I did. It wasn't all about my biasism towards Durant either. I have always believed that Oden was overrated. I thought he was going to be a pretty good player, but I didn't see the potential to be a great.Having two injuries within a season at the college level scared me also. I will still admit that about 45% of that was just me being bias. Also watching Durant for nearly every game during his college career, I knew of his ability to completely take the game over. I told my dad the night of the draft, "this has the potential to be another Bowie-Jordan deal"This needs to stop... Nobody was complaining about the pick when they made it, pretty much everybody was in agreement that Oden was the right pick. They had Brandon Roy on the wing and Oden was suppose to be the next great center, so it was clear Oden should have been the pick. Nobody knew he was going to miss almost all of three seasons. I hope he rebounds though and turns into the player everybody thought he would become, because then Portland will have one of the better teams out West.
