April 3, 200719 yr So you think that Oden can hit the 15 footer like RM can??? He's a better free throw shotter left handed so in five years after Morris is selling hotdogs in Lexington I think he'll be able to knock them down over and over again.
April 3, 200719 yr Really what could he have done on all those missed shots. He was the only one on the glass, on the floor, and the only offensive option. How many would Ewing have won if Jordan hadn't been around? Or the 5 great centers who won it during his career (Jabbar, Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan, Robinson) hadn't been around? O the wing man with no dominat center with a bunch of rings. :sssh:
April 3, 200719 yr Dear 18% of UK fan base, Please stop comparing Randolph Morris and Greg Oden. Sincerely, Bill Walton, Kareem, Shaq, Tim Duncan, Wilt, Robinson, Hakeem, and Bill Russell
April 3, 200719 yr O the wing man with no dominat center with a bunch of rings. :sssh: Did you notice that he's the only swingman on that list with 5 dominate centers?
April 3, 200719 yr Last 20 NBA champs: 11 had dominate Centers 9 didn't You are argument isn't very strong.
April 3, 200719 yr Did you notice that he's the only swingman on that list with 5 dominate centers? You're acting like those teams didn't have a swingman on the team that made a big difference.
April 3, 200719 yr Great centers are, always have been, and always will be the hardest thing to find. The top of the game last year was Shaq..... before that Duncan.... The Pistons snuck one in without a great dominate center, but their center was the only one in the league who could guard Shaq man to man. Want me to go back farther? Like back to the 50's..... Ewing and????????????????? Ewing, Olaujuwon, Duncan, Malone, Jabbar, Robinson, all great center's all could shoot.
April 3, 200719 yr If you would like to make a list of impact centers who can't shoot jumpers currently playing and compare that to impact swingmen that would be my pleasure tomorrow.

April 3, 200719 yr Last 20 NBA champs: 11 had dominate Centers 9 didn't You are argument isn't very strong. 6 were Jordan and Pippen and 3 of the years they had 3 seven footers who split time and put up pretty good combined numbers. Who else? Detroit three times. Right? Detroit had Lambeer and Rodman down low and the Wallace brothers the other times. Still though the big man has over 50 percent of the wins.....
April 3, 200719 yr If you would like to make a list of impact centers who can't shoot jumpers currently playing and compare that to impact swingmen that would be my pleasure tomorrow. Why does Oden have to shoot jumpers? Why can't he delevop a decent one? He's young and has very good touch.
April 3, 200719 yr Dear 18% of UK fan base, Please stop comparing Randolph Morris and Greg Oden. Sincerely, Bill Walton, Kareem, Shaq, Tim Duncan, Wilt, Robinson, Hakeem, and Bill Russell RM's shot right now is better than Oden's. Sorry that you disagree. Since you also brought up foul shooting, Oden is also worse than RM... I hope Oden develops a shot, because I do not see him being able to physically impose on the NBA like he has done in college. PS. I am as far from an 18%er as possible... ;-)
April 3, 200719 yr Ewing, Olaujuwon, Duncan, Malone, Jabbar, Robinson, all great center's all could shoot. How many could shoot as 19 year old freshman? How many were as good as Oden at this point?
April 3, 200719 yr 6 were Jordan and Pippen and 3 of the years they had 3 seven footers who split time and put up pretty good combined numbers. Who else? Detroit three times. Right? Detroit had Lambeer and Rodman down low and the Wallace brothers the other times. Still though the big man has over 50 percent of the wins..... You are right but not as much as you made it out to be. Lambeer and Rodman were hardly dominant. Rodman couldn't even score. And yes it was Detroit.
April 3, 200719 yr Why does Oden have to shoot jumpers? Why can't he delevop a decent one? He's young and has very good touch. You're devoting a lot of time to Oden developing things Durant has in spades...
