In 2007, the Portland Trailblazers were faced with a dilemma with the first pick in the NBA draft: Greg Oden or Kevin Durant. They opted for Oden, and since Durant is already one of the best players in the NBA and Oden can’t stop being injured, it’s safe to say they made the right choice. [...]
Portland Trailblazers center Greg Oden cannot catch a break. Literally. Any break associated with Oden in his short career usually happens in one of his knees. He will now undergo microfracture surgery for the second time in his career and miss the rest of the season. The good news is Oden has played a full [...]
Portland Trailblazers center Greg Oden has been battling back from a busted knee cap, but no one knows exactly when he’ll be back. And no one knows exactly how good he really is after he was taken with the No. 1-overall pick in 2007. Every time he starts to show you something, he gets hurt. [...]
This poor guy just can’t get healthy.

The hope was that he could mend quickly and maybe return for a playoff run, just in time to hurt himself again. But as of now, the chances of that happening are slim and none. “The chance of that happening [...]
Portland Trailblazers center Greg Oden fractured his left knee cap on Saturday night during a 90-89 victory over the Houston Rockets. The former number one pick in the 2007 NBA draft has been injury plagued during his first three years and is approaching, if not already there, bust status. He missed the entire 2007-08 season [...]
Portland Trailblazers center and former #1-overall pick (in 1997? Some time around there? Seems like it’s been a while since we’ve seen him?) Greg Oden is actually playing basketball now.
