PM

The latest on Oden? Did they cut him? LOL

Chi_archie · 10-27-09, 11:29 PM

Przybilla is the next Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Kinda late in his career for that isn't it Chi ?
Go with the kid Oden for Portlands future .

Chi_archie · 10-27-09, 11:47 PM

I'd take Przybilla's performance tonight anyways

Shortstop · 10-28-09, 12:12 AM

Greg Oden is a Big Useless Oaf! Oden is perhaps the most overrated waste of a draft pick since Sam Bowie.

Here's the upside ...he is shooting 333 percent,not so bad is it ,and 12 rebounds in 26 minutes ,not so bad .
Are u people diehard Laker fans ?

jsmithj88 · 10-28-09, 01:29 AM

is oden even in the top half of the league at center?

TGHMak · 10-28-09, 01:32 AM

He also had 5 blocks and 7 turnovers

ipickwinners · 10-28-09, 01:33 AM

the only thing thats noticeable of odens game is he is tall....guy is not overly impressive at all and shows huge signs of having a career plagued with injuries. with that being said, this thread is an absolute crock of s$it

What I find noticeable about him is that even though he is 21 years, he looks about 40.

Oden sucks!

Art Vandelay · 10-28-09, 01:56 AM

He'll show flashes of Bill Russell but he's way too injury-prone to have the kind of stellar career that Bill had. I only hope Blake Griffin doesn't go down the same injury road Oden is on...

tripp · 10-28-09, 01:58 AM

Wow, I love the future potential for Oden, but saying he could be up there with Russell when he hasn't done shit in the NBA since getting drafted is a major reach

I think he'll be a very good big man in the NBA after he has a couple of years of maturing and learning the game a bit more, but i don't ever see him being up there with all time greats like Russell, and Shaq, nowhere even close to them.
