My Take

Greg Oden is one of those players who makes you genuinely sad every time you think about what could have been. The guy was the overall number one pick in the 2007 NBA Draft — above Kevin Durant, let that sink in — a 7-foot center out of Ohio State who looked like he'd been sent from the future to dominate the league for a decade. And then his knees just refused to cooperate. Microfracture surgery, more surgeries, more setbacks, more heartbreak. He bounced back with Miami in 2013 and showed flashes, but never got the sustained run he deserved. It's a cautionary tale about how brutal the sport can be, but I also think history's been a little too quick to reduce him to a punchline. The talent was absolutely real.
