That was the location, about 8pm Portland time, that and friend and I were walking downtown, looking for a movie to watch, and we were leaving the Pioneer shopping center near the pioneer courthouse square. We had tried two other theatres, trying on a whim to make it on time to see the movie “We Own the Night”. We failed again on the third theater, but as we were leaving, we saw from across the street an unusually tall fella, about 7ft., and strangely enough with crutches. As we passed by, there he was, chatting on his cellphone(otherwise I would have asked how he was doing or at least said hello), none other than the Portland Trailblazers center Greg Oden. Had we chosen to see Saw IV, the only movie that had not started when we arrived to the theatre, perhaps we would have sat next to him. He was solo, but perhaps meeting up with some friends. I haven’t seen any of the Saw movies, and probably never will, but I did see Greg Oden. Basketball season is almost upon us.

Coach I am moving to Portland. That is the most incredible thing I have ever heard in my lifetime. He is my idol third only to Kobe Bryant and Mike Conley Jr. Tell him I said hello.
