Remember Yao and Jay Williams? Also, don't forget that another team passed on Jordan that year to draft a big man.
Not sure what point you are trying to make here as outside that the Rockets know what they are doing and the Blazers don't? Hakeem was great enough where no one questioned taking him over Jordan to this day.
Oden's NBA draft comparison was Bill Russell.. he was a huge prospect. You're using hindsight to say the Blazers don't know what they're doing,
The funny thing is Oden is actually a very engaging, likable, grounded guy. He's really fallen off the rails.
I guess things went wrong when Parsons tried to recruit him.... Hopefully Parsons recovers soon from the punch....
lol remember the time that Minnesota traded Love for that number one pick guy, what was his name? What a horrible GM.
If you had to wake up in the morning and invest a set amount of time in wrapping your dong around your leg just so your pants would fit you'd be grouching everyday too.
He should go to China and play with Panda Friend, give him a chance to work on his game and get away for awhile.
You are a 7 footer and why on earth would you punch someone smaller than you???? Please help me understand this!!!!
