24 Points Teaches Bulls a Lesson From Greg Oden
Greg Oden sees himself as usually a nice guy, holding in his frustration and/or anger until it all finally comes out in a blaze, as it did in a game he played on November 23rd, 2009 against the Chicago Bulls in Greg’s home turf in Portland. During the course of that game, Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose dunked on Greg Oden, inspiring in Oden a retaliation which led the Trail Blazers to a very impressive 122-98 victory over the Bulls. But even more remarkable is that despite, or perhaps because of Greg’s reaction, he scored 24 points in that game, tying his own personal high score, and came back with 12 rebounds. This is definitely a case in which “getting mad” is not necessarily a bad thing.
