Greg Oden hasn't played in a professional basketball game in two years, and turned 30 years old on Jan. 22. His career didn't end up the way many thought it would, but Oden is still making an impact on the game of basketball, especially at Ohio State.
The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft was hired by his former college coach Thad Matta as a student assistant in 2016, and was retained in the same role by Chris Holtmann in June, as the former Buckeye big man continues to pursue his college degree.
No longer in the spotlight of NBA arenas, Oden spoke with Fox Sports about his role with the Buckeyes in a video released Sunday as Ohio State tipped off against Illinois.
