Gerald Johnson was one of the bench warmers in Syracuse. But he tried to test himself at NBA Summer League. One of his biggest dreams is to become a NBA all-star but untill now it doesn't seem to be possibe. He works very hard to improve his game. He got the oportunity to play for Cleveland Cavaliers in NBA Summer League. He's also one of the best shooters ever in Syracuse.

[Asder]

The First game in the summer league was against LA Clippers whitch Cavs lost 76-62. Gerald played 10 minutes, he had 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks with 3-11 shooting form the fieald and 0-3 from beyond the arc.
Althoug Gerald didn't shoot very well he was one of the most important player on Cavs squad.

[Asder]

Second game in the summer league was much better for G.Johnson but not for Cavs they lost their second straight. Gerald played 17 minutes and had 18 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and a block but Gerald also had 3 turnovers. He took 14 shots and made 8 of them. But poor shooting of 3 pointers still continiued, he shot 1-4 behind the 3pt line.

[Martti.]

Two all right games, although getting an NBA contract could be tough.

(Edu sellega!)

Cavs also lost theri third game 55-50 against Bulls. Gerald played 11 minutes, had 11 points, 4 rebounds and an assist. He shot 6-15 from the field and 1-2 from 3.
After the game Gerald Johnson met with a newspaper reporter Jane Greene who was very intrested in young Gerald.
Jane: You are one of the most important players on your Summer League team but you didn't get much playing time at Syracuse how did this happen?
Gerald: I'm suprised that my game so good. Well but behind it is alot of hard work and training.
J: Are any NBA teams intresed in you ?
G: Hmmm... Yes I've had some phone calls but I haven't offered a contract yet.
J: Okay I see that you dont't have any time left so I'll let you go. Thanks and see you soon again.
G: Bye

Cavs finally got theri first win 50-41 over Bobcats. Gerald had his best game so far in 14 minutes he scored 14 points, grabed 6 rebounds, had 4 steals, a block and 2 assists. He shot 6-8 from the fieald and 1-1 from 3 pt line.

Gerald suffered an injury at the start of summer leagua game against Miami Heat. When 30 seconds was played Gerald broke through Miami defense and was made a hard foul under the basked. Gerald strained his knee. And couldn't continiue Summer League but fortunately he was invited to Milwaukee Bucks training camp.

NBA TV starts with their new show called "The Training camp". Where NBA veterans Chris Webber and Eric Snow take a closer look to NBA team Training camps. Today thei are visiting Milwaukee Bucks camp.

Chris: Hello! Here from Milwaukee, today we are visiting the Bucks.
Eirc: Hi! From me too.
Chris: Okay lets get going. Eric, you spent a day with white team while I had a great time with black team. So Eric tell me what did you do?
Eric: At first, when I arrived to the arena "my team" was already practising. They all knew each other and seemed to get on well. Oh, I forgot to say in white team play A.Bogut, H.Warric, L.R.Mbah a Moute, C.Delfino and L.Ridour. They also won todays game against black team. Well it's your time now Chris.
Chris: I already met with the whites yesterday. They're all very talented and can play good basketball. D.Gadzuric, E.Iliyasova, G.Johnson, C.Bell and B.Jennings play for the black team. I have to say that I spent more time with Brandon and Gerald yesterday. I found ou that they are good friends and are happy that they can play together. But about todays game: I'm extraordinary impressed about Gerald Johnson. He was absolutely dominating today. He had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals but no turnovers. He also shot extreemly well 8-10 from field 3-3 form beyond the arc. I think that Milwaukee have found themselves a unique scorer with great court vistion and quick hands.
Eric: I also watched this talented young guy and wondered why did he only played 7 minutes for Syracuse in this season...And I'm looking forward to see him playing on the Milwaukee Bucks this season.
Chris: Eric we are running out of time tell me something you'll remeber from this day.
Eric: I think you know that already Chris...
Chris: The facial from G.Johnson?
Eric: You are absolutely right. We hope to show you that crazy dunk soon. Good bye form me and see you again in two days.
Chris: Have nice evening! Next time we meet again at LA Clippers camp.

After very succsesful Training camp Gerald recived a call from Scott Skiles who wanted to meet with him at one of the best Milwaukee restourants Il Mito.

Later that day...

Gerald: Hi! coach.
Scot: Hello!
Gerald: What did you want to talk about?
Scot: Well, I think that you played GREAT in training camp and I'm very intrested in having you play on my squad.
Gerald: Me, you offer me a contract? Ohhh.. Is my dream really becoming true? Wow.. Its amazing.
Scot: Wait, wait don't hurry. Yes I'm offering you a contract.. At first you wont see much playing time but you have to train and work very hard. I see you a future key player of Bucks association.
Gerald: I'm so so so happy.That i cant say a word. But I know that I still have to work hard. I like training myself and I love basketball.
Scot: I'd like to talk about that later on but now lets continue our meals.
Gerald: Ok thats fine for me.

[Cartar]

I might follow. I think you should keep going this, after some time there probably will be some followers.

You had a pretty solid NBA debut. Box scores alone don't have much of an impact though. Try adding some pictures. Just keep this going and you will eventually get some more followers.
