Team Oden is a Greg Oden original community foundation. In conjunction with Oregon Mentors, Greg Oden works to give back to thousands of Oregon youth throughout the year. Greg uses his gifted personality to increase the amount of mentors matched with kids.
“Mike Conley Sr. was my high school coach, and has been a great mentor. Now he’s my agent, so I continue to count on his guidance every day. Jimmy Smith, the father of my best friend Travis, is the Executive Director of the Terre Haute, Ind., Boys and Girls Club. I grew up in that club, and learned a lot from Mr. Smith along the way.
We lost Travis to a tragic car accident in 2007. I want to honor my friend by making his father proud of me by giving back and living my life the right way.”
