IT'S ODEN, BABY!

The Portland Trail Blazers has chosen Ohio State center Gregory Wayne Oden to help an improving team improve even more. The Seattle SuperSonics picked Kevin Durant, so this is going to be the makings od a great rivalry.

For the Blazers, Oden will fill in a hole at center, what with his blocking abilities, and like I said before, his scoring percentage isn't too bad, either. The Rose Garden Arena will no doubt be packed to the rafters come October.

This isn't exactly a surprise, given the ESPN leak last night.

One thing is for certain, though: BLAZERMAINIA IS BACK! And Greg Oden has, in a large sense, already made it more intense.

I know one thing: I'll be wearing a #52 shirt soon.

Welcome to the Rose City, Greg.
