oden measured 6'11 without shoes at combine...

unless he magically shrunk 6 inches then this is bs.

hes a young kid partying.


Oden is like 75 years old, how is it surprising that he "magically" shrunk 6 inches?

What an idiot. Go look back at that picture again. Greg is clearly bending forward so he is obviously a lot taller when standing straight up. 6'6" my ass.

Has anyone pointed out the fact that it looks like "Oden" is standing below the 6 foot friend. They're on a bit of a hill there.

dunno about the potbelly but i spy possible mantits. the forehead seems too smooth to be oden though

anyway, if it is him, he's seven feet tall on two bad knees, healing. doesn't leave a lot of options for cardio so this had to be expected

Not totally sure, but I don't think that's him. Shape of the head looks different.

Oden's a legit 7-footer. If the dude was 6-6 then it wasn't him.

Doesn't look like Jefferson to me, and I really doubt anyone would confuse those two in person. They look very different.

His arms don't look long enough.

I still don't get how Greg Oden looked like he was 40 when he was 12. My mind is blown.

He sat about six people down the from where my seats are at the Seattle Mariners game about two weeks ago. They put his picture on the screen and said that it was Greg Oden but no one really cared.

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'.



Is that Wayne Brady to the left of Al Jefferson?

That looks like Al Jefferson. Never realized how close Oden and him resemble each other.

I already did. smh, it's obvious oden is in the pic n he is also standing at the bottom of the concrete ramp while the other guy is at the peak of the ramp! these comments in this thread now explain a lot of the useless bickering in thie forum :roll:

Then the one guy who probably is not even from LA says "that's not hollywood" :roll:

Its funny @ The Al Jefferson comments, some of my friends saw him at a party and played Beer Pong with his chubby self in like Janruary I think. They have the pictures of it, I wish I did.

And that man's face does not have the lazy and old wrinkley man aspect that Greg Oden's does.

Also met James Harden once at an ASU frat party couple years ago, my (sadly) greatest claim to fame. It was dark and I zoned in from drunk-ness, turned around and he was there chillin on the table right behind me. I was like "Woah, what up James Harden" and he like nodded like "Yo", and I don't remember anything that happened after that. He had a black hoodie on and over his head, seemed tired and trying to be discreet. I'm glad he's making it in the NBA, if he ever get house-hold name status I have a good story.
