โAdvil PM, Benadryl, Tylenol PM, Zzquil, a beerโฆ Percocet, Vicodin that I would take every night to sleep 4 hoursโ- Greg Oden
Greg Odenโs struggles in Portland had little to do with basketball. Battling bulimia, alcohol, drugs, and the weight of immense expectations, he was fighting battles far beyond the court.
Unable to sleep, Oden created his own dangerous mix of over-the-counter medication, alcohol, and prescription painkillers. Though only 19, the โhouse party guyโ found ways to cope that ultimately fueled a downward spiral.

โTo me it felt like I was sh*tted onโฆ If Kevin Durant is this great. To me, Iโm the biggest bustโ- Greg Oden
Greg Odenโs name became synonymous with โbustโ โ so much so that he executive produced a film by that title. While @KDTrey5 has long pushed back on that label, Oden reflects on the narrative that followed him, including Kevin Durantโs iconic Finals dagger over LeBron and the commercial many felt was aimed directly at him.
But Oden reminds us thereโs another chapter that rarely gets discussed: his return to the NBA and a trip back to the Finals. A story of resilience that deserves more attention.

INSANE FACTS: Did you know that LeBron James is the FIRST EVER ATHLETE in sports history to sign a BILLION-DOLLAR shoe contract.
In 2015, when LeBron James signed a lifetime shoe deal with the Nike worth $1 BILLION. ๐คฏ๐
His partnership became one of the most lucrative endorsement deals in sports history and helped solidify his status as one of the most marketable athletes ever.
Maxx Crosby when asked what feels different about the #Raiders in the Klint Kubiak era:
"I'm not into making predictions, getting too high, too low. I've been there before and I'm always going to be overly optimistic. If you don't believe, you have no chance. For me, coming into every single season, I believe we play this game to win... I think Klint has done an awesome job. (DC Rob Leonard) has done an awesome job. We have new coaches all over the place. We have a lot of new energy and it's different but we're learning on the fly... We got a lot of new guys on the roster. It's a process and you just have to buy into it every day. You can't look too far down the road. You can't look in the past. All that is irrelevant. It's all about where your feet are at... Being present and focused on getting better because that's going to give us the best chance when it comes to Sundays."
Crosby added that Kubiak is "an extremely smart, great leader of men" and that he's happy to still be in Las Vegas.
Never forget when Sid Vicious was accompanied to the ring by his real-life neighbor turned coach for the night, Seth, who has Down's Syndrome
Seth even cuts a backstage promo
He was a tremendous human. Very humble guy outside the ring โค๏ธ๐ฅน
Tim Brown helped the team by blending elite speed with rare route-running durability to dictate the tempo of the Raiders' aerial attack for nearly two decades.
His 99 regular-season touchdown receptions stand completely alone at the top of Silver and Black history. ๐
