Apart from being a professional basketball player, Greg Oden also likes to play for fun, and to benefit kids. On one of his recent trips to Portland, Oden participated in a free throw contest, a three point contest and a game of horse. While he didn’t win all the games, Greg Oden was nonetheless delighted since the whole afternoon was a lot of fun and it was clear that the kids who participated had a ball (no pun intended). At the end of the day, being part of the game is often more important than who wins, and clearly Greg Oden is well aware of this fact.
