I'm going to be honest, this post has nothing to do with Maryland. I tried to come up with a way it fit in and couldn't. The story is just too funny though.According to a UMD OTR tipster, Greg Oden was recently spotted tearing it up on the dance floor at a Columbus nightclub, home of his alma mater, Ohio State. Now, aside from the hilarity of seeing a 7 foot, 50 year-old-looking basketball player dancing at a nightclub, this story begs two questions.
1. Didn't he just have pretty serious surgery? You know, the kind of surgery where he couldn't play even light pickup basketball games? Now I know dancing isn't SO much of a workout, but according to the tipster, Oden was really going at it. That can't be good for the knees, right?
2. Greg Oden is an NBA millionaire. He can party anywhere. L.A., Miami, New York, anywhere. And he decides to party it up in Columbus? He hits up a nightclub in Ohio? Really? I know he went to school there and all but that's no excuse. How can anyone respect him anymore? You think Jordan would ever gamble, uh I mean party, in Columbus? I don't think so.

Genius, Oden's been working out in Portland. He was just a member of the "Junior Rose Festival Annual Parade" on Wednesday.
Do some research before you post this crap.

That picture is at least two years old. I first saw it just before the season he played for Ohio State.

Wow. The person who wrote this article is so grossly uninformed it's not even funny. And how can he be in Columbus when he was just at the Rose Festival yesterday?
Maybe you should researc a little more instead of just trying to get a reaaction out of people.
Oden is closer to 300 pounds now BTW.
