Close your eyes, then pinch yourself; I promise you’re not dreaming.
Greg Oden is back on the basketball court. Seriously. And he’s dunking. Seriously.
Oden took the floor for the Miami Heat against the New Orleans Pelicans. It was the first time he checked into an NBA game since December of 2009. Think of all the things that have happened since then. The Charlotte Bobcats went from blissfully mediocre to ridiculously terrible. Dwight Howard has suited up for three different teams. I’ve wrote countless articles about how funny it is that Howard suited up for three different teams. The list goes on.
Anyway…Greg Oden dunked. It bears repeating because it’s weird even writing that. He dunked. In an actual game. Not a game that mattered, but still, baby steps.
The jam came off an entry pass from Chris Bosh. Oden caught the pass, dribbled once, employed a head fake and BOOM. It was awesome. Really, it was kind of regular, but awesome nonetheless. This is something none of us have seen in so long. The last time Oden dunked, Justin Bieber wasn’t as big of a douche. Now that really takes me back.
See for yourself what the dunk looked like:
