The folks at ESPN are not interested in "the very concept of sport." They are very interested in the business of sport, the businesses that crop up around it (gambling, sports bars, theme restaurants, themed clothing, magazines, etc.), and so far as I can tell not much else.
Also, there is no Santa Claus.
This isn't the first time I've heard of someone at ESPN suggesting with the appearance of seriousness the idea that a team should tank the remainder of a season to skim the cream off a thin draft. And I haven't paid much attention to Greg Oden, but he is apparently this year's LeBron James, or something like that.
