Blazers athletic trainer Jay Jensen is entering his 15th season with the Blazers, and after a year of working closely with Greg Oden during his rehabilitation from microfracture surgery, Jensen says Oden deserves to join lofty company.

"I haven't seen Greg play basketball yet, but as far as work ethic, he is right up there with Scottie Pippen, Detlef Schrempf and Damon Stoudamire as the best I've seen,'' Jensen said. "He's a hard worker, very determined.''


I have never seen an athlete take care of his body, or work as hard in the weight room and in exercising as Pippen. The guy bordered on maniacal, which is one reason he will have an express ticket to the Hall of Fame.
