Greg Oden: The Big Chill?

Recently Yardbarker connected one of its bloggers with big-man extraordinaire, Greg Oden, center for the Portland Trailblazers (Hardwood Paroxysm's full interview with Greg Oden).

Here's my favorite excerpt.

HP: Our blog has given you a new nickname. Due to your extremely personable and laid back demeanor and your ability to settle down an opponent's pace with a massive dunk, we've nicknamed you "The Big Chill." Is that nickname cool with you?

GO: Um, I’m not a huge fan of The Big Chill. I used to be called The Big Freeze (but I don’t remember why), Odie and G-O. I like G-O the best. (Ed. Note: Well, you better get used to it, Greg, because not only are we sticking with it, we're promoting it. It's not a nickname. It's a movement.)
