I was on the record as smelling smoke with Oden before his body burst into flame.

how does injuries derailing his career make you right that Oden was gonna be a bust as a player? You questioned his talent, not his health and his talent took a mediocre Ohio State team to the Championship game and then when healthy, the guy was a rebounding and shot blocking force in the NBA. I also remember you admitting that you really don't watch college basketball, which would make it pretty tough to make an accurate judgement on him, no?

That's one interpretation. The other is that his reputation was protected by a mounting list of convenient excuses. I was on the record as smelling smoke with Oden before his body burst into flame.
Really? I don't know outside of his offense...Oden looked like he could play defense and rebound.

In a van...down by the river.
The Suns will NEVER have the #1 pick. At least not in my lifetime. No point in wishing for it to happen.
It sure looks that way doesn't it?

He was very good in these areas when healthy. The SUNS would've passed on him a few years ago if we had been picking #1 anyway :)

Its really too bad for the NBA he turned out to be a mega-bust.
