portland, or—although portland trail blazers coach nate mcmillan has repeatedly warned his team about using the basketball around "valuable" and "really fragile" center greg oden, several players accidentally knocked the seven-footer to the floor with a carelessly thrown ball thursday.
"i can't believe it," roy added. "the ball barely touched him."
according to team sources, roy, point guard andre miller, and forwards nicolas batum and lamarcus aldridge picked up a basketball in the blazers practice facility and started bouncing it near oden, an exquisite but easily broken player portland purchased in 2008 for $6.7 million.
As the teammates continued to fool around, their play reportedly grew riskier and more aggressive, with players dribbling the basketball very close to the delicate center and passing it dangerously close to his body and over his head.
Sources confirmed that after an errant pass from miller careened off roy's fingertips and hit oden's shoulder, oden teetered from side to side for a tense moment—during which unbelieving players found themselves unable to move—before toppling to the ground just out of reach of a diving roy.
wtf?!?!
