Greg Oden is Still Rising
Greg Oden set a towering example of how hard work can build on prodigious talent. His work continues.

Greg Oden hated hearing his alarm clock. Four days a week, he would go to Lawrence North High School in the wee hours of the morning for workouts with some of his teammates.

Some days, it was free throw shooting. Some days, footwork. Each day, a rigorous routine.

He wasn't looking at his next game or next season; he was driving toward what he wants out of himself as a basketball player.

"One of my goals is, I want to be good in the NBA," the 7-foot center said. "I want to be one of those guys that you've got to worry about, that fans want to go see in the NBA.

"You have to work at it to be one of those guys. When I see myself, I want to be there, so I figure I need to put in the work."
His high school career shows he's on the way.

Oden was an overwhelming choice as The Indianapolis Star's 2006 Indiana Mr. Basketball, receiving 1771/2 of 194 votes cast -- 91.5 percent -- from coaches and media statewide.

Since voting records of Mr. Basketball were first released in 1988, only Damon Bailey in 1990 received a higher percentage -- 95.3. No other winner exceeded 70 percent. More often than not, the winner received fewer than half the votes.

Oden's runaway victory is hardly a surprise. He has won virtually every national award, including back-to-back Gatorade Player of the Year, a feat duplicated by only LeBron James. A four-year starter, Oden led Lawrence North to three consecutive Class 4A state titles and a 103-7 overall record, including 24-1 in the postseason. He never lost a conference game. He never lost at home.

Many believe if Mr. Basketball wasn't reserved for seniors, this would be his second such honor, perhaps third.

"Anybody who doesn't recognize he's the best big man of all time in Indiana high school basketball -- and if not the most dominant, certainly the most dominant at his position -- then they're not being objective or don't know the game," said Hoosier Basketball Magazine publisher Garry Donna, who has followed the state's high school basketball scene since the 1950s.

"Greg Oden, George McGinnis and Oscar Robertson are the most dominant players I've seen. . . . There have been a lot of 6-10, 6-11 players, but there has never been one like Greg Oden. The thing that sets him apart is what sets Bailey and Robertson apart. They think the game. They know the game. They make others better."
