Greg Oden Loves "Nsync, Barack Obama

Here is everyone's favorite well-dressed big man working the kareokee bar.... ur party. Even though he has played only one half of a season over the last two years (including college), we consider him to be one of the most talented players in the league. Well, if nothing else, at least he isn't afraid to embrace his love of 'N Sync, which was the hottest band when he was in middle school. Oden's passionate rendition of It's Gonna Be Me is a little shocking because
A) He's a famous black man
B) He's in a business that is not exactly embracing of going against the grain (see Amaechi, John)

If you watched the video, I'm sure you noticed the trendy Obama 08 shirt. Oden said he was a little apprehensive about Barack Obama until he met him and found out Barack was a hooper himself (but it was in Hawaii, so I don't know how much that counts. Now, that Sarah Palin girl, she can ball). It isn't surprsing that Oden backed Obama because
A) He's a famous black man
B) He's in a business that is not exactly embracing of going against the grain (see Amaechi, John)
