Damn these dudes are such haters. No wonder i rarely watch. Dude couldnt even compliment B Roy, without throwing in "even though it think J Johnson was better". Wtf is wrong with people. Joe wasnt any part of the convo, but he had to throw him in to knock Roy down, while complimenting him. Crazy. Ya can tell Greg isnt on that low level mental. He said, they were both great and just kept on.

Greg Oden so chill bro, makes it even more sad what happened to him

[@Yeshuaspupil]

Man he is one of those big what if's due to injury. Him, Yao, and B Roy got robbed and we did too. I remember that video where the old lady or someone dressed as one asked him if he plays and he said he used to, when he walked away he looked so sad it hurt.

[@ky5059]

@@Yeshuaspupil that video breaks my heart

[@PaperChaserLa]

@@Yeshuaspupilidk if u can really say Yao cuz even tho Yao dealt w injury, he was still avg 20 balls, a couple seasons avg a double, shot blocking, he had a smooth 8 seasons and was an all star every season, I think even as a rookie, don’t quote me on that part unless I’m correct 😂

B Roy was crazy skilled

[@retrotv1988]

Kinda insane they went 50-12 when all 3 played together

[@danglez18]

might not of been able to get him because they would of been good if all healthy and wouldnt of been so low to pick but also Dame was drafted in 2012, imagine all 3 plus Dame...

[@saviorofs0ng]

​@@danglez18idk that dame pick came from the Nets for Gerald Wallace and he played with Roy and them so it was probs more plausible than people think

[@CBarber22]

​@saviorofs0ng they traded Gerald Wallace after BRoy retired to open up minutes for Batum. A contending team wouldn't sell away their best defender to develop a younger player.
