I almost thought you guys were going to call Greg a 40 yr old virgin...

 

hehehe

 

 

close call... but he actually looks older... :upside:

[gift_of_game]

that means he impregnated someone when he was 6 or 7?

on a serious note, for our resident MD here.. is that even possible?

 

It's highly unlikely.

 

I haven't found reports of males siring children in that early stage but if I remember correctly, the youngest woman on record delivered her first child at age 7 or 8 (??).

 

That said, that might only be possible if Oden has a rare condition called precocious puberty, which is to say that a his body got on the bus to sexual maturation much earlier than most of his peers (before age 9).

 

Such would often hint at an underlying glandular dysfunction that may have been caused by an assortment of pathologies (tumor, brain trauma, infection, congenital defects, etc).

which could perhaps explain why he's sort of, fragile, right - injuries to hand, shoulder, knee, tonsils, facial degeneration (lol), etc...

for a techie like me, and word with "gland" & "dysfunction" paints a certain physical condition called "erectile dysfunction" into my head...

 

 

...now for a 7 foot guy like oden, an erectile dysfunction would easily be called "a total waste of potential & talent"... and man, that's the last kind of setback you'd ever wanna have in your life...

 

 

 

... LOL

[denimhead]

theres always them pump thingies to get it up....

[cheeselogger]

^^hehe, true that...

 

I forgot that maybe not all glandular dysfunction is lethal. but if Greg's "maturity" is heightened or faster than normal, isn't he going to be like Robin Williams' character in Jack? (maybe a bit less exaggerated aging rate, Werner syndrome according to Wikipedia)

 

hehehe

Yup. Think Andre the Giant (bless his soul).

If memory serves right, there's this 7-foot-8 North Korean dude presently in Canada who's trying to get into professional ball---I forgot his name---he also has the same problem.

 

Gigantism/Acromegaly is typically caused by growth-hormone secreting pituitary adenomas ("benign" tumors).

The mortality rate for this subset of patients is about 2-3 times versus the normal population.

Most frequent causes of death are cardiovascular (hypertension, enlarged heart) and pulmonary complications.

The goal is to keep the growth hormone in check and accordingly, the first best treatment is surgical intervention (take tumor out, hope it works...).

However, a significant number of patients do not respond to surgery alone and radiation therapy and medications may also be given.

...and the topic for the day is dysfunctions

 

jowkkkk... gmawnin guys!

[gift_of_game]

And if I may, it's unlikely that Oden has it.

 

And I found the name of the 7-9 baller---Sun Ming Ming (that dude in Rush Hour 3)

just like Minny and Boston, maybe Vandeweghe(?) came/played for Philly. if he's still associated with the mile high club...
