Like a bat outta hell, this week has seen a veritable torrent of Greg Oden coverage -- refreshingly, it's been almost all positive. After enduring more than a year of naysayers and negative humdrum in Oden-related news/blogs/comments the world has suddenly turned in the big fella's direction. It's as if everyone has pulled over to the curb and given the 7'0" manchild a clear path down the freeway to a successful 2009-10 season.

With all of this coverage I've gone ahead and declared this International Greg Oden Week.
