Hooped Up

I have been awed recently by the sight of Greg Oden, who has been practically living in the Blazers weight room now that he is off his crutches. The first thing that pops out is his upper-body. His shoulders are bursting, and his biceps are now cut and defined. And get this: A high-ranking Blazers source told me that Oden today still has the same body-fat percentage (7.8 percent) as he did when the Blazers drafted him, yet he has gained nearly 30 pounds, bringing him near 280 pounds.
