Yes, I know this pic is from his OSU days. Wanna make something of it?
A little bit was made about Greg Oden missing two dunks in Madison Square Garden the other night (H/t to TBL). To his credit, the author didn’t try to extrapolate that into “Oden’s a bust” commentary. In fact, he went the opposite direction, saying Oden’s future looks downright slam dunk-ish.

Because, however, something was made of Oden’s missed slams, I’m happy to report there was no carryover against the Wiz from Washington. On his way to another double-double (13 and 10), Oden was 3-3 on dunk attempts, two of which are in the highlight video below (21 seconds and the 1:06 mark if you’re curious):

While some seem to be waiting for Oden’s volcano to erupt with some Shaq-in-his-prime-like numbers, Nate McMillan seems satisfied using his center as a cog in the wheel of a very good young NBA team.

Until Oden is ready for that load, Brandon Roy remains the Blazers go-to guy.
