Greg Oden has gigantism

[-primetime-]

so this guy (kid) is 19 years old huh...

I never really gave it that much thought until tonight, but after looking at his picture, and after the draft reminded me that this kid isn't old enough to drink at a bar but he looks about 50 years old, I am now 95% sure he has gigantism...

he will have really bad health problems later on in his career and I don't think he will be in the NBA past the age of 28. In fact I think he will die before the age of 40.

has it ever occured to you to actually think before you post?

So you're gonna make a "Who is Lebron James? Well I'll tell you guys" topic next? Da hell you making topics about players we already know? Stop being a f*cking assclown. Odom is gigantic? No shyt. He looks 50? How original. You're such the comedian. Then let me add some moronic babble to boot like how he will die soon and cant drink legally.

[The Answer]

Dude, he's way too athletic and his stamina is way too good to have gigantism. Guys like Muresan, Podkolzin, and Sun Ming Ming have that. Besides, don't you think that'd be a major topic of discussion? That would've been a major red flag.

Tall people get tested for that kind of stuff dude. Trust me, it'd be widely known if he had it.

I seriously don't understand why it hasn't been brought up before?

has nobody even questioned if he has that or not?....does he not look like a black george muresan to you?

the fact that he is more athletic doesn't mean he doesn't have the desease

He's not a giant, he's just got that next level extraterrestrial breed of ugly.

so Muresan was tested for it when he played and it was known?

and it isn't the fact that he is just a "tall person"....look at his face dude....a 19 year old can not look like that without some kind of hormone defect

It hasn't been brought up because he doesn't have it. Seriously, if he'd shown symptoms he would've been tested.

Yes, his athleticism is major evidence suggesting he doesn't have it. It's a freakin tumor on the pituitary gland that causes excess production of growth hormone. Brain tumors mess people up. That's the reason guys like Muresan, Pavel, and Sun don't have any athleticisim or stamina.

And he was like the athletic opposite of Oden.
