PORTLAND, Ore. -- Greg Oden decided not to attend All-Star Weekend because just watching struck him as depressing.

New Blazer Greg Oden.

But the injured Number One draft pick has been keeping up with his rehab and competing with teammate Sergio Rodriguez for a team record -- albeit an unofficial one.

Oden wrote in his blog that they have a thing going on to see who can get the most workouts in a month.

Last month Rodrigues broke Joel Pryzbillas' record of 32 workouts and had 33.

So Oden says this month he made it his mission to break that in 28 days.

Oden, who underwent microfracture knee surgery before the season, is sitting out the year.
