- On June 28th, 2007 the Portland Trail Blazers selected Greg Oden with the first overall pick despite leaving one of the best scorers of our lifetime on the board waiting. Today we cover what happened to almost every pick in this draft class and what happened during their NBA careers.

Oden ain't a bust. He's a victim of injuries. Those are two very different things. It's unfair for him because he never really got to showcase what he got.
True
Yeah sure he wasn’t a bust just his body was which he didn’t take care of which is why he’s a bust 😊
If you get injured a lot u can. Qualify as a bust
@@jamman950 big facts . Oden is still trash for getting hurt 24/7
There is more than one way to be a bust, whether it’s bad play or not being able to play due to injuries or getting suspended for bad behavior
"Big booty Lowry" caught me off guard ngl💀
oden not a bust i don’t think injuries make you a bust it’s just extremely unfortunate
KD’s development didn’t surprise anyone, he might have out performed his expectations but people definitely saw his potentials. With that said, Oden was the consensus #1 on everyone’s board. He was that good!
Leading up to that draft people were saying Oden could be the next shaq the dude looked legit like the next great bigman. Those injuries are a real killer
Greg Oden's best game was in his "2nd year of playing" 2009-01-19. +27 plus/minus, 24 pts, 15 rebs, 2 blk on 64% shooting. Seeing this really makes you think what would happen if he didn't get injured by having one leg longer than the other.
Greg oden scene with the old lady is a heartbreaker
Big booty Lowry KILLED ME 😂😂😂
Shame about Oden. Didn’t get the opportunity to fully prove himself, pretty sad that he also views himself as the biggest bust too.
10:00 caught me off guard to say the least 😂
Let’s goo ! Blessing me at midnight as I lay here
Sleepless
I had a sense you’d be up. That’s why I posted 🤝
Your videos remind me of all the awesome sports books I use to check out in the library growing up keep up the great work man
I watched that 2007 draft and I don't blame the Blazers for picking Oden. They didn't have a solid center and Brandon Roy was playing his mind out. Picking Kevin Durant didn't make sense because Roy and him would have to battle for minutes.
People don’t understand how crazy it was for Oden to cook both Horford and Noah in the national championship
Oden is one of the biggest what ifs in NBA history I truly believe he woulda been a dominant big or at least an above average starting center at the worst case scenario if he stayed healthy and continued to progress like really sad to think about
Oden is just like Sam Bowie, big men taken before hall of fame player and got injured before they show potential. Most people will label Oden as the biggest bust but to me I give that to Anthony Bennett.
Both by the blazers too
As a Portland native and fan, I'm actually glad to see most of the commenters supporting Oden as not being a bust. When he was on the court, he made a difference. Unfortunately, he didn't get to be on the court :(
Dope ass draft class frfr
Crazy amount of talent all over the board
Big booty Lowry😂
Pic still doesn’t do him justice
Greg had the talent but the health issues just got way out of hand I wouldn’t call him a bust just an unfortunate set of circumstances
No being healthy is being a bust , dude didn’t take care of himself
@@xzzz444x9 how? His knees were like glass. That’s not a factor that he has any control of he had the ability just not the time nobody calls D rose a bust nobody calls rg3 a bust in the nfl. They showed the potential to be all time greats but they never had the opportunity to reach that level
@@xzzz444x9 you can fully take care of yourself and still get injured. Unless you're also gonna say that Kobe didn't take care of himself when he tore his Achilles.
@@therealneal3034 Kobe also wasn’t hurt every single year
@@xzzz444x9 20 year career, he only played all games 4 times. So he was actually hurt pretty often 🤷♂️
What's even more amazing is almost all of the top 5 of this draft are still playing in the league, except Oden but that ain't his fault.
Nice draft class right here
This draft was surprisingly deep in rotational NBA talent.
one of the best draft classes of alltime
I dont count oden as a bust, hes another what if like roy. Health complications that he grew up with since a child
that oden vid always gets me :/
Hate to see him sad
KD might be the most disappointing player I've ever witnessed. I would love to be a KD fan, but he makes it impossible.
Sarcasm, kd is an all time great … no matter how he left okc or how many championships he’s won
Imagine if Kevin Durant was drafted by the Blazers instead of SuperSonics
Portland has a history of passing up on great number one players
Bring back our Sonics!
i hate it when people call greg oden a bust
Everyone has a different definition of what a bust is
Remeber how it was not so big a deal that oden was taken over durant? I dont think its fair to call oden a bust. He was injured.
Oden is a good guy.
What captions u using just a basic editor? Looks like ai
Btw gave u a sub, i like your vids
There wasn’t any captions in this vid I don’t think?
Nah I do all the editing
The funniest part is the benchwarmers for the warriors getting upset the crowd was cheering😂😂 they was all mad they had too play cause he was out. They was just upset they was gonna get exposed 😭😭
Glad Corey Brewer draft my historic favorite team Timberwolves
With a healthy Roy and Oden. The trail blazers would have special to watch.
Nick young is most known for his memes.
Injury busts should be a separate category from actual busts
Oden and KD both have the rights to be superstars im this batch... Period.
KD is talented and so was ODEN that time, though Greg was just unfortunate that his body was not.capable of supporting his movements.
Oh nah 10:00 is nuts lmao
James on Curry 😂
You laugh, but that MFer was an absolute stud in high school. One of the greatest players in North Carolina high school basketball history, in fact. He started having bouts of depression after awhile, so he disappeared from the game entirely.
I feel bad for oden
If oden never got injured.there is no AD in the lakers for sure
That old lady talking to Oden gives me Demon lady from a movie vibe just making things worse ya know
Greg Odon was not a bust
Oden is not a bust. He is unfortunate. Because of knee injuries.
Mike Conley is gonna be champ by seasons end
Keep hope alive bruh 😂😂
@@TTJJCC”hope” the wolves have played like the best team all year it’s not hopefully its a reality it’s if the season keeps going the way it’s continuing to go, no team in the west can fw the wolves they’ve beat all the top contenders in the west easily multiple times without showing any weakness to teams like Denver and the clippers which is eveyone favorite team for some reason and beat Boston then took healthy Boston to OT in MSG without 2 starters playing they’re obviously the best team in the league
No fucking chance!
@@jUAN.T u don’t watch ball then, learn something lil bro
Oden was not a bust
I wish I had a Kevin Durant sonics trading card
Greg Oden is not a bust ! He's a victim of bs injury. The biggest what if in Portland with LA and BRoy
Booker the new Carmelo
oden was not a bust he wouldve been an all time great if healthy
Even if the blazers had selects Durant I bet he would of walked in free agency anyway..
Rudy Fernandez is one of the greatest spanish players
And Marc too
Ricky Rubio or Pau Gasol
Oden isn't a bust. You say you don't get why people bash him, while you did in the first 10 seconds
I made a joke about him on the Aliens being a bust... then I continued to back him up throughout the section. Also if someone labels a player a "bust" it could be for multiple reasons.
Lol big booty Lowry
Yi was too early he would be great in this era were defence isn't important
6:20
Durant
I'm glad the warriors lost to Toronto.
Kd couldn't win without the warriors.
The Warriors won without kd, case and point 2014-15. The saga between the warriors and lebron would have been more entertaining without Durant. Durant should have joined Kawhi or Tatum. Or Miami with Butler. He's not gonna win another title with a teammate like Harden or Kyrie Irving. And if his injuries persist, his career will be cut short, but hopefully that doesn't happen, but his legacy has become a story of being unable to win a title without being on the warriors. Thus far
Oden looking sexy in the thumbnail
Anthony Bennett is a bust not Oden…
Oden is a bust. Anthony Bennett is also a bust. The reasons are different but a spade is a spade.
atleast oden got a 💍💍💍💍..
I'd still rather have Greg Oden, than Kevin Durrant's whiney BS.
Thunder are not the Sonics and have no history it’s stolen
👍
If Oden is a bust then people like Brandon Roy, Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill are busts . 🤷♂
Brandon Roy being a bust when he made 3 all star teams in 6 years and won ROY? That’s not comparable imo
@@SweatbandSports I’m saying that because of injuries. I don’t think it’s fair to call him a bust when he never got a chance to display his skill set like he did in college.
I gotchu, I feel like everyone has their own definition of a bust.
@@SweatbandSports facts! I respect it. I was a fan so I’m a little salty too 😂
U gay
Calling Greg Oden a bust is like calling Robert Horry the most accomplished player since Bill Russell. Circumstances beyond their control contributed to much of what became of their careers.
