Greg Oden's fed up

[mfbmike]

These days, when Greg Oden seeks solace, he usually heads to a restaurant and looks for a table with a view and a seat for only himself. He finds it relaxing, he says, just looking out the window and eating. During these moments, usually right after Trail Blazers practice, he can escape the pressures of being himself. It is a time when no one is analyzing his rookie season with the Blazers. When no one has an opinion of how he should carry himself. And most gratifying, it's a time when no one asks about his injuries, including the latest -- a chipped left kneecap that has caused him to miss 10 games and counting. "I can just eat, relax and be by myself," Oden says. Truth be told, he would rather scream, because he is fed up with it all. Fed up with the injuries, which prevent him from playing the game he insists he loves. Fed up with the media, which have portrayed him as injury-prone and a bust. And to a degree, he is fed up with himself and his performance on the court this season. In Greg Oden's world, everything, and everyone, is seemingly against him. "It's like, dang, can I ever do anything right?" Oden says.

The Oregonian

...Bust.

Tell old ass man to quit crying and work at improving his game, he still has like 4 years left til he's 40, there's still hope he can salvage a career.

I am more frustrated with the lack of a link.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Pryz > Oden.

[Champ]

The Oregonian sucks.

[Juggernaut]

Bust or not, i'd love for him to play on any of the teams i like to follow. He's a dominating player when healthy, he's still mad young, and he's a "true" center in this leauge. I wouldnt say he's a number 1 pick prospect, but defintily a top 5 prospect.

[LC AAU]

Damn Greg, I thought you'd be a BEAST.

[mfbmike]

I did too. He's a really big center in a time where the "big" center is almost nonexistant.

Come on fucker. Just play your game.

[FirstTimer]

I'd be happy to have him with the Bulls if he's so fed up

This is why I'm saying Thabeet > Oden

Oden looks like he's 60 years old at times, while Thabeet is a mobile big man who could play soccer and kick your ass.

Oden is 60 years old. Dude needs to just start drawing his pension from the league and retire gracefully. It's too bad he forged his birth certificate and dominated HS kids 40 years his junior but the act didn't work in college too well, even less in the NBA.

Give it up GO, we are on to you.

Oden still faster than Eddy Curry

We'll take him
