among NBA players, many fans will think of Embiid, the 76ers' dominant center, when it comes to the resounding title of "The Great". But in fact, the name of "The Great" is not the exclusive title of Embiid. Previously, "The Great" was used to address another future star of the NBA: Greg Oden.
At that time, Greg Oden was a hot superstar in the league, and he was pressured by Greg Oden in the draft because of Kevin Durant's physical talent. In the end, Kevin Durant won the second place, while Greg Oden was the undisputed champion. So how did this talented basketball genius who crushed Durant disappear from the league step by step?
Greg Auden was born in 1998. He has a height of 2.13 meters and a wingspan of 2.24 meters. He can reach 2.84 meters standing and touching height. Not only is the static talent amazing, but Auden's dynamic talent is also very exaggerated. According to the scout report, Auden's in-situ take-off height can reach .81m, and it only takes 11.67 seconds to complete the round-trip running in the restricted area. At that time, the league regarded Auden as a flexible big man as a young "big shark" O 'Neill.
Auden has also successfully fulfilled his physical talent. In high school, he led the team to an amazing record of 13 wins and 7 losses in three years, and Auden himself scored 1873 points, 158 rebounds and 341 blocked horror data. Lawrence North High School led by Auden won three state championships in a row. Auden's amazing strength made the media give him the title of "the Great".
However, being jealous of talents, Auden was found to have damaged his knee cartilage before he could participate in the NBA competition after the draft, and since then, Auden, the "Great", has started a long-term rehabilitation career. Auden, who returned from injury after one year, has not participated in the game for a long time to maintain his state and can't adapt to the high-intensity rhythm and confrontation of the NBA, which has become a loophole in the team. Since then, Auden suffered another big injury before he could change, and since then, Auden has fallen into the dust. Auden, who has amazing talent, has such a short career that people have to sigh the terrible injuries.
