It's Good To Have Goals

While looking at the player bios for the Ohio State basketball team tonight, I couldn't help but notice this interesting little factoid regarding Greg Oden:

"...[Oden] hopes to continue playing basketball after graduation..."

Don't ask me to explain why, but this makes me like Oden the person even more than I did before. To hell with what Bill Simmons and his readers think about the big guy's competitive fire (or lack thereof) - that line speaks volumes about the way he deals with his success.

I don't even care that the thought probably wasn't his to begin with (if it was, he might be the most level-headed athlete we've seen in a long time) - Greg Oden is still cool in my book.
