Oden-Durant Debate Settled (For Now)
Much more of this in Oden’s future
ESPN’s Rick Bucher is reporting that the Portland Trail Blazers have informed Greg Oden’s camp that they will be selecting the center with the first pick in the NBA draft tomorrow evening. While this comes as no real surprise to many Buckeye fans, you can bet that GM Kevin Pritchard and the folks in Portland wrestled with this one.
Oden’s obviously the classic big man the Blazers will be able to build a championship franchise around. By all accounts, he’s a tremendous kid and will be an asset to the Portland community. Durant on the other hand, turned in some of the sickest performances I’ve seen in the college game since Carmelo. No doubt, both Oden and Durant will make fine pros.
Congratulations to Oden, the first Buckeye to be selected #1 overall in the NBA draft. A few burning questions: Are you planning to buy any Blazer gear? What kind of suit will Oden wear to the podium? Conley? Cook?
There was a quote yesterday in the Dispatch as to watch Oden was going to wear.
“The suit is here. I’m going blue, pinstripes. That’s all I can tell you. I might have some wild shoes. You all haven’t seen (size) 19 shoes like this before. A pimp hat to the side. I’ll be like, ‘What’s going on, Mr. Stern?’ Just kidding.” — Greg Oden, former Ohio State center, on his apparel plans for the NBA draft
I know I may not buy a jersey, but I would not be suprised to have a Blazers shirt. I realize I should have had this for years, but now I have a legit reason to wear it. I will probably watch more NBA games next year as well. Conley will have a sweet suit as well. Cook may have sweats on, because he is not guaranteed $$.
Blue pinstripes…boring. Although that’s not much of a surprise. Conley will go with double breasted canary yellow and DC will sport a purple suit with a mink coat and probably a cane (Playa Hater Ball-style).
Both will be sweet, but you gotta take Oden. I wouldn’t want the 3rd pick unless I needed a PG. If you’re not taking Conley it seems like there is some “bust” potential after that.
Who’s the co-ed?
dude, Oden owes here at least a $20 spot for the lapdance. She has nothing on ” too much “
Ah, “Too Much”… I think she could have been an anchor on a Buckeye line. Drop Norma in at the slot position and watch-out!
