Re: Greg Oden pickup game
yeesh. it's not like he's stick fighting or stock car racing. he's a 7 foot monster professional athlete going out to watch 6 foot amateurs bounce off him for an hour.
I've played thousands of hours of pickup basketball and have had maybe half a dozen sprained ankles to show for it.he was probably in more real danger of straining a muscle running up the hill.
by way of comparison, at this stage in Amare Stoudemire's recovery he was already out playing in pro games. Randolph was back after 7 months. Kenyon Martin after 6 months.
the Blazers are being more careful with Oden. and they should be. but really. a pickup game in Tualitin 7 months after microfracture surgery isn't exactly reckless.
I'm envious of Nate. it'd be great to one day tell your kids you threw a lob to Greg Oden.
