It’s been a rough post-collegiate basketball career for Greg Oden. It’s well-chronicled, and stating such is being master of the obvious — and then some. But one has to wonder what kind of force the former Ohio State big man would have been in the NBA had he been able to remain healthy.
Oden is now 31 years old — too old to kick-start yet another run at the NBA — but he has shown us flashes of how dominant he once was and likely could have been whenever we get glimpses of him around a rim. And if you had any doubt, all you have to do is get a look at what he’s doing in the Big3 three-on-three basketball league going on right now.
We ran across a fun video shared by the Twitter feed of BallisLife that highlights just that fact. Oden was matched up against former New Jersey Net and Boston Celtic Brian Scalabrine, and it was simply no match.
Watch as Oden blocks shots, elbows his way to bunnies, and dunks all over the Ball Hogs to help lead his Aliens team to a victory.
My oh my, what could have been, and what currently is.
