Clippers Coach Doc Rivers has some soothing words for Greg Oden … telling TMZ Sports he doesn’t think Oden is the biggest bust in the history of the league … even though Oden said he was.
We got Doc out at Catch (doesn’t anyone eat anywhere else?) and asked him about Oden’s heart-wrenching admission that he considers himself the biggest bust in the history of the league.
Sad to say but Oden’s got a good case for it … he was drafted #1 overall back in 2007 and went on to average just eight points in an injury-plagued NBA career.
Doc still doesn’t think that’s enough to get Oden the crown … and said as much when we asked him about it.
Now all we need to do is get an NFL coach to get JaMarcus Russell off the hook … wish us luck.
