After leaving the NBA, Greg Oden returned to Ohio State to complete his degree, while there he was a student manager for the basketball team and helped with player development. He graduated with his degree in 2019 and became an athlete advisor for Edyoucore Sports & Entertainment.
He was at tOSU the same time I was. One of the best dudes you will ever meet even when he was in his prime with the fame. I still remember him walking into Neil ave marketplace and having to dip his head to get through the doors lol.
@@elezzar6583 this has nothing to do with kids in Africa. His situation is a sad one even if it’s not as dire as starving children. You just going to gatekeep people’s emotions now? Get off your high horse
Oden is literally definition of a “Gentle Giant”. Dude seems so sweet and won’t hurt anyone no matter what they say about him. He had Joel Embiid potential. He didn’t deserve to be injured or be called a bust.
Always breaks my heart for him. Just saw Oden at Animal Kingdom the other day with his wife and daughter. He looked happy. Hope all is going well for him
He was so sweet and the moment his expression changed idk why tears rolled out of my eyes...there was so much pain in there. I hope he's able to overcome whatever it is that makes him feel that way.
He feels that way cuz he lost essentially his life. We go to school for years to work our 9-5s but these guys stay up till 12 and wake up at 5 pushing their bodies to the limit their whole entire life. Only difference, basketball is their life and thats all they know. They rlly know no life without basketball. Greg Oden(guy in the vid) was going to be a great nba center but injuries completely derailed his career. Gotta feel for what couldve been. People always talk about the money, but alot of these guys would play for free. If he could turn back time and get another chance to play he would take it in a heartbeat. They sleep, eat, breath basketball. Hope that explains what he was feeling.
He had his goal, dreams and desires stolen by the love of the game. To be able to take alllll ur fam one day to just getting by comfortable, oh that ache don't leave. Its an open book of possibilities that never finished. That look like he didn't understand everything happened for a reason. He's disappointed at his self.

Nah that’s crazy, he rly dedicated everything he had growing up and everything he could’ve done to his nba career. He made sacrifices we could’ve only dreamed of making for the game he loved, just to watch it all go to waste in one injury. U can see the pain in his eyes and his smile.

I was injured in my amateur boxing career when I got a brain injury due to a blow to the head I never recovered from that, it’s playing a sport u dedicated everything to, and then losing it.
I just wish that one day he’d finally come to terms with his past, make peace with it and successfully move on. Anyone who’s ever talked to him has said that he’s genuinely a great guy. The pain in his face… my god man. No one has to live with that much sorrow, humans are just not built for that. life is sometimes so cruel to some of us. 😭
I wish he could still be playing basketball clearly its a huge part of his life and he loves it so much.. The pain in his face he looks so sad .. We love you Oden

This is depressing af, my mans got injured and then gets called a bust. I hope this man is doing great things and succeeding in all other facets of life. Family, friends, health and soul ! You the man Oden.
He deserved to get drafted over KD and I’m from Maryland I can say that honestly, dude had size and was a beast on both ends he definitely had his best years taken from him. If he was treated like kawhi is now he definitely would have lasted longer in the league

Hes not the legend....
He is thinking of kobe.
I saw in is eyes that he never forget basketball..🥺😢
@@barbie_cs_u4431o
yes
I just wish that one day he’d finally come to terms with his past, make peace with it and successfully move on. Anyone who’s ever talked to him has said that he’s genuinely a great guy. The pain in his face… my god man. No one has to live with that much sorrow, humans are just not built for that. life is sometimes so cruel to some of us. 😭
Oden wouldn’t be oden if it wasn’t boiled
What happened?
@jswag fax
Yeah what happened
But what has happened to him?!
The fact that he didnt put his earphones back on says enough.
I didn’t notice that smh
i love how he kept a smile through the pain and hit it well
He’s so humble and kind.
This breaks my heart.
Your an amazing human sir.
Ya
You're*
@@avoidyellow1085 chill
@@avoidyellow1085 this isnt english class.
He’s annabusive person and beat up his girlfriend a while back. Dude ur 7 foot tall U don’t need to hit women, he isn’t an Amazing human
Imagine Oden watching this. This would show him how much we appreciate him but makes him feel sad at the same time.
So many people who walk around with broken dreams but still try their hardest earn my respect💔
This feeling is worse than death.... 💔
This guy was a monster, if he didn’t have any injuries, he’d definitely been an all time center
What’s his name?
@@KrankyKranky1 Greg Oden
Nah
@@musonafa great point 👏
Yeap him and d rose both would’ve been household names up there with the likes of David Robinson, Steve Nash, etc.
"That made me feel so sad...when he said used to"...😭
Probably a bust even if hes healthy, nothing to be sad about
you have no idea who greg oden is bru
@@mclovin4974 bro greg oden averaged a double double with boards and points the dude was gonna be great but he just got injured to often its sad
@@mclovin4974 Greg Oden was good at basketball but he had an injury that into his whole career
Even KD said Oden deserved to be first overall
The way how his smile vanished away
this made me cry when I used to watch him play😭
The fact that u can see the sadness in his face is truly heartbreaking
Funny asf
Why the heck this got so many likes
You got copied by a Mr beast bot
The fact tht a bot copied me
@@awaiting_YHWH_return I'll beat u ése
I wish he could still be playing basketball clearly its a huge part of his life and he loves it so much.. The pain in his face he looks so sad .. We love you Oden
♥️
What happened to him?🥺
@@playwithsisters184 yeah
Ye
@Dale Macarena pos? I asked like yeah like i agree 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
... we miss Greg Oden great center in the past 🙏🙌
He took that with Subtle Pain as we ALL could see His Strain, with a slight display of Bashfulness, too. God Bless Him, going forward, and BEST WISHES going forward in whatever Lies ahead for Him.
The way he carries himself is so motivating.
Man of steel!
Respect.
The way he punched his wife?
@@Rifforecordz lmfaoooo chill
We are Men Of Steel
@@Rifforecordz I’m dead af
I don't know him but i can literally feel how he's feeling😔when people remind you of your old life😞
He was ah beast more like Joel embid for Portland
Would’ve went down a top 10 NBA center if he stayed healthy
He is 2007 NBA draft number 1.🥺🥺
Yah I feel the same way to .....
@@tonyromo8868 he could shoot?
Bro ngl I almost cried
That is enough to make a grown man cry
It's athletes like him who are the True Legends in sports.
For real
He was an amazing athlete and carried himself with dignity. His pain is real but he will teach many and guide another generation. Blessings
What did they do to him? Did he retire?
@@Seeker7257 was force to retire due to injury. Would have been the most dominant big man of this generation.
@@alanadrienne8870 He was forced to retire? Why so?
He had too many injuries too soon so he had too retire
He's one of my favorite basketball players and just seeing that smile fade away hits diffrent..
Oden, you still precious till now, and I still proud of you
This is depressing af, my mans got injured and then gets called a bust. I hope this man is doing great things and succeeding in all other facets of life. Family, friends, health and soul ! You the man Oden.
I believe he’s coaching at Ohio State or at least helping out with their basketball program in some way
Facts 😢
@@wyattferrell1990 because he is wearing a Ohio state shirt does not mean that
@@bebesiiito23g42 he went back to school in 2016 and worked with the team until he graduated
@@UncleRicoOSU okay I thought that’s what I had seen but didn’t realize it was that long ago
He was such a beast in college. Injuries like that really suck. NBA missed out on a good one because of it.
He deserved to get drafted over KD and I’m from Maryland I can say that honestly, dude had size and was a beast on both ends he definitely had his best years taken from him. If he was treated like kawhi is now he definitely would have lasted longer in the league
Along with Brandon Roy
@@rd9669 I was in Seattle and while I loved Oden in college I was absolutely on the “hope Portland take Oden.”
@@jeromebrantley8336 and d rose
@@imretro2182 true but they was on the same team at the the time Portland could of been a dynasty if they was both healthy
What a nice heart. His heart shines to his face
he’s going to get redemption in the coaching ranks…. I BELIEVE
I've edited my comment and now you shall never know how I got these likes
💯
Can we talk about how this was intentionally done?
What old lady has a mic on her randomly? They inflicted that extra pain on purpose for the camera. Scumbags.
@@SixxWolfZx and going as as far as hiring an ol lady or maybe dressing like one
@@SixxWolfZx Bro she’s a RUclips that does asks things like that in public. They obviously went to him because he’s tall and said she could beat him as a joke. His sad past was a coincidence.
@@menoswater1032 I doubt that
*He genuinely loved the game!*
Hope he understands he's here for a bigger purpose
@@AquarianAngel that's not for us to care and know
Perfect words John wick
That part
We are not here for the entertainment of the unworthy.
@@AquarianAngel saying someone is here for "much bigger purpose than basketball " is an issue?
Dude was my favorite college player when he was in college I was rooting for him big time a real big man center.
What a sweetheart! You're the man, Greg! Keep doing you, buddu!
