Commentary: This guy is truly genuine, humble

Two words sent a buzz through the Portland Trail Blazers practice facility Wednesday. And they had nothing to do with Greg Oden?s basketball skills, the media swarming inside the building to watch him, or the players and team personnel crowding the gym during his workout.
?Yes, ma?am.?
That?s how Oden respectfully addressed the women working at the facility. But that simple gesture left them wide-eyed and gushing over the Ohio State center, telling anyone who would listen through their laughter and disbelief.

As expected, Oden dazzles

TUALATIN — Zach Randolph shuffled through words, searching for a description that would match the awe he felt Wednesday.
Legit, he offered.
The real deal.
But nothing seemed to fit as the Blazers forward watched Ohio State center Greg Oden work out at the Blazers’ practice facility.
“Words can’t describe him,” Randolph said. “He’s gonna end up being one of the best big men that ever plays the game.”
