Men's Basketball Like It or Not, Oden Will Command Attention in Atlanta By John Porentas Brace yourself Greg, it's about to happen again. OSU All-American Center Greg Oden will be on the big stage of college basketball this weekend, the Final Four. Greg Oden Photo by Jim Davidson Not that Oden isn't used to the big stage. Oden has been the center of attention since his high school career when people first noticed that he wasn't just big, but also athletic, talented, and personable. He was the ideal candidate for becoming a basketball super-star, and without really trying, became one.Cont... |

Center of attention Oden-mania grips Final Four; young center unfazed Greg Oden attracts a crowd wherever he goes. ATLANTA -- At 1:30 p.m. Friday, the doors to Ohio State's Georgia Dome locker room opened, and a not-so-small army of reporters and cameramen immediately bolted to the near-right corner to surround a particular 7-foot center. At that point, mind you, I could not have told you for certain that the subject at the center of this paparazzi was in fact Greg Oden, because, unfortunately, I was unfortunately stuck in about the eighth row of the circle.

You know, this is one of the best Buckeye basketball moments in history let alone my lifetime and I'm extremely excited. On the other hand as I'm typing this this morning some realization is starting to dawn on me and I'm getting a little sad. Today could be the last day Greg Oden ever wears a Buckeye basketball uniform.
I'm as grateful as anyone but I'm also selfish as hell because I want him back next season. Greg is one of the greatest people the Ohio State University has ever been affiliated with, and thats saying a great deal. Lets forget about how good he is at basketball for a moment. Greg has all the charisma and star power that you'd want in your President. Greg is humble, funny and as honest a human being as I've ever seen in my life. Greg is going to have a unique opportunity not afforded many people in the history of the world let alone in the basketball arena. Many people through history have had many opportunities at fame and power but lacked the responsibility and courage to actually make a difference. Greg will make millions, absolute no doubter there. Lots of people make millions and become nothing other than yesterday's news. Greg Oden as a human being is worth more than an NBA salary can pay him. Greg has an idea of what kind of person he is and wants to be and actually has the attitude to use his persona to positively affect other people. Rare commodity. I'm quite sure if Greg ever decided he wanted to make a change in our society he would get the backing by his peers and others and he could actually do it. We've only been able to watch Greg Oden here for less than a year and already he's an icon in Buckeye annals. If today is Greg Odens last basketball game or even on Monday, I for one will not let it go past without screaming my head off for his and this teams success. Kick some ass today Greg! And forever.......GO BUCKS!!!!!!! |
