Forget the 3-pointer. Big men's favorite momentum-changers are dunks and blocked shots.
At 7-feet tall with good timing, Ohio State's Greg Oden is more than proficient at both.

Re: With his full beard, Oden looks 38. Or 48. (from article above)

It's true.

I haven't had a favorite NBA team for a long time. But, when Greg enters the leauge, I will.

As much as I hate to see the Blazers lose, I'd root for it just to get Oden. I mean, we're not going to the playoffs this year anyway. Lamarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden would be the new "Twin Towers" of the league. A guy can dream, can't he? :)

Columbus, Ohio - The first comparison you make to Ohio State freshman Greg Oden when you see him up close isn't Bill Russell - unless you happen to be an opposing center. The first name that comes to mind is Abe Lincoln.
