Release Greg Nasty!


K, I'm new here, but I'm a die hard blazers fan.  Worst of all, I'm stuck in Salt Lake City and I HATE the Jazz.  I'll get to my point:

I'm an Oden believer.  If he wants to be a dominant center, he can be.  The only person who can stop him is himself.   I want to see Greg release his nasty side.  I'm talking about a massive ABA style afro, knee pads, Buck Williams style goggles, and maybe the most intimidating beard the NBA has ever seen.  If he's really feeling nasty he can contemplate bringing back short shorts.  If any of you photoshops pros can scrape together an artist's rendering I would be forever indebted.  Think about it, you know this would be awesome.  The movement starts here, the movement starts now.

two words

Darnell Hillman

http://www.remembertheaba.com/OnlyintheABAMaterial/BigHairMaterial/Hillman/Hillman.html

Other players – such as Julius Erving and Michael Jackson – aspired to match Hillman. But they always seemed to come up a “hair” short.

At the 1997 ABA Reunion, Hillman was proud to finally receive some official confirmation of his feat – he received the coveted “Biggest ABA Afro” trophy.

A few Artis Gilmore pictures mixed in there, as well. Enjoy.

I’ve been reading blazersedge daily for a few months now and I finally joined today so I could rec this picture. Somebody should find a way to get it to him so he can see how awesome he’d look.

They ARE giving them out on the premise of "General Awesomeness"

now, after all. Somebody notify the Nobel committee that we have an 11th-hour challenger, stat!

I am as well a big greg believer...

I was wondering when I can expect to start seeing a norse god theme on oden apparel? Like i was thinking fur lining on an oden jersey and foam lightning bolts that say oden on them and viking helmets and horns and what not… Just a thought, and would be really nice for those winter games…

Oden is the supreme Norse God

He had a son, maybe you’ve heard of him … THOR!!!

Oden was blind in one eye, traded it to his two raven familiars for wisdom. His favorite weapon was the spear.

I don’t know how we work this into Greg gear. Maybe some Raven kicks.

Maybe Greg looks older because he had the wisdom of the ages bestowed upon him and like that ages a guy.

Maybe we can have a Greg Oden poster with two hot raven-black chicks in strategically-placed black feathers.

The Blazer Dancers can dress as Valkyries. I’m talkin’ metal boustiers and horned helmets, leather skirts and big fluffy angel wings. They could perform this routine where they take the brave dead that Oden slays on the court across Bifrost the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla.

We could replace Blaze with Loki, who pulls pranks all through the game.

A great nickname for Greg would be "The Man"

As in you don’t mess with “The Man”. It plays on the fact that he doesn’t look like a boy - because he is “The Man”. Pxilpooshr"s picture captures the whole marketing program.

It’s short it’s catchy it’s intimidating it’s fun.

So you think your rail thin one dimensional scoring phenom makes your squad sick?

Well he does. So sick in fact you’ll be visited by Dr Greg Nasty and the rest of RAMBO. Get well soon.

Warm reception.

I’m glad everyone is on board.

Please Greg! Release your nasty side, the power is in YOUR hands!

Thanks to all who are creating the visuals. It’s more than a concept. This beast now has legs.

That would be AMAZING

If he were to do something like that! Could you imagine him coming on the court on the opening game? People would go crazy……and everyone here would know where he got the idea!

We should send an email or somthing to him asking him to do that!!

Maybe Greg is too nice to be nasty

Maybe he’d rather win over hearts and minds.
