Oden officially a bust!

[qualified101]

oden to miss 4-6 weeks this season.

to think the blazers actually drafted this bust over kevin durant.

[Burg_Grad_77]

Should have stayed in college and matured a little more and gotten a little stronger.

[Brutus8907]

oh, well i guess Tony Romo, Manu Ginobili and Brian Westbrook are all busts too and all their success prior to injury means nothing. hell, Kobe was a bust for a little bit with your logic ... i didnt realize being human and susceptible to injury makes you a bust. oden was dominating before he got hurt, this is dumb.

gotten stronger you say, burg grad?





looks like rehabing wasn't the only thing he did during his time off

[Burg_Grad_77]

Would that be Melvin Turpin?

[tomcat fan]

i wouldnlt call him a bust just yet, he is still very young

[GAHS7462]

Sam Bowie and the human garbage disposal Turpin

GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3morethan2]

i seen espn say 2-4 weeks and oden isnt a bust just yet he missed just one full season remember amare stoudamire had the same surgery and came back to 100% it took awhile but he did and 2-4 weeks sounds a whole lot better than the whole year who knows when he comes back he may not get any more injuries and play the way people are expecting him to play

[qualified101]

lets see, injured during freshmen year of college. missed entire first season of nba. so far he has logged 14 minutes in the nba. i agree, he should have stayed in school at least one more year. i think mr oden and osu knew something everybody is just now realizing(injury prone, genetic disorder). he took the money while he could which i dont blame him for. he could just overpower people in college which he cant in the nba. so far, he is a bust.

[qualified101]

if Oden is 20 i'm a millionaire. he's been held back 8 yrs

this would explain why he is breaking down already. just kidding.

[Brutus8907]

they're trying to say he looks older than he is, which i'll give them that. dude looks like he's about 40

[qualified101]

i knew you were joking hammer. lol

he looks like bill russell already.

[OZZIEOHIO]

I think Hammerdown has ODEN ENVY!!!

If we're calling Oden a bust then here is a list of busts for qualified as well:

Insert Duke Player Here ______________________!

grant hill
shane battier
mike dunleavy
chris duhon

elton brand
luol deng
carlos boozer
dahntay jones
danny ferry

12 out of 17 almost 70% made it. other than jimmy jackson and michael redd(who is a great player), name any other osu standouts that i missed.

its alright to take your foot out of your mouth now. lol
these are just ones i can remember. i think alot more were drafted but played overseas for more money which means, nothing i guess.

please dont compare the success at duke in bball to ohio state. sorry but you'll have to try again.

[seofan_via_dublin]

Several of those on your list of "made it" can be considered a bust,
based on their potential and what they were projected to do in the NBA.

If your willing to put Oden as a bust after just a one game carrer, then Grant Hill is no better.

Lattener can barely be called a success based on what he was projected to be.

[qualified101]

you're kidding right? grant hill a bust?

laettner was a stat stuffer while he played. personally i never like the guy.

try again!


other than oden and conley, is there any other buckeyes on nba rosters?

seriously, try a different approach. btw, that was a goalline stand by me!

[seofan_via_dublin]

Grant Hill has been injured for 2/3 of his career,
and a solid role player for the other 1/3.

Oden has played 1/2 of one game.

If you're ready to call Oden a bust, then Hill is one too.

Bobby Hurley and Jason Williams are busts as well, I'm just
using your definition of bust anyway.

[qualified101]

i listed jay williams(jason williams) on my busts lists(darn motorcycle). you are right about hurley i forgot about him but that kid is lucky to even be walking after the car crash he was in. if oden has half the career of grant hill, consider it a successful gamble. right now in the twilight of hills career he is a role player with SUNS! he doesnt have to thee guy. might want to check out his stats from the orlando magic.


Sorry hammer, it is true. its more of a man crush on coach k. like rick barnes at texas also.

i see it took a duke coach to win a gold medal. lol just trying to get your goat.

[qualified101]

hammer, who is your college bball team?

not sure duke should be ranked 5th, need to see them play a couple of games first. its north carolinas title to lose with al those returning players.

[noreply66]

Bill "The Hill" McGill great college player but not in the pros
