    Oden sucks, he was overhyped from the day he enrolled at Ohio St. He's a big clumsy oaf who can't play. Combined with the fact he gets hurt when the fucking wind blows too hard, and yes, he is a gigantic bust.

    I wish I could remember who the clowns were who thought I was nuts and laughed me off of MM when I said Roy Hibbert would not only be a better pro, but a MUCH better pro, than the big stiff.

    SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS
    I don’ think I was part of that particular discussion, but had I been I would have told you that you were crazy. I never thought Oden would be worthy of a #1 overall pick, but I did think he'd be a consistent 12ppg/11rpg/2bpg guy, while I thought Hibbert was a beneficiary of playing at a school known for producing Morning, Mutombo, Ewing, etc. I didn't like Hibbert’s game in college and thought he'd bust out; however, he proved me wrong.

    When he played Oden wasn't that bad 9ppg/7rpg, but the guy never played. Injuries have robbed him of a promising career. I have to believe Portland will never pass on a young stud perimeter player over a bigman ever again. It will be interesting to see what happens in the offseason, because he'll be a RFA and he's still very young (22), so I'm sure he'll be given every opportunity to succeed.

          Not playing at all over your entire career makes you a bust, yes.
