Is greg oden injury "prone"?

injury prone like, he puts himself in position to get injured alot?
injury prone like, his body can't take the abuse other people give him prone?
injury prone, he hurts himself by trying too hard and straining for the strenght he has?
injury prone like he's just had the crappiest luck ever.
he's not injury prone, just had a bad few (four) years.

haha that is a good catch

I guess he is voting for number 5…

And I like then Ben pops in just to ask a tech. question.

His microfracture injury looked episodic, not wear and tear. So was the broken hand. And this most recent ankle problem looked episodic as well. So I’ve got to say that its either 2,4, or 5. And since I have no real objective viewpoint, nor do I want to be wearing anything but my subjective black, white, and rose colored glasses. I’ve got to say that its 5.

I go with

number 4. In regards to his most recent injury for sure. Although part of it was the playing not to get hurt thing + adrenaline. My sole concern with Oden is that he might have some sort of issue with his connective tissue in general outside his bones. Not sure there is such a thing. I just notice his injuries are joint related. Regardless I think the man got unlucky and that if it wasn’t for the exact set of circumstances that have happened (#1 pick, MF surgery, then mid-foot sprain on game 1) but any of those but not all in the perfect chronological order. We probably wouldn’t be having this discussion. Since they did all happen the reaction seems to be either he’s unlucky or he’s injury prone.

NO NO NO

He is not. I have to go with 5. For my sanity.

I want more options?

Going with what we have I have to go with 4, Most centers only avg. about 65-70 games a year during the reguler season I expect Oden to probably be in that catagory.
