We Were WRONG About Greg Oden | Clutch #Shorts

On Michael Porter Jr’s podcast Curious Mike, former Portland Trail Blazers’ star Brandon Roy talked about Greg Oden.
Oden made life easier for Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge back in the late 2000’s, and the Blazers’ center had Hall of Fame talent.

It's unfair to call an injury-prone player a bust if he plays well when healthy.

[internetperson]

Calling Greg Oden a bust is extremely unfair, if he wasn't so injury prone he'd be one of the best big men in the league.

[Wsws-ottl]

Brandon Roy, Greg Odin, and Lamarcus Aldridge only played 62 games together and their record was 50-12

[barackobama]

It’s not his fault he was a bust, he was just insanely injurie prone, he was actually a good player.

[MMMM]

Tbh I don't call I injured players as busts cuz it wasn't their fault that they were hurt.

[TheDot]

He will never be a bust in my eyes dude got unlucky and injuries ruined his career just like Hill, Penny, Roy the list goes on and on. Dude was gonna be a beast for years!

[rileybatey]

I would say if they got injured they aren’t bust Anthony beenet on the other hand is a bust because he just sucked.

[thNPC]

Everything Oden showed on the court showed a potential great player. Honestly if he could've stayed healthy think of a Dwight Howard/Ben Wallace defensively but with an elite back-to-the-basket postup game

[mshydro]

He put up 11 and 8 in just 21 games on 25 minutes a game.

[ricodonmuzik]

he never called him bust, he said “ people started calling him bust”

[TheStatisfiedOne]

Oden was potential David Robinson kind of offense with Ben Wallace/mutombo defense

[edwardcui]

The blazers had a crazy good record when roy, oden and aldridge all played. I don’t count players who had injures as busts. If you do, then zion is more of a bust than oden

[Dyumez]

Ion write comments like this regularly but a player who got injured so badly to the point he couldn’t get back on the court he’s not a bust. Especially if he played better then half the centers in the league at the time. Oden could’ve been something great

[bit]

We? Fuck that. He ain't ever been a bust in my book.

[parengkiboy]

A bust is someone who was expected to exceed but immediately sucked. Oden was not that kind of a player, he got injured, but performed well when he was healthy.

[crearaj]

Even KD, the man Oden was picked over as the #1 pick, calls the bust talk around Oden cap!

[TikTokRaze]

Greg oden went to my school district at Lawrence. We have his jersey hanging in the gym

[CERTFIEDMAGGOT]

Calling Greg oden a bust is like saying the. Same for Bo Jackson. Played great and got injured because of the bruising play style. Similar, but less extreme.

[WolfyKun]

Quite sad tbh. Portland was not dumb picking Oden than KD its just they got unlucky and Oden did as well..

[olympiangaming]

He was not a bust just had terrible luck with injuries
