LaMarcus Aldridge On Greg Oden & Brandon Roy’s Potential | ALL THE SMOKE

Rookie year you guys go 32 and 50 so you land the number one pick the following year GRE Oden goes one KD goes two um what was it like you know you you’re saying you and BR Roy kind of found your Chemistry you add a monster in the

Middle cuz he was super talented injury ridden as a but what was that like with you three you guys had Dylan what was the record when they played together 52 and 12 when you guys all three were on the court at the same time talk about what you feel like that

Was and what you feel like it could have been if B didn’t start getting hurt and G didn’t start getting hurt first shout out Greg man cuz he he wasn’t a bus I remember like he was hurt people start calling bu when he was playing he was a

Double double machine when he played bro I never seen a dominate that mother like he was dominant out there so it was just for me it was confusing cuz you know young Bulls man like you know I want my own you know like my own too like my own

Opportunity like I I ain’t going to sit here and like lie to you so for me it was just like tough because we were good as a when they were healthy but then for me it was like every time we got healthy cuz we had Andre Miller

Too and that is a dog too I love playing with him Dre Miller the best control one of the smartest you would ever play with 2 miles power get anywhere on the court I have a story for him next but um so then it’s like um we got him

So every time we were healthy I would be on the trade block cuz it was like well we really kind of need him but we don’t and we can go get us you know like a three and D guy for him because he’s like good and but then Greg gets hurt

Then it’s like oh we need you come back and then I would you know get the ball more they would play through me more so bro it’s like you need me you don’t want me you you know what I’m saying like that was a lot to deal with just

Like if you want me then even when we got everybody healthy like just put me in like that that Lamar odro like that’s what I’m saying like just play through me every now and then cuz like that that was cold and he wasn’t Kobe or none of them but they

Needed them you know what I’m saying so it’s like put me in that row but they never did it was always like when were healthy they didn’t need me you know what I’m saying so that was tough but n Greg was a monster bro I never seen

Nobody dominate like that like so easily it was crazy speak to B Roy’s game though you know he was someone else that that that maybe one of the top five top 10 what ifs type player but he was out the gate to what he would have got hurt

Bro out the gates he was tough was too easy for him like playing with that like playing with that was it was too easy like I remember the the thing that stands out to me was like the uh Toronto game right went up and he changed

Hands on BOS and went to the left in the air and like bro it was just he got in the gym and he worked but the was just but he couldn’t work too much because of his needs so it was like he found the balance bro but like he would

Come in the game that would be too easy for him like coob as a and I remember him going there with Kobe and Kobe giving him the respect kind of like Dame did too and got you know got the same thing but I remember him and

Kobe going at it I remember after the game like Kobe’s like he got no weakness and Kobe said about you that’s that’s real I don’t think nobody went at Co like like B Roy bro they went at it they went at it they went at it bro so to see

Them to see Co who we all had up here and see them go neck and neck like that that was tough B Roy holding his own holding his own bro we going to La and getting wins cuz this is carrying us
