Joel Craig Ehlo

Joel Craig Ehlo, referred to as Craig Ehlo (born August 11, 1961, in Lubbock, Texas), is a retired American National Basketball Association player.

A 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) guard/forward from Odessa Junior College and Washington State University, Ehlo was selected in the third round of the 1983 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets. He played 14 NBA seasons with four teams, amassing respectable career totals of 7,492 points, 2,456 assists and 3,139 rebounds.

He spent the prime of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, with whom he tallied 5,130 points, 1,803 assists, and 2,267 rebounds in seven seasons (1986?1993). Ehlo is perhaps best remembered for being the victim of one of Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan’s greatest performances. On May 7, 1989, Ehlo, then a Cavalier, was defending Jordan when he made “The Shot”, the legendary series-clinching jumper in the first round of the NBA Playoffs in front of a Cleveland home crowd. What is perhaps forgotten was that Ehlo had a stellar game with 24 points on a sprained ankle and was usually one of the better defenders on the Cavs.

Ehlo spent the second half of his career with the Atlanta Hawks as Steve Smith’s backup. Before the 1996?97 season, he signed with the Seattle SuperSonics, and was used sparingly. Ehlo was on one NBA team that made the finals, the 1985?86 Rockets, who lost the series 4?2 to the Boston Celtics.

Greg Oden with the Uncertainty

Greg oden finally decide surgical procedure for lap. This surgical procedure is little strange at this time.  Honestly speak, Greg oden is perfect player but every time he get disappointed with his body.  In actually Greg Oden is the person who is very well-groomed. Finally Greg oden decides for surgical procedure. It is actually not good news.
What is next?
One thing is still excitement for all of us, what is occurring next?
One more bad news coming out from NBA, team will not provide expansion to Greg oden, and team will go with rookies.  Greg oden is free representative for this summer. There are two great possibilities for Greg oden at this scene.  At same time rookies get good opportunity and he has chance for achieve something.  Greg oden will not be a free representative, because Poland is in planning for the same.
Poland manager already make necessary statement regarding the same. They will try for making Mr. Greg oden to be restricted.
Is he restricted?
Suppose if Mr. Greg oden is not restricted, then he is a free representative, he has rights to play and that thing is in favor of him.  It is suppose one of the reasons which force Poland manager for making some offer for Mr. Greg Oden.
Same time Mr. Oden is also thinking about good offer, if he is became free representative then they will get nine million dollars as general picks. He will get this because; he is earlier No.1 monstrous around.
Bounce back is possible
Cretin people think that there is a possibility of bounce back too. There are lots of example of previous players, who have double micro fracture surgical procedure and they made good comeback. There is some good but strange example that some player of them also plays more than 70 games after surgical procedure. It is good chance for bounce back for Mr. Greg oden.
So at this point we keep finger crossed, no one knows which miracle will happen, and all type possibility is same.  Greg Oden not discussed much with media at this stage. So very uncertainty on this issue, It is little bad news for Greg fan after hearing that he got injured, and they are wishing that he will make good comeback.
