In 1998 Odom was rumored to be interested in a young German player - but then everyone else including Don and Donnie Nelson started paying attention and the rest is history

Odom did land another Euro named Songaila (he talks about Dirk in here)

Songaila: Obviously he ended up with ridiculous numbers, so after the game there was a lot of hype that the guy was going to be a really good player. I don't think anybody thought that he was going to be that good.

Harrington: We didn't know how to guard him. We had never seen him before. I hadn't heard of him until during the game. I had never heard of him, but I knew about him after the game. That's what's up.
