Thoroughly humiliated Portland Trailblazers star Greg Oden has released a statement apologizing to his fans and employers after graphic images of his odd shaped peen surfaced online yesterday.

Mr. Oden blamed the embarrassing leak on an ex-girlfriend whom he sent the pics to about 1½ years ago. Oden, who is only 21, became aware of the potentially damaging leak after a friend told him the pics were making the rounds on all the blogs.

“I would like to apologize to everybody: Portland, the fans, the organization,” Oden told reporters at the Blazers practice facility. “It was very embarrassing.”
