you arent really getting what im saying, there arent flocks of companys willing to dish out big bucks for big men to be the face of companys, Tim Duncan is one of the best players that we have seen come along in the past 10 years, but who the hell wants to buy something with also one of the most boring players out there? not me. Oden is a pretty good ball player, but he lacks any kind of persoanlity that would make him be someone advertisers drool over. when lebron was like a junior, you KNEW in a few years, his face would be everywhere, and his shoes would be everywhere. Oden doesnt have that same potential. look at some other big men...
Yao, Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Dirk...those guys arent getting any kind of huge shoe deals or anything. Oden wont either. I go on sneaker websites all the time, and nobody is wondering "when is the Oden I coming out?" when it was lebron, everyone wanted to know who, what, when, why how about lebrons shoe.
