- If you didn't find the time to watch the entire Brandon Roy Episode, this short clip gives you a chance to listen to Brandon Roy talk about Greg Oden's career and how he admired his game and his character.
Brandon Roy and Greg Oden was supposed to be that next version of a Shaq and Kobe combination and what they did to my Rockets just told the story
Mannnnn don’t remind me
Imagine a line up like this
Pg lizard
Sg cj
Sf roy
Pf LaMarcus
C oden
@@byronherrera628 Lillard, Roy, Nic, LA, Oden
@@byronherrera628 That sounds great but unfortunately Portland would more than likely not have CJ or even Dame had Roy not been hurt.
@@byronherrera628😮🔥
Greg Oden was special playing basketball. Easily, a 20+ ppg, 10+ rpg, 3 bpg, multi-time Dpoty. He should have been the next great center!
Brandon Roy was definitely one of my favorite players dude was special
Without a doubt
BRoy was Dame before dame
@GIN.356.A IMO what kobe said about T-Mac that he could do everything he can and he was 6'9 I see it as Roy was 6'6 with a longer reach had the range and the burner and can get to the rim and finish just as good or better
Very special player and I really digged his playstyle he had like derozan mid range young Ray allen slashing and basically Lillard range
Idk about top 10 or 20 but I think if the injuries never came and stood healthy maybe for a 15 year and when he peaked and reached his prime I truly believe he woulda been a top 75 player at least
But that's just my hot take
Did was my fav growing up in Seattle
Greg Oden would’ve been something special Fr 🔥
Man injuries are the worst wish we could of seen more of oden and when LA Roy and oden all played together they had a 50-12 record would’ve been a crazy team
Yao McGrady Rockets and BRoy Oden Blazers biggest what ifs
Both Blazers and Rockets could've been something different 💔
Greg had 13pts/20reb/4blks the game before his injury at only 21. He was easily going to be the best center in the NBA. His body just couldnt sustain it. He also banged so hard in the 09 playoffs that he ended Mutumbos career and caused Yao to tweek his foot so much so that Yao immediately got hurt in the semi's. ODEN WAS NEVER A BUST - He had ALL the skill. POR was 50-12 when Roy/LMA/Oden started together.
Brandon Roy was on track to be the next great two guard in the vein of a Kobe and McGrady. He was that special.
Yes! Completely agree!
Sad we couldn't get to see that😢
It pisses me off when people call Greg Oden a "bust" he was an absolute beast and was just starting to scratch the surface of his potential when he went down for good in 09-10. A "bust" are guys like Kwame Brown or Anthony Bennett.. guys who just had no business in the NBA period let alone being a #1 pick
considering how great kd was at texas it makes you realize just how special oden was to be picked before him
If you,brandon roy, greg oden, never got injured it’s a different story bro.
Lamarcus too
@@ch.illmatic Maybe even Crash Wallace too. That’s a squad right therr
Makes me cry😔🥹🥲
That’s crazy… I LITERALLY just saw that video they spoke about at the beginning 🤣
Saw it and immediately went to this and his highlights, what a special dude.
Man I hope Porter Jr. dont end up like BRoy, promising young star with constant injuries 😔 stay healthy young fella!!
I remember meeting Oden at a mos def concert he was walking up the stairs dude was huge i still haven't forgotten that moment i wish i could meet Oden again
Imagine Lillard, Aldridge, healthy Oden, and healthy Roy on the same team (they wouldn't have gotten McCollum because they would have been a contender)
They coulda been a contenda
Wouldnt have gotten lillard tho
@@yechanyoon505 they still would have gotten Lillard because they got that pick from the nets for Gerald Wallace
They would’ve rivaled the warriors dynasty
@@idipped2521 FACTS
Brandon Roy was my favorite player for that 1 season
Brandon roy u are awesome, miss you on the blazers my dude
Hope Roy is doing good, gotta suck being in pain all the time
B Roy Oden And Lamarcus...unstoppable
Greg could pass too!
To this day he’s still the best college basketball player I’ve watched. Probably him, AD & Zion. Greg Oden was incredible he’s not a bust an injury does not count as a bust imo, people are starting to say the same thing about Zion but when Zion plays he’s incredible so I don’t consider that a bust.
@@tylerhartsell2168 Oden reminded me so much of Zion, D12 and Embiid.
There was a season when Oden was able to play a good amount of games and I remember thinking to myself, "he's definitely a #1 pick talent". I don't consider him a bust because when he was able to play you can clearly see he's at least going to be a piece in a great team. Too bad about his injuries.
Nice vid!
Damn!…they had a squad with Lamarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, and Roy. That was to be the new twin towers after Duncan and Robinson had been balling PLUS B Roy!?!!! That team would have definitely won a ring or 2 had they all stayed healthy. Wish Roy would have talked a little about how management messed Oden up trying to bulk him up like Shaq. 🤦♂️ 😢 But great great interview! I just liked how Roy appreciated Mike for bringing him up! You can tell Mike knows his history!
God bless
Get well soon Mike! Salamu aleykum from germany 👋🏽
Porter good looking on bringing Oden up! The Rip City family was ecstatic to get him. Oden gets a lot of undeserved criticism like he was a bust because KD has such a dominant career. Reality is Oden was more dominant than KD before he got injured. Still a great pick for Rip City. Tragic outcome and respect should be shown to Oden.
Favorite players ever
Brandon Roy 7 and Steph 30
All these young guys have no idea how good Greg was. I remember when he played Florida in the championship. All star Al Horford, all star Jokim Noah, top 15 pick Maurice Speights, and SEC 6th man 2nd round C Chris Richards all almost fouled out guarding him and had no answer for him. Guy was just a defensive monster and powerful down low too. Heck random games he was hitting midrange shots too. Had 25 pts 12 rbs and 4 blocks in the championship while being double teamed all game. If he would’ve stayed healthy I’d take him over KD every time.
it's so insane to think that oden and roy were supposed to be IT. like top notch dudes.
Could u imagine if B Roy and Oden stayed healthy? Or if da Blazers wud have drafted KD...SHEESH
Those possibilities... What if... Roy and oden never got injured...
The Blazers could have legitimately had Roy, Aldridge, Oden and Dame if Roy and Oden could have stayed healthy.
If that isn't a dynasty destined for winning 6+ rings I don't know what is.
Injury kills the best things that could happen... Ever!!! From D.Rose , Greg Oden, Klay Thompson, Zion Williamson, just imagine all these people fully healthy... Especially Rose. The NBA narrative would've been different 😪
Klay is fine now tho but i agree with other names
Interesting fact: LeBron James had already been in the league for 3 years when B Roy got drafted, he retired 10 years ago and LeBron is still playing at an MVP level to this day
Insane
who cares????
bronsexual
If he did not get injured, portland could be a championship team with oden, brandon roy, prime aldridge, dame and maccollum. Their team would be championship contender! So sad. Hoping he is living his life happily to the fullest.
Injuryception. Greg Oden, Brandon Roy and MP Jr.
Imagine LA,B Roy,Greg Oden and Logo Lillard on the same team…I wonder how that would have went.
Greg had 13pts/20reb/4blks the game before his injury at only 21. He was easily going to be the best center in the NBA. His body just couldnt sustain it. He also banged so hard in the 09 playoffs that he ended Mutumbos career and caused Yao to tweek his foot so much so that Yao immediately got hurt in the semi's. ODEN WAS NEVER A BUST - He had ALL the skill. POR was 50-12 when Roy/LMA/Oden started together.
Check the Blazers record when all 3 are playing: Greg, LaMarcus and BRoy
Roy Lamarcus Greg all healthy. OMG
Add lillard and that would've been a Dynasty.
Beside Roy, Aldridge and Oden the team was deep, Travis Outlaw, Rudy Fernandez, Nic Batum, Steve Blake and Jamal Crawford
People don’t realize how good that Portland could’ve been. Roy, LMA, Oden then you have Blake, Batum, Fernandez. All very solid
b roys game was so nasty
greg oden was so fast and explosive … he was more athletic then shaq just shaq had raw strength but oden was one of a kind
Aldridge, Oden and Roy. What could have been. Unfortunately the Blazers seem cursed with big guys and injuries.
I'm a diehard lakers fan, but I enjoyed watching this squad play, would try not to miss a game
Portland drafted him knowing he had bad knees i hope he wouldve worked out
Brandon Roy looks like Damian Lillard now thinking about it
You could tell Greg was something special. such a shame.
Lets you know how much of a freak Shaq was when it comes to injuries
What if they would’ve taken Durant instead of Oden….. DAMN THAT WOULDVE BEEN A BEAST SQUAD.
Funny thing is coincidentally these two players are players who was and is gonna be plague by injuries from reaching their stardom🥲
Kevin Durant absolutely lethal
Roy is phat
Got that AI diet
Greg Oden is Sam Bowie on steroids!!!!😂😂😂😂
Man they could of got KD wow
Yes they could have, but again when people make this statement I don’t know if they just don’t remember or didn’t watch college basketball at that time but Oden was picked over Durant for a reason.. Oden was the best college basketball player I’ve ever seen. He was insane, he’s the only big man in the modern era coming out getting compared to Shaq & Kareem. He was far ahead of Durant going into that draft.
@@tylerhartsell2168 way better den Durant is krazy
Every team in the NBA was drafting Oden. You look back at the articles and it was concensus.
Even KD on record saying he would have picked GO first in that draft too.
That should tell you just how dominant Greg was.
If only he didn't get hurt. Portland would have won a chip with GO, LA, and BR.
Oden would have been in the conversation as one of the most dominate big men in history. Up there with shaq and wilt. Truly a heart breaking tragedy, and basketball is worse because of it.
Kevin Durant absolutely lethal
