I always love the references to "sources close to..." and "after speaking to confidantes ... " -- to say that Greg was relieved by a small market is not true. His personal choice would have been Atlanta - not exactly small. Of the teams with the best chance to win the lottery, he liked Boston because it was a good bball town. He would like to have a home in LA -- the only place he really did NOT want to go was Memphis - a small market. Funny how things get spun and speculated on.

Boston columnist Bob Ryan on SportsCenter:
"People of Portland, be aware. You will win a championship within 3 to 5 years with Greg Oden, and it won't be the last." This was in response to which NBA centers his career would resemble. He mentioned Parish (3 titles) and Olajuwon (2 titles). |

But he would have considered Greg the greatest thing since sliced bread had the Celts won the 1st pick in the draft...talk about sour grapes. Be a little less transparent Bobby. ![]() |

How is predicting multiple NBA Championships sour grapes?

I took the parts of the statement, "a championship in 3-5 years" & "but it won't last" as : "He'll probably be enough to get you a title, then fade into mediocrity."
I didn't bother to read the whole thing becasue on the Cowherd show a day or 2 ago CC said Ryan's column was really whinining how the Celtics are somehow cursed for not winning the lottery (again), so I figured it was more of the same. EDIT: guess i couldn't "read it", as I just reread that you said it was a quote from SportsCenter, so maybe I misinterpreted the jist of what you / he was saying. Double Edit: "and it won't be the last." OH! Completely misread it...by bad. Last edited by Padraig; 05-24-2007 at 12:18 PM. |

![]() Greg Oden is fast developing the style and persona to make him a marketer's dream. Same article as ESPN; however, Fox put in a nice picture: FOX Sports on MSN - NBA - Oden paired with Russell in marketing deal |
