Quotable:
“He can be hilarious, like his cameo appearance this summer on the ESPY awards, when he donned oversized Elton John type glasses and “played” the piano for a skit with performer Justin Timberlake. He is also curious, thoughtful, and I can’t think of a time when he hasn’t been respectful.
The shame is, the playful side of Oden has disappeared this season amid the pressures and scrutiny of his play. There is no longer the spontaneity of Oden rattling off movie lines from “Superbad,” or his dead-pan answers followed by a I-can’t-hold-it-any-longer laugh. What we hear from him now is monotone answers to the same tired questions about his knee, or his conditioning.
Life, not just basketball, no longer seems that fun for Oden.” – Jason Quick of The Oregonian on Greg Oden’s burden
