Greg Oden Quotations

I don't know. My teammates help me out so much. It's all them.

His talent is much better than mine. I love his game.

When they (Greg Jr. and his brother, Anthony) started basketball, I couldn't see them as much, ... I used to have them for summers and entire Christmas breaks because I never wanted them to think I forgot about them.

He was like, 'Big G, what up? Who you walking with?' ... I said, 'Nobody. I'm just sightseeing.' He was like, 'Get in.' He was going to a party, so I rode with him, then he had his driver drop me off.

I was just angry at my mom, ... I don't know if it was because they broke up, but I used to argue with my mom a lot, just over little things.

I thanked everybody because I can't be there all the time, ... He has a lot of people that care about him, which makes a lot of difference.

Our relationship is real. It's no fake. He's down to earth, and I'm down to earth. We'd never have a falling out over money.

My mom and dad work hard. . . . I see that and I wish I could help.

Look at it this way. If a guy can dribble, I say he's better than me. I can't dribble that well. If a guy can shoot, I think he's better than me because I'm not a good shooter. I'm just a big body, so until I can do those things, I won't be the best player.

Most guys give up after one quarter against me. He tried hard the whole game. That's the best challenge I've had all year. Brian never backed down.

You always feel confident when you have great players around you. For me, just being on this team is a confidence booster. If I mess up, I know my teammates have got me.

You are who raised you. I've never been into entourages and stuff, and I know Zoe hasn't either, ... That's why I understand when he comes here and doesn't want to be bothered.

It was two hours of that, ... Pizza and Nickelodeon.

No, really. There are a lot of good players here. My whole team is better than me.

Coach Conley made the point that I've challenged myself from the time I was young and goofy. It would be a good thing to challenge myself and see what I've got to improve on. I'd love to do it (Olympic workouts).

This is one of my greatest moments. I'm very happy to win this award, and I'm very grateful.

They were just there. They were always there, just being the kind of people they are, ... They helped me see they were the kind of people I wanted to be, good family men, making a living, being happy.

It was fun. We had a good time,

I told him that I don't think I'm ready, but the big thing he and coach Conley and Sonny all said was, without me attending and playing, that I won't know where I stand. If anything, it'll be a learning experience to see what I have to work on.

Everybody wants to show him off, but I don't do that, ... If he wants to lay there, I make sure he has cable to watch and food to eat.

I know that's where I want to go, ... I'm not really worried about other schools or things like that. As far as signing, I just haven't talked it over with Mike or Mom yet.

I'm really happy for my teammates. We worked hard this year.

I have no idea at this point, ... We haven't talked about it. We will have to talk about it first.

I haven't played with a lot of guys like that except in all-star games, and those are just all-star games.

I appreciate history. But I really haven't given it a thought.

To meditate on Scripture is to allow the truth of God's Word to move from head to heart. It is to so dwell upon a truth that it becomes part of our being.

For starters, Portland isn't a great city to live in if you're a young, African American male with a lot of money,

We are living at a time when the Prostestant church is rediscovering the truth that transformation in Christ occurs through the disciplines of formation. Finally, Adele Calhoun has pulled all of these together into one volume, complete with clear definitions and practices of a variety of ways that God uses to grow our lives. No longer do you have to root through scattered pieces of paper, nor a chapter here and there to get the big picture of the tried and true disciplines. This is one resource you will want to have at your fingertips.

I know I'm one of the biggest busts in NBA history

This is a great regional. You have to be on your best game this day.

All great players think different. A great player has his own mindset of what he wants to do.
