At Least It's Not Hip Replacement: Oden Having Knee Surgery

You've all heard the "he's really 48" talk, so I'll spare you. I've seen him in person and something about him seems youthful even if he doesn't look the part.

If you haven't heard, Greg Oden, the #1 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft for the Portland Trailblazers, is going under the knife. Arthroscopic knee surgery before you ever play an NBA game, and after only one year of college, is not a good sign. But it's not like he has to jump too high, so hopefully they're doing these surgeries better than they used to. Or maybe the Blazers should have just taken Kevin Durant. Only time will tell.
