Greg Oden Enters Draft

Ohio State Buckeye center Greg Oden declared himself eligible for the draft yesterday, a decision that seems to have been made the day he came out of his mother’s womb at a solid 4′3,” 91 lbs baby boy, but yet has taken a little under two decades to finally make official.

Said Oden in a statement released Thursday, “This is a very tough decision for me. I love OSU and love being a Buckeye, but I also have a great opportunity to take my game to the next level and compete with the best players in the world. I’ve discussed this with family, friends and Coach [Thad] Matta, and I feel the time is right.”

Many reporters were troubled about the fact that the statement was written on a non-college ruled lined piece of binder paper. The words “OSU,” “Buckeye,” and “Matta” were underlined and obviously written in a different color of ink than the rest of the statement.

Kidding, of course. But Greg Oden is expected to be the number one or two pick overall in the next NBA draft. he has not yet signed an agent, however. So if you want to see Greg Oden play, you’re going to have to get NBA tickets at StubHub.com. You won’t find NCAA basketball tickets to any more games with G.O.
