hi got

you gonna be ready for the upcoming season? or should we expect another blowout?

[tlongII]

He will be ready. And you will be ed.

[Indazone]

Oden is not injury prone. He will be the next Patrick Ewing.

[Bill_Brasky]

There won't be a season, so come October he'll be able to attend ACL in Austin and tear it up!

There won't be a season, so come October he'll be able to attend ACL in Austin and tear it up!

so we won't be able to see another NBA game if there's no season becuase the end of the world is in 2012 so we're ed

speaking seriously about Oden for a second, what if he never had these injury problems? What kind of player do you think he'd be?

I know at the time of the draft he got alot of Russell/Shaq comparisons, but obviously seeing him even in limited playing time, barring injuries he still never would have gotten to that level.

I say that if he never had these injury issues, he'd be a bigger, stronger Tyson Chandler. Still a pretty damn good player.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Yeah, I think a Mutumbo type with maybe a better offensive game. Even if he stayed healthy he wasn't a naturally good offensive player.

[redzero]

If he stayed healthy and if he stayed out of foul trouble, he would have been a solid defender. I doubt that he will ever come close to reaching his potential.
