The best scene of the weekend.

Aside from the fantastic game between the Hawks and Cavs Saturday night, it had to be seeing the Hawks coaching staff out at a local restaurant Friday night while the Ohio State coaching staff sat a table over entertaining a recruit and his family. Without fail the Buckeyes coaches trotted out uber-recruit Greg Oden, sling and all, to greet the recruit. Little did Thad Matta and his crew know that an NBA coaching staff would be at Brownstone on Main (one of the finest soul food joints I?ve dined at in a while).

Hawks coach Mike Woodson is an Indianapolis native like Oden, so when they shook hands it was hilarious seeing Matta, with a smile a mile-wide on his face, gesture for the Hawks coaches to stay away from his prized freshman big man. If you?ve never seen Oden, think David Robinson at 18 or 19 but with a beard and perhaps even longer limbs. Oden?s a massive young man.

Hawks assistant coach Greg Ballard is no little fella himself ? I believe he was listed at 6-foot-8 during his title-winning days as an NBA player. Oden is tall enough to eat a dish peach cobbler off the top of Ballard?s dome. As you?ve seen and read elsewhere, he?s already in possession of the NBA goods, from a physical standpoint. And if he?s one year and done in Columbus, he?s an absolute no-brainer for the No. 1 pick in next June?s draft.
