Greg Oden isn't a bust, he just didn't get the chance to prove himself. He will remain as one of the biggest what ifs in nba history
^
Thank you. He's been too hard on himself, especially considering it's a situation out of his control. He's also been good in the little time he's spent on the court. If you want true worst bust in history, look no further than Anthony Bennett.
@@kmax1223along with Adam Morrison and Darko Milicic
@@calebdouglas7622 morrison had a ok rookie year ago over 10 ppg. The next year he torn his acl In the 2007 preseason and was never the same again. Milicic is a good example of a real bust
Greg Oden will always be one of the greatest What Ifs in league history. So much potential that his body just couldn’t handle at the highest level
Thought exactly the same. Poor guy...
That’s why it’s difficult to really give him the bust label as his career basically ended before it even began. I could only imagine that if he had stayed healthy he could’ve had a solid window at least until 2013 but if the league still transitioned into a three pointer league and Oden hadn’t developed a jump shot he slowly would’ve faded away.
@@calebdouglas7622 Not really. Maybe he would not be an all time great, but he would still dominate
The Greg oden story is so sad. It proves what we see in the media is soul crushing. Athletes are humans too
Fr the media be ruining every athlete
So happy that Greg is doing well now man that shit is heartbreaking
underrated channel for the amount of research and quality of content 👑

Actually mad underrated vid. Lockdown K on topppp
W Comment!
this wasnt even close to the 03 draft let alone 96
In hindsight correct lol
A lot of these players did have long careers though which is crazy to even imagine
@@calebdouglas7622def for 4 of the top 5 picks to still be in the league, I doubt that’s true for 08-13 classes
Absolutely one of the best sports channels. Been binging your videos and there’s so much detail and effort. Keep it up man! Loving all of it.
Glad you like them!
Using Oden's struggles with mental health and alcoholism to segway into an ad for a service that has been widely scrutinized for not providing the service it claims to is tone deaf at best.
this class was a major upgrade to the previous one. This class to me is like what 2023's class will look like in a couple of years
literally haven't binged more vids on a channel than when I discovered you, keep it up bro!
Thanks! I'm glad you are liking them
Honey wake up a new lockdownK video dropped!! Thanks for your work as always my man! Looking forward to more great content of yours!!
Looking forward to more great comments from you as well! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Say whatever you want, Greg Oden will never eclipse Anthony Bennett as a draft bust by a mile. UNLV's 'Tony B' was as healthy as a healthy as a horse 🐎 and scored 0 points in his first five games. Oden's first fove games looked relatively solid 🪨
Yeah Anthony Bennett holds that crown hands down
Greg Oden had hope and showed flashes of greatness here and there. His body failed him-repeatedly-at the worst of times, effectively dooming his career. Bennett showcased no such potential, and Cleveland immediately became a laughingstock for picking him FIRST. OVERALL. Never mind selecting pretty much the biggest bust in NBA history over a HoFer and a 3x DPOY...hell, even the guy drafted right after him went on to become an All-Star (poor Vic...injuries really are career killers)
Oden was seen as a future star, Bennett was top pick in a weak draft class and most didn't expect him to be nom1
love your videos man!!! Always appreciate your grind!!! Much love from China!
One love chief!
I always love your draft series, you even researched what happened after their careers. Hopefully more will subscribe to your channel, King. 👌
W comment! Appreciate you!
The Greg Oden story heartbreaking. Always gotta remember they're still just humans like you and me regardless of the money. Really glad to see it all came together for him in the end.
Also crazy to see this channel so small. The content is really good. I just subscribed. Keep it up I hope the channel continues to grow. Didnt mean that in a bad way btw!!
All good preciate the sub! And yeah I agree with you on what you said about Oden
Sent you a super thanks. Love these
Glad you like them!!
Good content dude. And yeah, Im glad to know Greg Oden is now doing well after all he's been through.
^
4:14 I see Greg around campus all the time, he even plays pickup games with students from time to time
I knew that anxiety talk was a better help ad 😭😭😭
lollll
We love you Greg Oden.. Seriously appreciate everything that you do.. Thanks again Greg
I’m not gonna lie I’m hooked on these vids 😂
Same here haha
UConn just won back to back NCAA championship. There’s a part of the video saying Florida is the only college team to achieve this. Now it can be said the same for Connecticut! Go Huskies!
You are correct about that haha
@@LockdownK I was about to say-
2024 UConn: *am I a joke to you?*
Man I’m just happy that Greg Oden is doing well for himself and was able to still succeed outside of the NBA. He now is finally successful while helping out younger players coaching them up all while taking care of his family. To those who talk down on Oden calling him nothing but a bust of a bust means doing financially well while taking care of his wife and kids
Couldn't agree more
Much respect to you for using your platform to open up about mental health. Glad you were able to get the help you needed, friend.
Imagine if Kevin Durant was drafted by the Blazers instead of SuperSonics
Quality over quantity! Good job my brother! We rockin with you!
I'm rocking with you too! Appreciate the dub comment!
Good work on the video bro 🫡
W comment, glad you like the video!
Chin up, Greg! You're not a bust. A bust is different from a what if. Life had different plans for you. Your lessons will be your greatest achievements later on. Go be great, bigman!
Being a Wisconsin fan I was a big Alando Tucker fan.
It was heartbreaking what happened to Oden. He had so much incredible potential.
No matter what professional sport teams you get drafted to or you're a veteran player on that franchise team. It takes a lot of work to make a name for yourself to be a great player and become a legend one day. Not everyone gets a chance to make it to the NBA Finals, but I know it is worth it when you get your first or how many rings in the NBA. Everyone faces adversity but how you pick up yourself if up to you.
I could really sleep with this guy's voice. So drowsy inducing❤
Your so underrated
My Guy Never Disappoints With His Content 💜
W comment, and W guy!
@@LockdownK I Am so Happy You always Reply To My Comment 💜
As long as I see it, you can expect a response!
Colin couldn’t been 185
I remember seeing that one video where Oden was asked by an old lady if he plays pro basketball, he said I used to. Then walked away with his face looking sad. Gotta feel bad for his injuries
lol I thought i was tweaking when I saw u got 27k subs
Oden isn't a BUST. Real hoopers know he's not a BUST
It’s nice to see Greg Oden still in the spotlight once in a while
Could’ve also highlighted some events of 2007 (eg. The iPhone was first released, Britney Spears famously shaving her head, the first Transformers movie was released)
you right!
For me the "bust" label should be reserved for guys like Bennett, who were healthy, but just couldn't fulfill the expectations.
Thanks!
GOAT
With the thumbnail basically everyone except Greg had a decent career.
Javaris’s story is just sad. He came from a city where gang violence are a norm, and despite his intelligence, his quick temper was the reason why him and Gilbert Arenas argue and pulls out guns in the locker room after losing thousands on a card game. And after his games overseas, he was suspended permanently. After that, it was downhill from Crittenton. His family shunned him, his friends never speak to him, and he was all alone. That is until he joined a gang that seals his fate forever. After losing to a friend on a drive-by shooting, he swore to avenge him against the gang rival. At night, he spotted a teenager who robbed him earlier. He pulls out a gun, but miscalculated the shot, hitting a pedestrian, Julian Jones instead, killing her. He was caught after that, and was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Imaging going to hoop at the local pro am and you gotta guard mirza. Man
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
kD the 🐐
Oden I wouldn’t consider a bust, injury was his issue not talent and skill healthy he would of been an all star center and probably have a defensive player of the year and would lead the nba in rebounding and blocks multiple times. Healthy he was 18 ppg 12rpg 2apg 2.5 blocks on like 60% shooting.
It’s kind of sad how much KD has become underrated. I remember lebron at 35 was getting all the praise in the world for playing at an elite level. KD has been doing it also. Along side having major leg injuries with Achilles and the Jones fracture. Playing great defense as well. I know he’s known as a great scorer but he pissed everyone off in 2016 and hasn’t been talked about like he used to
heard that
Life is short and hard. I like your videos. Everyone struggles in life, and it is not easy at first, but it gets better with time and healing. Everyone deals with depression and anxiety in different ways. Some are a lot worse than others. God bless you and your family and friends too. Everyone needs help but sometimes we don't ask for help because we think we can take care of it on our own, but reality is we can't. Don't be afraid to ask for help before it is too late. Enjoy being with you family and friends and be the best version of yourself every day.
It’s crazy you said the last #1 pick prior to Greg oden to miss their first season was David Robinson, and that wasn’t even due to injury …nowadays since oden it seems like it happens every other year (Blake griffin, Embiid, Simmons, Markelle fultz & Zion kinda …Chet Holmgreen, who wasn’t drafted #1 but close enough)
you got a point
I rizzed finally
Proud Of You
Forgot to mention the part where Oden got arrested for domestic violence
Corey Brewer is also an NBA Champion with Dallas
I don't reqlly like calling guys that had injury issues busts. It's completely out of their control and doesn't seem fair since they got hoed by their own body.
Rudy was a fan favorite in Portland, I see more people wearong Fernandez jerseys than I do McCollum at the games
I’m glad you got help with your struggles. Life is very hard and you make great content, I’m glad you sought out help and are promoting men, especially, to seek mental health support when needed.
I appreciate that, not even going to lie I probably wouldn't be where I am at today if I didn't get the help, completely changed my mindset and how I take on life
Hey man great vid (again). Idk if others are having this problem but I think I have subscribed 5-10 times to your channel, and it just unsubs me often. I see you pop up on my recos all the time so it isn't bad just weird how it keeps doing that. Everytime I catch it I resub but its annoying eh. Keep up the good work tho!
that's really weird I've never heard of that problem before, anyways glad you are liking the videos!
Horford adapted his came to stay longer got to respect it same with Brooke Lopez
Did you do 1993? My personal favorite draft of all time.
not yet!
Another w video
Another W Comment
Poor Greg poor Portland missing out on KD an drafting
Where are they now
Cause im thinkin of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasnt for you
I would never be who I am
9:27 did uconn not just go back to back?
made the video right before they did that haha
I hate how they shit on oden and the trailblazers like if they knew it was gonna turn out the way it did. Ppl forget oden was being hyped can’t blame them for picking oden over kd
Not going to lie I was one of those people at first awhile ago, and then I learned more about his story realized that while it was a good pick for the blazers, things just turned out for the worst
Greg Oden was just the icing on the cake after Sam Bowie for Portlanders. Oden had a drinking problem? His millions of dollars for doing nothing didn't help? We were the one's drinking after Greg Oden.
Portland gets too much crap for drafting oden every team would’ve drafted oden at 1 Kevin Durant would’ve been number 1 in any other draft but Greg oden was shaq good if not better before the injuries
Song in the background?
At which timestamp?
Cant imagine the talent in the Uruguay league be very good or the money beong any good but at least the women there are beautiful
Marc is not better than pau
Greg oden just got hurt hes not the biggest bust ever
Did kd really win any rings? If he never played for gsw theres 99% chance tvey still win those rings ill never give him any credit for his rings if he was traded there it be different but signing with the team that beat such a punk move
Kd went to winning he didn’t win shit
joakim noah was such a bum lol
Why do you think he's a bum?
Not top twenty players of all time
KD is a bum. At least Greg Oden failed due to injury.
Had to stop to comment soon as I heard Oden speak. Breh, you're a bust bust... Your knees were bad. That's a physical bust. Real bust is like a Kwame Brown. He won't hurt like that and still barely produced. That's a bust. Give Gregg Oden a break.
Uruguay and Bologna 🫢 terrible pronouncement
yup
Moo
very interesting comment sir, would you care to elaborate
Huge L with the better help sponsorship my guy.
Fair enough
It's unfortunate, the bullshit the company has been linked to... I assume Lockdown thought they would be a good sponsor, based on his own experiences (which he related in the vid).
Better Help holds the L, not him 🤷♂️
@@meazyme nah bros just showing he has a price by advertising a shit company that has a bad rep. Then he responds “fair enough” laughable response for a laughable creator backing a laughable sponsor. They all hold the L.
@@JCif92Prove it. If you can’t then you’re just a mentally stunted individual.
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved I love yall and God bless
I liked my own comment😎
Good for you bro or whatever you identify as😅
I didn't know you could do that! Just blew my mind!
Good for you bro and I DONT care what you identify as
I love you
nobody cares
Betterhelp 👎
first
That was a raw, honest plug for BetterHelp. Thank you for sharing your personal journey. Struggles with alcoholism, depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses are not mine to share, but others who have touched my life have lived with these, sometimes for many years before getting help. For those who did get help, I am eternally grateful. For those who did not get help, I grieve and wonder what might have been.
Also, "baloney" is a food. The Italian city is "Buh-LOAN-yuh."
Changed my life
and yeah I botched that pronunciation
You care for mental health so much you...Sponsor a scam in better help?
