April 3, 200719 yr Garnett and Amare are the types of players that are the future of the NBA just like Durant, Oden is nothing like either one of them. That means they sell jerseys.....
April 3, 200719 yr That means they sell jerseys..... When it comes to the future of the NBA you're going the way of Tubby. Out of touch...
April 3, 200719 yr Maybe in a contract year... Are you really judging a 19 year old who played hurt in the State Finals played hurt for 2 months this year and just layed it all on the line against the best big men in college basketball? I bet those left handed free throws (16 in a row) had nothing to do with working hard. Oden has been a team player all year. Tonight he couldn't rely on his teammates and did everything he could do to win.
April 3, 200719 yr That means they sell jerseys..... It means they can post up on Oden as well as shoot the three, bring the ball up the court, drive to the basket etc. Yes, that sells jerseys.
April 3, 200719 yr When it comes to the future of the NBA you're going the way of Tubby. Out of touch... Right.... Tubby would draft the center and win opposed to drafting Durrant and selling jerseys.................
April 3, 200719 yr Right.... Tubby would draft the center and win opposed to drafting Durrant and selling jerseys................. You're right, Durant isn't a winner...
April 3, 200719 yr You're right, Durant isn't a winner... Oden just Balled in the NCAA championship WINNER!!!! Even though they lost he played like a winner.
April 3, 200719 yr It means they can post up on Oden as well as shoot the three, bring the ball up the court, drive to the basket etc. Yes, that sells jerseys. Who can post up Oden? Horford sure couldn't. Couldn't come close. Noah couldn't. Again not close. Oden kept them in the game against 2 lottery picks, a 275 pound hatchet senior, and a supporting cast WAY better. If the game had been 10 minutes longer he would have fouled them all out because they couldn't stop him. Oden is 19 and isnt' going to get anything but better.
April 3, 200719 yr :thumb: and RM has better hands and a better shot away from the basket. and you're kidding right???????????? Morris' upside only comes to Oden's waist.

I was referring to the post you made about KG, Amare etc. and the NBA.
April 3, 200719 yr Why does a 7 footer need to play outside?????????? How many 7 footers playing outside have rings? Why can't Oden be a GREAt big man? Florida doubled, playe man, zoned, and NOTHING worked except the foul.
April 3, 200719 yr I was referring to the post you made about KG, Amare etc. and the NBA. How many times a game do either get the ball with their back to the basket?

Tonight he couldn't rely on his teammates and did everything he could do to win. I'm not willing to forget what I saw against Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsin and so on. One or two big games does not make him the next great one. Simple as that. He had the best game of his career tonight. How much did his team win by???
April 3, 200719 yr Same for Durant. Agreed, but a swing man or a center? Basketball hasn't changed that much.
