OSTERTAG RETURNING? Believe it or not, the NBA might not have seen the last of retired Jazz center Greg Ostertag.
Appearing in a scrimmage game involving several current University of Kansas players at his alma mater, Ostertag told the Lawrence (Kan.) Journal-World he is contemplating a comeback.
"First I have to try to get my fat butt in shape," Ostertag cracked.
Ostertag — never known for being fond of conditioning — really is serious.
"I am still young enough to play," the 34-year-old said. "Last year was the first time in 24 years I haven't played. It was fun, but I think I can still do it. I might give it a shot this year. I'll tell my agent to put my name out there and see what happens.
"I am not going to go out there and play 40 minutes or probably even 20 minutes. If I can give 15 minutes here and there, get a couple of rebounds, a couple of blocks for somebody, I'll do that.
"Like I said, I missed it, especially playoff time. Those are the times you enjoy the most," he added. "The atmosphere is a lot better. It's a lot more physical ... It's what makes the game fun."
Ostertag played 11 NBA seasons, all but one in Utah.

i've never liked oster
He wasn't in shape when he played, why would he be now?
The guy donated one of his kidneys to his sister.
What would it hurt to give him the Cherokee Parks, Mengke Bateer, Sean Marks roster spot?
Greg whoster-what?
Sweet, he should play without his fake teeth
There was a CLASSIC Greg Ostertag thread on one of the Jazz boards when they traded him a couple years back. I'll have to see if I can dig it up.
Hopefully we can pick him up along with Rodman.
Was that the guy who averaged 1 point and 1 rebound two seasons ago? Uhh.. no brainer.. I wonder which teams want him
Damn, unfortunately a lot of the pics on the Jazz site are no longer there.
