Greg Oden was the guest of honor for a big birthday bash last Friday night. Too bad he couldn’t go.
The PORTLAND OREGONIAN reports that the Blazers rookie had to miss out on the scheduled celebration held at the Roseland Theater. Over 800 attendees paid the $15 cover to partake in the music and intake in the alcohol.
Problem is Oden just turned 20 - still a year away from legal drinking age. And another concern for Oden & his agents was Toyota’s sponsorship of the event - since Greg has an endorsement contract with Chevrolet.
Oh, well - there’s always next year. By then, he might finally be healthy enough to dance again.

Sucks to be him - except for all that money he makes.

He could have gone in through the backdoor - like he’s trying to do in that photo.
