its amazing how much shit portland gets for taking Oden when every single team wouldve done the same if they had gotten the number one pick. Every expert said Oden goes number 1. And in the end, he was taken down by injuries, not lack of talent or potential. Hindsight is 20/20. Anyone would have done the same
leng leapheng if you were watching basketball at that time u would know why I can sit here and admit to you here now in 2018 that knowing what I knew then and seeing what I saw back then that I would've taken Oden number 1 and would not have thought twice about it it's easy to say the blazers made a mistake now but at that time in 2007 Kd was a great scorer unstoppable offensively but I watched them both in college and Oden was a once in a generation type player a 7 footer with a developing post game,he is a right handed player and played his first month or so of college games with his left hand because his right hand was broken and he was a terror defensively I still to this day have never seen a player protect the paint the way Oden did that year at Ohio State he literally had a pwnis afraid to come in the paint I feel he should have been number one as well but unfortunately for him he got injured and was never the player he was supposed to be
I wanted durant bad...I kne he would be as dominate as he is today. I was pist my celtics had the 5th pik. Now my prediction is jabari Parker wil be the mega star of the draft. But of course celts wil pik 5th again. Watch
Raider6604 no they wouldn't. The celtics had to trade their pick (Jeff Green) to get Ray Allen. Things would have been completely different for the C's if they got Oden or Durant
Funny how Oden got 62% for the top pick, but has no career. Sometimes you can't alway know if a player will live up to their hype until they play with the big boys.
I don't know why anyone saw Greg Oden as a franchise player. Shaq, Hakeem, David Robinson, all of them looked graceful, and athletic. Watch tape of Greg Oden, he looks like a clumsy mess, not to mention his lack of a killer instinct and is more of a Roy Hibbert than a Shaq. Sam Bowie 2.0. On the other hand Kevin Durant is a Michael Jordan type player; graceful, athletic, with a killer-instinct.
dude u must of not been watching basketball back in 2007 i will admit back in 07 i would have picked greg oden over durant without even thinking twice oden was a dominant shot blocker with advanced posted skills for a college freshmen i watched him play in college alot that year he was absolutly DOMINANT defensivley he struck fear in oppents and had players afraid to come in the paint,i cant say that if he didnt get injuired he wouldve been better than kd because kd has had a hell of a career but i cant blame portland for picking him in 07 because i definently would have at that time no doubt
Wacky Jackscum that's easy to say now in 2015 but like I said back in 07 knowing what I knew at that time I would've picked oden and wouldn't have thought twice about it
You are so right about Oden. I would have took Durant at No 1..if you watch tape of Oden in highschool and college is was not a natural athlete. He did look awkward making moves on the court. People seem underestimate fluidity and handeye coordination when picking players.
If it wasNt for his injuries, How strange it sounds oden couldve been An overall better Player then shaq. Guy was a 7-footer who was An athletic freak, btw at THE draft combine he beat durant in Nearly every run, lane agility, half court test. They had THE same speed and that for A 7 foot 260 pound guy. On top of that he could play defense like no other and had THE defensive potential to be THE modern day Bill Russel on defense and David robinson on offense with A bit of shaquille oneals powerdunking and paint domination
It's a great day for Portland😂😂😂 So funny
I bet Portland wishes they got the 2nd pick now

I don't know why Greg Oden is the best draft prospect at that time

Jabari Parker lmao
Bryan Pena they had the fifth pick you wrote this in 14 in 07
Oden…Durant…oh yeah, Oden for sure.
Raider6604 no they wouldn't. The celtics had to trade their pick (Jeff Green) to get Ray Allen. Things would have been completely different for the C's if they got Oden or Durant
damn young adam silver
Ha prototype center a great player a hype they hyped will be number and this what jay said about rj who consenus number one pick and reclassified up 👀
Cade the best player in the draft sense tim duncan
Since*
Learn to spell dumb dumb
"without him(oden), they're going to be mired in mediocrity"
Hmm... one game away from winning the finals is mediocre i guess
We had brandon Roy? U guys also had Clyde and selected Sam Bowie yikes!
This guy is like the Mel Kiper of draft day thoughts.....
Portland Fail Blazers strike again
who the commentor talking with GA and Jay
"This proposed trade has been agreed to. Seattle will send Ray Allen to Boston for the fifth pick in the draft."
This Oden is the future! Way better then Simmons or Ingram
Funny how Oden got 62% for the top pick, but has no career. Sometimes you can't alway know if a player will live up to their hype until they play with the big boys.
Portland could have had many rings... Didint pick jordan or durant, next time when u get the first pick portland, get the best in the draft
Knicks fan would take odem for stat pad curry
jay bilas said picking oden number 1 was a no brainer, and he was very right.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
um because they traded jeff green for ray allen.
Blazer draft glass joe over KG... As soon as they compaired Greg Oden to Shaq i knew he would fail
Celtics should have won the lottery in 2007, then they could have picked Oden and sucked.
@connorcnote1 yea i hate that its oklahoma not the seattle supersonics
Not unless it's a for sure bleeding superstar like Lebron, Hakeem, magic, shaq type player I would never want the first pick I'd go for two-four.
Worked out well for both Seattle and Portland 😂 as a blazers fan Portland made the correct choice at the time. Injuries are a bitch

1Way Smilez
Pritchard the bitch who destroyed Portland hah, Brandon whoaa and Greg Olden.

here again lol
This is Zion all over again ESPN taking about him they never talk about kd like rj and Same they talk about Knicks
Where's the 62 percent now? I was one of them.
Did GA think zach la and odem would play together nope and Kevin more of a consultation prize
Durant should be 1
"It's a great day for Portland."
At this time the Celts didn't have KG or Ray Allen just Mr.Overrated Paul Pierce who couldn't win anything
well, the celtics DIDNT take greg oden, and what happened, they won the NBA championship the next year! in yo face
GA take on medicotry aged well and KD the consenus 1
KD35 thunder up get thunderstruck
We had brandon roy... We didn't need another guy taking 20 shots a game
This is the most overrated draft ever, besides Durant and Horford there really isn't much. 08' blows this out the water
...........
lol the players are like slaves being traded and won >.>
That dude is creepy as shit.
so wrong
