Oversized Oden Dumbfounds Fellow Rookie Durant

Kevin Durant had a special yuletide greeting for Greg Oden when the two NBA rookies met on the Portland hardwood on Christmas Eve:

Man, you’ve gotten big.”

The SEATTLE TIMES overhears the exchange between the Sonics star & the Blazers’ benchwarmer at the Rose Garden on Tuesday. During his season-long absence due to a knee injury, Oden’s weight has ballooned from 250 to 290 pounds.

The top two draft picks last saw each other at an exhibition game in October, when Oden was still on crutches. Durant’s glad that Oden is a little more mobile this time around, if not a lot more heavier: “It’s good seeing him walking around. But he’s big, though.”

Looks like Greg needs to revise his workout regimen.
