The Greg Oden of pro hoop bloggers is... Greg Oden!

[From Stephen B. Snyde for Friday tidbits...]

We've said it before and we'll say it again: Rod Benson is the Kevin Durant of pro hoop bloggers (ballaz gettin' paid to play and sharing their thoughts on a blog).

Witness the last two hoop-related entries by Benson where he...

• Reveals the inside secrets of the Wizzonator as it relates to NBA drug testing (do a "find" with your browser on "Wizzonator" to jump to the funny part), and
  
  
• Lies to a whole host of airplane passengers that he played on the Sacramento Kings, all to get an exit row seat (do a "find" on "Sacramento Kings").

Where Benson is Durant, even Paul Shirley recently started to produce like the Greg Oden of pro hoop bloggers, with his comedic rendition of trying to Cassanova a pretty Spanish hoop fan while first prefacing that Spanish girls look less like Penelope Cruz and more like "female versions of Tony Parker."

But, no! Shirley cannot be the Oden of pro hoop bloggers. For the Greg Oden of pro hoop bloggers can only be...

GREG ODEN HIMSELF!

Yes, Oden has a blog. And it's not that bad. The funniest bit so far was about his trip to Nike headquarters...

I saw a guy with a Ohio State shirt and I got hype I was like thats amazing someone who loves Ohio State then once i saw 30 more people with the same shirt I was like hold up not all these people like Ohio State, but its ok.

One 7-foot question though: Why does Greg Oden need this YardBarker.com thing? The man could make serious ad money by having a blog all to himself. Of course, it's gonna be relative small change, but at least hire your friends to run the blog or something and basically rain some easy earn for your homies.
