Oden had been out of the headlines for some time, after his latest injury. He is currently out for the year, for the second time in his three seasons of play. But the leaked photos put him back in the spotlight - and likely reminded people of who he even was.

It says something that it took nude leaked pictures for fans to talk about Greg Oden again. Just three years ago, everyone was talking about him for much better reasons, as he was pegged as the next great NBA center ever since high school.

The Trail Blazers have been a winning team without him, but they need his help to get to the next level. In addition, Portland remembers how they took Oden over Kevin Durant, who is having an All-Star season at Oklahoma City.
