The Power of Greg Odenized Thinking TrueHoop reader Jeremy, a Blazer fan, just emailed me about one of the ways Greg Oden is making his life better: My friends and I have come up with a new term: "to odenize." It can be used in many different situations. Here are a couple of ways I have odenized myself. I got married August 5. In order to save myself from tearing up while my wife walked down the aisle I started to think about Greg Oden before I saw her. I kept thinking of Mr. Oden as she read her vows ... and no tears. As I started to read my vows I got a little choked up. I paused, thought of Greg Oden, and continued on. I always thought I would be balling through the ceremony. But no. I made it cleanly. My friends all thought my trick was really cool. The wife, however, wasn't all that happy to find out I was thinking about Greg Oden during most of our wedding ceremony. The whole reason I knew odenizing myself would work was that I had done it one time previously. My grandmother is currently suffering through cancer. I went to see her a couple months ago and couldn't help wanting to cry. I tried to think of something that made me happy ... anything. The first thing that came to my mind was the Blazers' drafting Greg Oden. I made it through the visit with no tears. You may want to pass this on to your readers -- the power of odenization is amazing. To read more of this story, click here More Basketball Articles Daequan Cook, Elton Brand, Shaun Livingston

Dallas Cowboys safety Michael Hamlin says nude photos of him surfaced on the Internet are "photoshopped."

Welcome to the world of the WAGs. The beautiful women of the world who become involved, in some way, with athletes. Many of my previous lists involved ranking WAGs but this list is different because it involves me ranking women who are not currently a WAG. This was one of my favorite lists to make because many of these women have never been a WAG but are on the wish list of most male athletes ...

The Phoenix Suns gave the Los Angeles Lakers all they could handle before eventually falling in Game Six of the Western Conference Finals, as the Lakers went on to claim their third conference crown in as many years. The Lakers appear to be in position to make it four in a row unless some team in the West can prove it has the right balance of size, defense, scoring, and chemistry to unseat Los ...

Here's an early look at the top of the Western Conference, focusing on teams that can win 50 games or more next season. This list does not include the Phoenix Suns, who won 54 games last season and reached the Western Conference finals. My view is that adding Hedo Turkoglu and Josh Childress will not be enough to make up for the loss of Amar'e Stoudemire. (Click here for an overview of the East ...

ESPN has been the premier network when it comes to sports over the last 30 years. Whether you agree with the somewhat sensationalist direction it's taken in the last few years is another matter. But with shows like SportsCenter, Monday Night Football, Baseball Tonight, the Stanley Cup Finals, the Scripps National Spelling Bee, or the NBA or NFL Drafts, it's lived up to its namesake and provided ...
