He's a great kid. Can't wait to see him play.
We got a look at a healthy Oden, and to say he was impressive is an understatement. He about ripped the rim down with several dunks, and was swatting shots away at the defensive end. He was explosive around the rim, and showed his developing outside touch. Probably most impressive is the way this 19-year old controls the middle of the paint. His defense is here. The offense is right around the corner.
Frye, who had to guard Oden most of the day, sat next to me between one of the games, and said, "that kid is a monster, just a monster. He is so strong. He has no idea how strong he is. He doesn't even realize it. He was just throwing me around," said Frye, shaking his head. Keep in mind, Frye has been with the USA select team in Las Vegas, guarding the likes of Dwight Howard and Amare Stoudemire. Kevin Pritchard, who was also in Vegas, was just telling us on the radio last week how impressed he was with Frye's defense on the Dream Team's big men.
After the workout, I asked Oden how he feels. "Pretty good," he said. "I'm here to get in shape, and am going to hit the weights like crazy." So, in other words, he's only going to get stronger.
He's a great kid. Can't wait to see him play.
his good no doubt, but his opponent in practice was n frye....cmon seriously
its awesome to have something to be excited about right.? im so stoked about this years Cowboy Season
oden's gonna be a stud.
We're talking about practice.
That quote basically described Dwight Howard to a tee. Has been out of the 1st round in the weak ass Eastern Conference yet? Good to be excited, but it takes so much more to make a champion.
This sounds like a derogatory comment about Oden, so let's examine this one line at a time:That quote basically described Dwight Howard to a tee. Has been out of the 1st round in the weak ass Eastern Conference yet? Good to be excited, but it takes so much more to make a champion.
That's a good thing. Dwight Howard is a freaking beast inside, and Oden is bigger and stronger than Howard.That quote basically described Dwight Howard to a tee.
If you don't think Dwight Howard's a stud, then that puts you in a category with SpursDynasty. Some company that is.
No, but the talent around Howard last season was certainly not very good. A lot of All-Stars, perhaps most of them, would have trouble winning a playoff series with the sort of supporting cast Howard has.Has been out of the 1st round in the weak ass Eastern Conference yet?
I missed the part where the Blazers were predicting a 2008 championship.Good to be excited, but it takes so much more to make a champion.
It will be nice to have a compe ive team here in Portland again.
ODEN IS STRONGER THAN HOWARD!?!?
Probably not right now, but he will be. No question about that.ODEN IS STRONGER THAN HOWARD!?!?
Yea there is, its not some kind of given that he will be
its good to see that he will hit the weights. however, there can be a downside. i started lifting like crazy my junior year because that was my first year on Varsity, but then i was lifting too hard that i got big and my endurance went down. Oden better be careful. all in all, i think i worried about it a little too much. i still want to see want kind of cardio shape Oden is in. it sounds like he is great, but can he keep up the energy all 4 quarters of an NBA game.
tlong
Solid bump!
Just a shame that his knees were jacked up. He would have been a great one.
lol
When are you going to switch your le and go into full blown lillard nut hugging?
I never chose that le. Kori or LJ put that there.
Classic bump lol

I believe det was the Romo-Mexico year
Bump of the year TBH
