Greg Oden Apologizes for Nude Photos

Greg Oden apologized to his fans and the Portland Trail Blazers organization on Tuesday evening, several hours after nude self-portraits of the injured center surfaced on the internet.

Greg Oden nude pictures is a very familiar one, but it is not quite as Oden Confirms Images Are Him often that we hear this story from the guy. It turns out that Greg Oden took the pictures with his cell phone and sent them to his girlfriend at the time. It seems that this girlfriend didn't really value his privacy, and made the predictable move to release those pictures to the internet. Rumors had been moving around the internet that pictures of Greg Oden sans clothing were available, but many wrote it off as conjecture.

"First, I would like to apologize to everybody, Portland, fans, the organization," he told reporters before taking questions. "It was very embarrassing. It was something that happened over a year and a half ago. It was taken and sent over a year and a half ago. I'm very sorry and I'm definitely embarrassed for my family and everybody around me."
