Saw Greg Oden in Hollywood last night

[mrfatwrecker]

Was strolling through the crowd at Las Palmas and saw his face, was sure it was him. Went and told my friend and he laughed and said that's not him, and then I ended up agreeing after seeing from afar that he didn't look 7+ feet tall and was fat.

Upon leaving the club though, he walks out into the light and we're sure it's him. You can't really tell from the picture, but he's got a hell of a potbelly goin on right now. He's fat and out of shape...and I don't know what the deal is, but he does NOT look 7 feet tall. I don't know if they chopped some inches off him when they performed his knee surgeries, but that's my friend standing next to him at the doorway, and he's 6'. Oden looks like he has maybe 6 inches on him, and he doesn't appear to be slouching majorly, even though he's not standing up straight. It's not the camera angle either, he's standing right by him. He asked if he's going to resign with Portland and he mumbled some "man I ain't givin no **** about basketball right now, I'm gettin tipsy"



Also, Jamario Moon was there, and he looked easily taller than Oden.

EDIT: It's been pointed out that Oden is standing at the bottom of a ramp and my friend is at the top. I didn't notice, so that pretty much explains the height discrepancy. The guy's 7'.

That isn't Greg Oden. The only way you could tell is if you pulled down his pants.

[turtlesnjoi]

That's just some black guy.

Watch the Knees Greg! - All Portland fans out there?

Anyways, did you talk to him?

[5ickwithitxx]

That can't be Oden, that guy still has his knees.

Its him, look at his hand with those long-ass fingers.

Shoulda kicked him in the knees. If you heard shattering glass you could've confirmed it was him.

I didn't, but in the OP I mentioned that my friend did. "He asked if he's going to resign with Portland and he mumbled some "man I ain't givin no **** about basketball right now, I'm gettin tipsy""

There's a door guy at Marbella who looks like Greg Oden are you sure you aren't talking about him?

lolwut

I said Las Palmas in the OP, and he wasn't a door guy, it was Greg Oden, as evidenced by pic.

Eh..what if there was nothing to shatter in the first place?

[Jeff23]

you know what pisses me off? that scrub named Jamario Moon being recognized in the streets of L.A.

Guys, you need an old man joke to complete the originality of all the wisecracks.

maybe door guy had the night off; I have never heard of surgery chopping someone down by 6 inches

That DOES look like Oden though.

I mean, my friend is a Clippers fan and wasn't even sure of his name. I on the other hand recognized him just because of my familiarity with most of the players in the league. I knew him from when he was signed as a rookie with Cleveland. Neither of these guys were getting much recognition.

It WAS Oden. I clearly recognized him first inside and then confirmed when he walked outside into the light.

Moon was never a rookie with Cleveland..
That does look like Oden, but I don't think the league would list him 5-6 inches taller than he actually is.

I went to Ohio State and lived in a dorm right next to Oden and saw him several times a week. Hes the tallest person I have ever seen. There would be no possible way to mistake him for being on 6'6'' or so. Hes a giant giant man and a true 7 footer.
