Oden sprains ankle, Portland holds breath
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
You would think it is the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain or would that be Arvydas Sybonis? Look that one up younger sports readers.
Portland is going crazy over Greg Oden. Anything he does is big news.
Greg sprained his ankle in practice. You would have thought the stock market crashed. Oh, that’s right, the stock market did crash.
Bad analogy.
You would have thought your grandma fell down and broke her hip or something. (hope she didn’t)
The frenzy over his ankle baffled the 20-year-old Oden (7-0, 279), who played one year at Ohio State.
“It wasn’t that bad,” he says. “I walked to the training room. I practiced the day after that.”
But given his potential — and health history, which includes 2006 surgery to repair ligaments in his right wrist, which he damaged in high school — the incident provided a glimpse into the pressures he could face in his delayed rookie year, which begins Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers (10:30 ET, TNT).
Get excited over Greg Oden
Portland has reason to be excited. Greg took Ohio State to the NCAA finals in his freshman season. He doesn’t even have a lot of moves yet. There are not many true big guys in the game and let’s face it, Shaq is about done.
Dwight Howard rules the hardwood in the box and he has about two offensive moves.
Portland, you can let your breath out, Greg Oden is fine.
