He's going to be one of the greatest what-ifs ever assuming he is done in short order with another concussion. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 07:21 1
- This is more what I am referring to, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:22
We're through the looking glass if a guy who's won a Stanley Cup, a playoffs MVP and a regular season MVP is a bust. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:20
interesting case here, but he's won a Cup, lead the League in scoring and won a Gold Medal, he is far from a bust -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:19 9
- i would only note that as far as we know, the only difference between Crosby and Oden is that Crosby has been luckier. That's it. - TFox Mar 14, 07:21 8
  - sure, but would anyone not draft Crosby given what he has done? I say no, he still goes #1 with a bullet, Oden doesn't get drafted -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:32 7
    - with perfect knowledge and a time machine, a lot of things change. - Reagen Mar 14, 07:40 6
      - IIRC, Oden's knees were a huge concern before he stepped foot onto an NBA court. - groiny Mar 14, 07:45 5
        
        this was discussed yesterday when it initially came up. He hadn't had any knee problems coming into the draft. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:49 4
        
        and yet 3 months after the draft he had his first surgery, but I;m sure no one knew before hand... -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:53 3
        
        bad shit happens sometimes. You need to accept this. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:53 2
        
        sure, doesn't change the fact that he was a draft bust though; exactly because bad shit happens. - Beaker Mar 14, 07:56 1
        
        so we're back to Len Bias. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:58
