For not wearing his NBA jersey to play for his team, the Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden does not need to say any sorry words, but for wearing nothing? He really owes his fans a big apology.
Oden says the pictures, taken with his cell phone and sent to a former girlfriend, were taken about 1 1/2 years ago. A friend told the 21-year-old Tuesday morning that the pictures were making the rounds on the internet. And Oden has told reporters that he was embarrassed by the photos. So if he knew what would happen today, he might have not done such stupid thing to take a nude picture and send it to anyone else.
Oden has been held out for the remaining season since he fractured his left kneecap on Dec. 5 while playing against the Houston Rockets, finishing his season early with an average of 11.1 points and 8.5 rebounds in 21 starts. And it is not the first time the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA draft out of Ohio State disappointed people with knee problems- he missed his rookie season for having microfracture surgery on his right knee.

Trail Blazers beat Magic 102-87 even short of Brandon Roy
Also guard Brandon Roy did not put on his No. 7 Portland Trail Blazers jersey to play against the Orlando Magic, he might be just as glad to hear that his team eventually managed to win Friday night’s game against the Magic, a big 102-87 win.
Magic’s star center Dwight Howard was doubled-teamed for most of the night and made just four of seven attempts from the field, finishing with 11 points and 11 rebounds, and top performer Rashard Lewis only had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assists in the Magic’s sixth loss in its last eight games. The Magic made just seven of 30 3-point attempts and hit only 50 percent (10 of 20) from the free-throw line. Howard made three of 10 free throws.
The Blazers’ top performer Martell Webster had 24 points and 9 rebounds, and the second best LaMarcus Aldridge added 14 points and 14 rebounds while the team’s two-time All-Star Roy did not get on court because of injury he suffered during the quarter of the Blazers’ 120-108 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
