Former Ohio State center Greg Oden on BIG3 roster again

Former Ohio State basketball big man Greg Oden might be 33 years old, but he’s still got a lot of talent oozing out of that 7-foot frame of his. So much so that it looks like he’s going to take part on the roster of a BIG3 team again this coming season.

According to a roster announcement on Twitter by the official BIG3 account, Oden is listed as a captain on the Aliens and will be playing with Shannon Brown, Brandon Rush, Andre Owens, and Renaldo Balkman. The team will be coached by Rick Mahorn.

Oden showed the ability to clog up and score in the middle of the paint last season, and was a defensive presence, even as he approaches his early to mid-thirties.

Count me in the camp that can’t wait to see what the big fella has in the tank. The BIG3 begins play on July 10 in Las Vegas. You can watch all the action on CBS.

If you haven’t gotten on board with watching any of the BIG3 action, believe me when I say it’s worth your time, especially with someone like Oden to cheer on.
