My ode to Oden is going to be very short and sweet. Oden is a rookie senior citizen that unfortunately ended up with the same injury as a former Trailblazer #1 pick Sam Bowie. Oden had surgery today on a microfracture of his knee and is done for the entire year. Portland’s season is done before it starts and so is Oden’s professional career.

The first pick of the NBA Draft of 2007 is Greg Oden.  This is more chalk than taking all the number one seeds in the first round of the NCAA Basketball Tourney.  Kevin Durant could end up being a better player, but Portland is taking Oden and that’s the bottom line because StonecoldJZ said so!

The Portland Traiblazers had only a 5.3% chance of winning the number one pick in the 2007 draft, but that didn’t stop them from winning last night in the drawing. The NBA’s rookie of the year and one of many young talents on the Blazers team Brandon Roy represented the Blazers during the lottery drawing. The Sonics were able to land the second pick of the draft so we do know Oden and Durant will end up on one of these two teams barring a trade. I’m almost willing to guarantee Portland makes the playoffs next year with this huge victory and the Sonics won’t really improve at all.

Poor Memphis Grizzlies! They had the worst record in the NBA and a 25% chance of landing the first pick and ended up with the fourth. VP Jerry West was extremely upset with the outcome and thinks the lottery system needs to be changed. The system has barely ever helped out any of the worst teams so this might be the final straw.

My name is Sebastian Telfair and I am about to be let go from the Boston Celtics due to ridiculous accusations. I just got arrested last week for having a loaded gun in my car while driving 77 mph in a 45 mph zone with a suspended a license. I have been wrongly accused of things before since I arrived in the NBA. I was wrongly fined by my old team the Portland Trailblazers when they found a loaded gun in my pillowcase on the team’s private jet back in ‘05. I don’t know why everyone is picking on me, but I wish they would stop hatin!

Sincerely,

Sebastian

We are sometimes pretty hard on Kobe Bryant here at the Underground so today we want to give him some proprs.  Check out this video clip of highlights from Kobe Bryant scoring 65 against the Portland Trailblazers.  Kobe is EN FUEGO!
