Blazers deserve to be laughed at for choosing Bowie over Jordan but not for drafting Oden over Durant.

as a blazers fan this makes me feel a sliver better

What if Oden and Roy never got injured?

Mike Korzemba do a what if Greg Oden never had two different sized legs with 2k simulations. You can use @xvclutchoz for the roster. Hit me a message on Instagram and I can tell what you should do with Greg Oden if you were to do that. 👍🏼

Guys, even if he did did pan out, do you really think he would be better than KD? Would he win MVP? Or carry his team to a championship? I don't think so because the NBA was transitioning from dominant big men in that time, big mistake by the Blazers, this is just as bad as Portland selecting Bowie over MJ, cause with Clyde Drexler they had an excuse in 1984, but none in 2007.

Did u actually see if that was true

I wish i can like more

This is such a good comment, I’m mad I didn’t write it

Bronny is trash. There are already like 15-20 players his age that are better than him. He is just popular bc he Bron's son.

Jack Klnet but look at the cup of Milk. It never misses a shot, is one of the strongest drinks in its class, and is overall a solid player.

Jack Klnet so only 15-20 players being as good or better than him makes him trash...?

Jack Klnet the thing is his potential and improvement is insane. Give him 2 years

Jack Klnet shittin me

What does he do now

Mewtwo Strikes Thunder he’s an assassin for Mossad

Same bro I agree with u , but it was fate, at least he is in an alright place

@@ahmadoosman9678 what does he do

I mean dude did win a championship with the heat, and now he is playing in the big 3

Aidan Chow add Lillard to that team and you’ve got urself a dynasty.

KennyD even without lillard they are easily a dynasty because they had nick batum in his prime almost as well

@@gaswvtv1400 nick batum was a good player, but nowhere near lillard.

JuYoung Kim well with or without lillard they could’ve been a dynasty

Gaswv Tv nick batum in his prime 😭😭😭 dude prime is not even good

Fr bru I was tryna go to sleep to his commentary then he started yelling in my ear

The Dude824 no shit Sherlock

I had micro fracture surgery when I was 23ish.. I could pretty easily dunk and was fairly athletic. Micro fracture surgery is no fucking joke. I cannot even explain to you the difference in explosion. I went from feeling like 10ft rim was like..really low (I know this sounds weird now but I'm getting there) to after the surgery when looking at the rim of same height to honestly looking like it's 2ft higher. It's insane..your brain will like literally correct itself for your new un-athleticism. It will see that 10ft hoop and basically send warning signs that "you can't do that anymore". I could of course still jump and grab the rim..but I couldn't come close to dunking. For people who think once you're grabbing rim you're close to dunking....It's more like..when you can start to grab rim you have another 6-8 inches to go. I had a pretty serious ankle and foot injury before...and that shit didn't take away from my vertical at all...In fact somehow I came back from that surgery and was able to jump higher...But microfracture surgery..I now don't understand how ANYBODY ever comes back from that looking anything like they use to. But most don't anyway... TLDR: Microfracture surgeries are the worst.

@@odonnellcaleb no one asked

The Dude824 same wit D Rose

@Ethan Nelson unfortunately yes

LMFAO

Lol 30 years old wont look like that he looks like 50 actually

And Derrick rose

iamlatsku we did. In college 😂

Rehana Nabi and drose won an mvp at 22 😂 don’t matter what injuries you have. Ya game before those injuries is what you are judged on.

At least we got a glimpse of how good prime Rose is gonna be back in 2010-2012. Oden never got to show what he was fully capable of in the NBA. Really unfortunate.

he was great in hs we went to the same school

technically, he was, but Oden is clearly a case of 100% unfortunate circumstance. most busts are just mentally weak and lazy (anthony bennett) but with oden he clearly showed to be the opposite of both. still a bust tho, however he went downhill

@@samwescoat5750 You can't be a bust if your injured.. Unless you say he literally bust (a knee) Was Len Bias a bust? Derek Rose got hurt...is he a buss?

@@d.balbas6952 derrick rose won mvp in his SECOND year in the nba before going downhill. he already proved to everyone that he was a star player. greg oden didn't do shit and he never showed us anything even though he had three years to play in the league. whether that was his fault or not is debatable, but he is definitely a bust. and let's be honest here, greg oden wouldn't have been as good as kd is now. kd is literally unguardable, and is arguably the best offensive player of all time.

@@sammylam1649 But get what I mean...

Oden is bigger BUST than Flynn. Jonny Flynn played full season 82 games

And he was a better impact player than KD

Great pick, just injury prone.. Not in the bust conversation at all

I was gonna say this guy in college play my center in park😂

@@chentayy4309 probably was oversized compared to the competition

I hope dame wont go the same path as his predecessors

Gj Lipana damn 8 years in, DONT wanna jinx anything but I think he’ll be cool

Knock on wood jay, you done jinxed it. Injury coming soon

Gj Lipana jr he did get injured during that all star break this year giving his spot to Booker. But I think he recovered just before the quarantine. Hopefully no more injuries in the future for dame.

Lillard ain't no bust

💀💀💀💀

JT Vickery that’s probably his grows pert and “(puberty)”

I thought he was Lebron's uncle

@@JacobParkYusuk Oden is actually LeBron's dad.

😂😂😂😂

He did go to lawrence north

Yep

He played most of his second season... He didn't look anything like shaq

No way, more like a slower Gobert.

1/2 savage Not like Shaq, but he was a back to the basket center. Those are starting to become rare.

Have you seen his college and high school games? He could’ve have been a star.

@@TheConcernedSum7 Did you even watch the video? His 3/4 sprint was 3.27... Gobert's is 3.57.... How is he slower?

not gonna lie that coffe was amazing,

hope you enjoy my dude!!

That sums up the other half.

I remember how he was laughed at as the weakest player EVER to do the NBA combine and supposedly he had never worked out at all before...literally couldn't do one pull up, one rep of a bench press, etc.

@@SpeedOfThought1111 hoopers hoop.

@@SpeedOfThought1111 nba scouts and front office people are paid good money to see things that you and me cannot....kd is probably going to end up as a top 10 player of all time...

@@thunderhammer593 geez i wasn't bashing him as a player at all...everybody knows he's amazing...just saying i agreed with OP that he was "built like a stick of liquorice" before he started lifting weights...it didn't take a pro scout to see that KD had a lot of potential

Only because Lawrence North poached him from Terre Haute South 🤷

Never knew they went to high school in Indiana

Right....Eric Gordon went to North Central

Teague went to pike, mcroberts Carmel, hill broadripple. Early 2000s ihsaa basketball seemed pretty good

wow true fan! yea i love the second channel again, more content on the way

Mike Korzemba wow man I appreciate you saying that. I’ve been watching for a couple years lol.

And LaMarcus Aldridge

And Dame and CJ

@@SMoneyB96 Wouldn't have been able to get them if they were healthy

@@DeathofTakeo Honestly, I think at that time being a Portland would've been pretty rough......

@@kylethomas2993 Maybe it's just karma that was sent by Black Jesus Jordan on why Sam Bowie was selected before him

Thats not grayson allen. Grayson Allen was 11 when Oden was drafted.

@@saucesb.z.i4907 😂😂😂

thanks my dude!! glad you like

Mike Korzemba no problem they never disappoint

Mike Korzemba but mike I just wanted to ask you if you remember in one of your what if video years ago you called Joel embied a bust😂😂

man was super impressive

thanks dudeee, love the support

@SmittyC Baseball ur not alone

you and me both man, i just want them to sim to playoffs lowkey

@@MikeKorzemba If they did a 2k sim, some team like Orlando would win.

he was clearly a better prospect. The league just have a obsession on a big man with good body and athleticism. KD is a very very unique athlete but the scouts are dumb because they thoughts his frail body cant handle the Nba. KD literally almost swept Evey single individual awards in college and they still had Oden #1 LOL

@@drewmark3549 KD was the first freshman to win ALL the player of the year awards. I think scouts were enamored with how good Oden was when he came back from that wrist injury, even though he didn’t look like he was 100% healed. I also remember wondering why it was even a question of who should have been the first pick that year. The red flags with Oden should have made him fall in the draft and that isn’t hindsight. Those team doctors that evaluated him had to know about the great potential injury with him, even he hand not had a major knee issue yet. NBA basketball is way more punishing on the joints than any other level of professional basketball

thanks my man!!! love the support!

lmao facts

Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain he wasn't born with different sized legs. He had an undiagnosed injury for too long which made his legs that way.

Joey yes you are right www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19868061/cursed-body-was-blessing-greg-oden-headed-back-ohio-state www.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2007/11/thats_not_a_limp_thats_just_od.html

PLEASE GUYS

King TD3 ok Shaq was more athletic than KD and was better than KD. What’s your point?

Swaggy Cash shaq was not better than kd niqqa they specialized in different things kd was the greater scorer and shaq was the better post player to say he was better sounds foolish when they didn’t even do the same thing yeo😂 so nigga what’s your point

Swaggy Cash idk who’s better but we are talking about oden he was really athletic but just like football I look at the game he averaged 15 to kds 25-27

it isnt, trust me
