Oden to wear the Number 52

[Majpain]

He said it himself

"People of YardBarker Nation, I'm going to tell you all first. The number I'm going to wear is 52. It's a mix of my high school and college number. So wherever I go, I hope to get 52. I know it's an ugly number but to me it's just a number, and if I do good I think one person may wear it. I know the number 20 wasn't that attractive, but as the year went on it grew on me. This one will too. One last thing, thanks LZ, ESPN, and Rachel for putting me on the cover of the magazine, making me look good, and giving me a lifetime memory of me being able to say that I was cool at one point in my life. Thank You."

:yeahthat:

From all the interviews I've seen of this guy, I think he might be the coolest dude in the league right now after D-Wade. Best of Luck to Oden and Portland fans have to be excited with the plethora of good moves over the past 2 years. Heck, I am excited for the Trailblazers.

No wonder when they showed the Trailblazers draft room and they were waving the 52 jersey.
