HOLY CRAP!!!! WE’RE GETTING GREG ODEN!!!!!
May 23, 2007
With a 5.3% chance in the lottery, the Blazers end up with the #1 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft.
Last year, with the worst record in the NBA, the Blazers got screwed by the ping-pong balls and dropped down to the 4th pick. It wasn't too big a deal because the top pick was a choice between a skinny Italian with a girl's name or a slow white shooter with a bad porn mustache.
But this year it's GREG FREAKIN' ODEN!!! A dominating big man who as a college FRESHMAN had a great season despite playing with A BROKEN WRIST — ON HIS SHOOTING HAND!!! The guy is a FRANCHISE CENTER!!!
Not only is he big, he's freakishly athletic. The guy shot 61% from the field and 63% from the line — despite shooting his free-throws LEFT-HANDED. Check out this clip of him throwing a couple down and chasing down Corey Brewer's shot during the NCAA championship game. This package of size, speed and ability only comes around every 10 years or so.

Today is a good day - even if I get struck by lightning before its over.
