  • Résumé

  • It’s easy to look back now and wonder how Oden ever could have been selected ahead of a superstar like Kevin Durant. After all, KD had averaged 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds a game as a lanky freshman at Texas, leading the Big 12 in both categories, as well as blocks.

    Durant was a sure thing, like Michael Jordan was in the 1984 draft … so why draft Sam Bowie?

    Because Greg Oden was never supposed to be Sam Bowie. Oden was Hakeem Olajuwon.

    That narrative, that four-letter word, haunted him for a long time. It hurt to hear. It hurt to explain. But that word doesn’t capture the spirit of his struggle, his journey, his resilience, his joy, and, most importantly, where his path has taken him today
