Greg: "So what is this article going to be about?"

Me: "Well, my goal is to humanize you and give people an idea of what the last five years have been like for you. You might not realize it, but you're one of the biggest enigmas in the NBA. Because of your injuries, most fans haven't seen you play. And since you never do interviews, they don't know anything about you off the court either."

Buddy of mine said he saw Oden at Cosmo (in Vegas) regularly last summer. Usually just posted up somewhere alone. Seemed very sad.
 
Things really gone from bad to worse for him in the last 5 years. Hope he gets better.
 
You can't help but feel sorry for this dude. He seems really depressed. Hopefully he finds his way. I'll be rooting for him.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think I read this on NT, or somewhere else. Wasn't Lamarcus' injury towards the end of the season considered fine by the Portland medical staff, but he didn't trust them so he went to the doctor that either treated him in high school or at Texas and he basically found out Lamarcus' needed surgery?

Portland training staff. I always thought there was something weird about Roy and Oden's injuries
 
hopefully he can come back and be decent. grant hill did it, same with livingston. they didnt have as many surgeries though. great read
 
Great read. Greg seems like a great guy. I hope he finds success at whatever he does next.
