Didn't see this posted. Basically, holy cow look at his forearms!
OT: Finals week is kicking my ass. I need about 29 more words to fill this up so that I can post this. It's not just finals, it's the combination of freelance work along with finals. But, mmm, money. Holy crap I need 12 more words?
Gob: [arms crossed] Then there's me. The joker. The goofball. The magician.

Michael: I thought you were gonna do a little fireball there.
Gob: I was. It didn't go off.

dang
he is a beast
"My, that is a handsome fella. He must be the offspring of a Greek God!" - Bill Walton calling a Clipper's-Laker's game as Luke Walton checks in.
Forget the forearms look at the width of his shoulders. Cheese.
"Besides, AnntheFan will be here any minute to #25 you." T Darkstar
He has POPEYE arms
Oh lordy Mae, once he gets his quickness back and trims down some, he will be a MONSTER. I know Medina and the trainers will keep his quickness and explosiveness intact.
I’ve said it in wide-eyed optimistic homer fashion before, but maybe this year off was the best thing to ever happen to him. How else could he have been able to work out so much, and to do it RIGHT?
Great Caesar’s Ghost he is gonna be awesome. It’s like Greg Oden ate another Greg Oden and took the other Greg Oden’s muscles and wrapped them around his old muscles.
Who will be able to stop this kid, East or West? Dwight Howard is gonna look like a midget next to Oden.

I agree with the injury being a good thing
if it doesn’t come back to bight him later (i.e. re injur, have more knee problems)
He didn’t get caught up in hype, he’ll have a chance to come in next year as basically a sophomore in college instead of a freshman, he’ll have year of solid NBA weightlifting and training with shooting coaches….
I think he’s going to be scary.
Dwight Howarda a midget? well, maybe not, but he get R.o.Y.
Book it.
The name's Ainge, Danny Ainge. Fear our team; fear it's range.
No longer do we find making the playoffs strange.
We are the chosen, but we don't fear change.
Send us a valid trade offer, and maybe we'll make an exchange. Just don't estrange us by short changing us.
Dwight Howard isn't super tall
Only 6’9” without shoes, and if both he and Oden are wearing their shoes, then Oden is nearly 2 inches taller. He weighed more coming into the league, and obviously has only gotten bigger. They got the same wingspan, with Oden getting a little advantage with the standing reach because of his extra height.
We’ll see if Oden has kept his quickness and all that, but right now, he’s bigger than Dwight Howard.
Mortimer
Howard
has a short neck. Neck lenght is useless. That’s one of the reasons he plays bigger than his height.
Intimidation factor
That extra inch of neck length would be a tiny bit more intimidating for a guard coming down the lane.
I'm T.J. Ford, and this thread offends me.
It’s a pain in the neck.
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
Fear the neck length!!
FEAR IT!

Ability to see over a defender, defendee
I'm a really really ridiculously good looking orange mocha frappaccino drinking manhammer sandwich
Howard's neck is too short
It makes it so he can’t even turn his head past his bulging shoulders. He has to turn his whole body to look left or right.
Thank God Oden can save his energy and time by just turning his head to look at something, enabling him to catch up on his reading and save his energy for the court!
Mortimer
Maybe Oden would play barefooted.
Is that against league rules?
Could a player play barefooted if he wanted to?
Is the NBA’s Zola Budd a possibility?
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.

The first photo is from high school, this is Greg one year ago
He drank his milk.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Either the aspect ratio on the pic is screwed up...
or Oden is a dwarf.

I wouldn't want to mess with him
and his growth is impressive but I’d hardly say he’s a man among manly men while comparing him to “Blaze”. I’m not sure what Blaze is, but manly man doesn’t come to mind.
Can’t wait to see Oden on the court tossing opponents around like the St. Helens erruption tossed the trees.
I don't know, man!
That tail is quite erectile in nature…..and creepy
"Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss" Robert A. Heinlein
Be afraid
He’s obviously training for a career in MMA, since he’d probably hurt most of the guys in the NBA with arms like that…
What’s the over/under on broken backboards on GO dunks… 2?
I just hope he keeps some quickness.
Jason Quick said that he was bigger than Dwight Howard now. I believe it. He’s got Ben Wallace arms. I can’t wait till next year. Great picture!
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
and illusion
of happiness and love?
I loved that show, hence the owning of the series on soon to be extinct DVD.

It was a sad day
when they cancelled AD. I too, own all 3 seasons on DVD.
Now just hope they don’t cancel It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
Wow
Dude, he looks like he aged 10 years in one season. And a season ago he looked like a 32 year old.
At this rate, he’ll look like Grandpa Simpson in 2012.
is it just me or does that livestrong bracelet
look like his circulation is being cut off?
he looks good. needed that growth. I think the time off was good. I didnt feel that way last year. BTW does any1 have a link 2 the fan post or posts im sure from when Oden went down last year?
when one is sad one must read poetry or literature that blackens the mind and fruther depresses the spirit…
Don’t ask why i’m sad. LOL

I was going to post a link to the GO injury fanposts
But I just read my own and it depressed me. Not only because of the content, but just from the style I could tell how angry, frustrated, disoriented and shocked I had been. I read others’ and the results were the same. What a terrible feeling that was. Ugh. I recommend the Outlaw highlights.
Actually, just watch this.

I noticed this too
Oden is swoll.
"The next day in practice, if you sweat, it's going to come out of your pores, regardless. If you ask any coach around the league how many times they have smelled liquor on a player . . . As long as that player is showing up on time, doing the drills and running, that's part of it. But there have been times, yeah. Yeah, you probably smelled liquor on me. But it's not like I'm at practice drunk. I'm totally focused."

Holy Crap.
He looks straight jacked.
Boston coach Doc Rivers said he was surprised by the firing of Saunders.
"I don't understand it," Rivers said. "It makes coaching not fun."
Yesssss & it counts !!!
GO is going to have a play this year where some
player is on his back and he still throws down with
AUTHORITY !
I CAN’T WAIT !!!
Now COINCAST needs to get a deal done !!
BRING BACK OUR BLAZERS TO SOUTHERN & CENTRAL
OREGON !!!
It's GO time !
I wonder how
the new flop rules are going to effect odens play, like what was the look on his face when he first heard. was he excited?

For some twisted reason (must be the manly men reference)
Every time I read the title of this post, I think of the old Monty Python song -

I see it but its hard to beleive
bigger than dwight good god thats a monster..now lets feed him some gun powder to make the attitude just as fierce
if it can be conceived it can be achieved
What bothers me
Is that I am scared to get excited. I think that might be why I am clinging to Rudy.

Actually I´m doing all that Rudy fake stuff
to free Oden of all that preasure. So next year people can drink Rudy hatorade and let Oden lives in peace.

Oden hurt me before
I don’t know if I’m ready to love again.

We need to play James Brown's Living In America when we introduce
Rudy next year. I wonder if I could talk him into wearing the same outfit Apollo Creed wore on Rocky 4. That would make me giggle like a school boy and start handing out free high fives to all.
