Watch: Greg Oden Discusses Life After Basketball, Battling Depression

Former NBA center Greg Oden recently discussed life following his basketball career and dealing with depression.

The former No. 1 pick had his career derailed by a right knee ailment which required microfracture surgery. Oden sat out the entire 2007-08 season after the Portland Trail Blazers drafted him. He played in parts of each of the next two seasons, but did not play in the league for three years. He returned to the NBA during the 2013-14 season, when he played in 23 games with the Heat.

Oden's career ended after that. He finished with 105 total appearances.
