Podcast appearances and mentions of Greg Oden

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when elite athleticism meets human biology? This week on You Can't Comp This, Russell Gibson sits down with a very special guest: Dr. David Love, an orthopedic surgeon and host of the Life in Medicine podcast. Together, they pull back the curtain on the medical realities behind major sports injuries and what they actually mean for the trading card market.We dive deep into Jason Tatum's mind-boggling 10-month return from a ruptured Achilles. Is this swift recovery the "new normal" driven by million-dollar rehab budgets, hyperbaric chambers, and elite nutrition—or is he a massive biological outlier flipping a coin on a dangerous re-injury? Dr. Love breaks down why soft tissue never heals quite as strong as bone, how the "weekend warrior" differs from an NBA superstar, and why the body's baseline healing mechanics haven't changed in 15,000 years.Plus, we look at the historical "What Ifs" like David Schwarz and Greg Oden, analyze the injury histories of Ja Morant and Zion Williamson, and look into a special hobby segment you won't want to miss!Inside This Episode:

The Ohio State men's basketball program held its "Vet Camp" this week, welcoming back more than a dozen former players, including stars like Scoonie Penn, David Lighty, Greg Oden, and former head coach Thad Matta. It's a great kickoff to a new season, and an opportunity for the next Ohio State team to learn from some living legends. In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler about the week, what it means to both the former and current players, and more. This episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, the award-winning, upscale steakhouse in Downtown Columbus, named one of the Top 50 steakhouses in America by Food Network.

Recorded live at the summit, this panel featuring sports industry experts and elite athletes from the NCAA, NFL, NBA, and MLB addresses a massive missed opportunity for modern retail brands: the fact that while almost all companies spend heavily on advertising, very few tap into the high-conversion power of strategic athlete alignments. Featuring rare insights from sports icons like Greg Oden and Jonathan Lucroy alongside current college standouts, the panelists pull back the curtain on how they define their identities off the field and navigate short career windows. The discussion delivers a reality check on the absolute death of the "forced endorsement," explaining why genuine product alignment and long-term equity models consistently outperform large, one-time checks. The group also tackles the complex mechanics of navigating the current middle-class market of NIL, handling the transfer portal, and managing brand safety through legal moral clauses, serving as the ultimate playbook for modern sports marketing.  Moderators: Russell White (Athlete Advantage) & Ethan Zakarin (Excel Sports)  Panelists: Greg Oden (Former NBA) Jonathan Lucroy (Former MLB All-Star) Austin Collie (Former NFL/BYU Wide Receiver) Eric Mika (Former BYU/Pro Basketball Player) Tiger Bachmeier & Bear Bachmeier (NCAA Football Players)  

Hour 2 of The Drive opened with Illinois football adding another piece to its 2027 recruiting class, securing a commitment from defensive back Tyrone Howard Jr. The talented secondary prospect gives head coach Bret Bielema and the Illini another athletic defender as the program continues to build momentum on the recruiting trail.  The show also highlighted new Illinois wide receiver commit Brody Knowles after he received a video message from NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki. The unique connection sparked conversation about Knowles' athletic profile and why national figures continue to take notice of the Illini's incoming talent. Illinois' recruiting efforts under Bielema continue to generate buzz as the program looks to build on recent success. To close the hour, the crew held its weekly Tuesday Draft, selecting the biggest NBA Draft busts of all time. Names such as Anthony Bennett, JaMarcus Russell, Greg Oden, and Darko Miličić fueled a spirited debate over which highly touted prospects failed to live up to expectations. The discussion weighed injuries, circumstances, and unrealized potential while revisiting some of the most infamous draft decisions. Follow The Drive on X, Instagram, and Facebook.

It's a Best Of Edition of Dirt & Sprague. Topics include battles on the links, Father's Day, and a conversation with former Blazers center Greg Oden.

"My story isn't a basketball story, it's a life story." Greg Oden On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, we sit down with former No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Greg Oden for one of the most honest and powerful conversations of his life. For years, Greg Oden's name has been tied to one word: "bust." Drafted ahead of future MVP and NBA champion Kevin Durant in 2007, Oden became the subject of endless debates about what could have been. But as Durant himself has said, Greg was never truly given a chance—his career was derailed by injuries before the basketball world ever got to see what he could become. In this raw and revealing conversation, Greg reflects on the pressure of being the No. 1 pick, the weight of expectations, and the frustration of seeing his legacy defined by circumstances beyond his control. From his rise as a high school phenom and Ohio State star to the devastating injuries that robbed him of years on the court, Greg shares the emotional and physical battles that shaped his journey. Parts of this conversation bare all as Greg's transparency truly brings his pain and passion to the forefront. He opens up about his time with the Portland Trail Blazers, the criticism and scrutiny that followed him throughout his career, and what it was like earning a second chance with the Miami Heat and reaching the NBA Finals alongside some of the game's biggest names from Lebron James to Dwayne. Wade to Chris Bosh. Beyond basketball, Greg discusses his struggles with mental health, depression, addiction, self-worth, and the challenges of rebuilding his life after the game. He speaks candidly about regrets, losing loved ones, what ifs , public perception, and the process of finding peace with a career that never unfolded the way anyone expected. This episode isn't about what Greg Oden wasn't. It's about who he is, what he endured, and how he found the strength to keep moving forward when the world had already written his story for him. Greg's new chapter is leading as a dedicated father, mentor, college advisor and also filmmaker, with his feature film "Bust" getting ready to release. A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, redemption, and one of basketball's greatest "what ifs." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jay Bilas joins Mo and Coach Brendan Suhr for a full breakdown of what might be the deepest NBA draft class in history. If you're trying to figure out who to watch beyond the big three of Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa and Cameron Boozer - and whether this freshman class really is as stacked as everyone says - this is the episode to listen or watch.Jay explains why he'd still take Cooper Flagg number one over every prospect in this year's class, what's really going on with Darren Peterson's availability, and the sleeper names that NBA scouts are quietly circling. The conversation goes deep on the art versus science of the draft, with stories about Michael Jordan falling to third, Jerry West outworking everyone in the league, and Kobe Bryant going 13th overall.The trio also tackles some of the NBA's biggest current debates: should teams be tanking for this draft? Is the 65-game rule fair when genuinely injured players like Jokic miss the cut? And why the American basketball development system might need to drop its arrogance and learn from international pathways. Plus, Jay shares stories from his time as Coach K's graduate assistant at Duke and what makes Jon Scheyer a coaching genius.Topics covered: The historically deep 2026 NBA Draft freshman class Sleeper prospects: Caleb Wilson, Keaton Wagler, Nate Ament, Darius Acuff, Milan Momcilovic Cooper Flagg vs this year's class - where Jay would rank him Darren Peterson's availability and the narrative problem The art vs science of the NBA Draft Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Greg Oden draft stories Jerry West's unmatched work ethic as a GM American vs international player development and the soccer connection Jon Scheyer and Duke's coaching succession Tanking incentives and the 65-game award rule The flagrant foul debate

On a new episode of FnA, Kevin Figgers & Adam Auslund debate who the biggest problem on the Lakers is and whether Luka Doncic can win a championship in purple and gold. The guys then are joined by The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner to discuss the NFL Draft Combine before discussing how the 65-game threshold for NBA awards is ruining the NBA despite its intentions to combat load managing. The guys then discuss the biggest what ifs in sports history including Greg Oden, Kawhi Leonard, and Brandon Roy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00 ... Opening Animation ... Ross hello and introduces the panel ... Show #185 is dedicated to Baron Davis, who wore #85 with two NBA teams. 1:10 ... Bruce introduces "Woj" and pronounces his name correctly ... Bruce runs down some highlights of his legendary career. 3:21 ... Woj shares his thoughts on delivering his acceptance speech at the Hoop Hall of Fame ... he singles out Jackie MacMullan and how other legends of the game sat and listened to his speech. 5:12 ... Woj grew up in Bristol, CT the home of ESPN.  But before joining ESPN in 2017, Woj worked in the newspaper business but took a leap of faith in 2007 and joined Yahoo! Sports.  He shares great memories of pioneering digital media NBA coverage with Yahoo! 10:04 ... On being an underdog at Yahoo and using that to fuel his desire to compete.  Woj loved being an underdog. 11:47 ... ESPN is a machine and no individual person is bigger than "the place."  But that machinery helps to make stars.    But Woj did his best to keep his underdog mentality alive, although at ESPN that was hard to do.  Woj reflects on the journey and the pride he and his crew felt about their work. 15:00 ... World B asks about growing up in Bristol and traveling all over the country before eventually returning to Bristol to work for ESPN.  That's why he didn't pursue ESPN at the start of his career ... he wanted to be a sports writer, which did not exist at ESPN back then. 17:02 ... Woj's elderly Dad lived in Bristol when he joined ESPN in 2017.  It was meaningful to be able to spend some time together. 19:11 ... Woj and Donovan Clingan both went to Bristol Central High School.  Woj knew him from the time he was in 8th grade. 21:13 ... Woj broke so many stories that he made it seem routine ... if there was a big story, he probably broke it.  But there were plenty of challenges ... the demands on his family time were tops on that list.  But there were many others and Woj explains some in vivid detail. 27:30 ... Woj shares his experience doing a Giannis Antetokounmpo Series during COVID that was a three part podcast he did with his editor Cristina Daglas, who is Greek.  Woj was incredibly impressed with Giannis's recall and contributions to the project. 31:32 ... Woj reflects on his first real scoop with Yahoo! on Greg Oden and how it more or less put him on the map. 34:07 ... When LeBron James and Chris Bosh went to Miami, the modern "Insider" position was really created.  It fueled interest in all the "behind the scenes" moves and the fans were hungry for all of it. 35:34 ... Woj runs through his main responsibilities as general manager at St. Bonaventure and the word "general" describes his responsibilities.   He tells a great story about how the new film room at the school was where he met his wife Amy back when the student newspaper office was there and they were both students. 40:44 ... The NIL has changed college sports in a huge way.  Woj explains where a lot of the money comes from and how "Rev Share" is a big part of the University's financial relationship with students. 43:53 ... Bruce asks Woj to explain how he fits into the chain of command between the coach and athletic director. 46:16 ... Woj has an enormous social media following (more than 6 million on Twitter/X and 2 million on Instagram) and he explains how his personal reach benefits the basketball program.  While there are some rules regarding his tweeting, he can still drop a Woj Bomb on behalf of the program. 48:43 ... Ross asks about new recruit Joe Grahovac, a 24 year old sophomore who has an incredible personal story.  There is a lot of NBA interest in seeing Grahovac and the school will have a "Pro Day" to showcase Grahovac and other Bonnies players.  He looks a bit like a red haired hoop legend from UCLA back in the 1970s. 52:58 ... Woj loved pursuing players from around the world and recruiting them to the school.  They've brought in six international players and all have great individual stories and bring different cultures into the program. 57:08 ... Culture is something that has to be worked on every day ... the guys who live that way are the guys they want at St. Bonny. 58:04 ... The "Pro Day" at St. Bonaventure will be a first for a "Mid Major" school.  Woj explains how an event like that can enhance a player's prospects for a pro career. 1:02:00 ... Some of the NBA players Woj knows have helped mentor the St. Bonny players, especially in dealing with injuries.  Woj also tries to connect players with alumni who are business and community leaders. 1:04:46 ... What is Woj's top goal for the upcoming season?  To see the growth of the players and the program is a priority. 1:06:01 ... Ross thanks Woj for his time tonight!
