Gerald Green dunk-bos vs raps

[J@3]

anyone want to link me to these measurements?

And Jae, why do you hate him? Just curious....

Before the draft he was saying all of the right things, making himself look like a mature grounded guy who just wanted to work hard and play well. I actually really liked him because of his comments and whatever. Going on about how he doesn't care where he's drafted, he'll be happy to be picked etc.

So he gets picked 18th or whatever, cries (literally), sent to the D-League and his parents whinge about that and now everytime he throws down a dunk he starts flexing and screaming like he's the greatest player to ever hit the floor... I'm just not a fan of it, since it appears all the pre-draft stuff was complete garbage in an effort to get a higher draft position.

makes fun of his 4-fingers

Is giving someone "the finger" possible if you only have four fingers, so no middle finger to show?

I'd prefer Green show emotion after a play like a dunk than just run back to his bench. He was getting no playing time, to him he was proving the coaching staff should give him a longer look. I love Green for the same reason everyone else seems to hate him, I love that emotion and competitiveness, it's what will make him a great player someday in my mind.

Everyone complains about him dunking on the Raptors that first time as being classless. But is what Pape Sow and what some of you are planning on doing any better? Way to make fun of an issue he's very insecure about. That's why after his 2nd Toronto dunk he did the little jersey pop, Sow had disrespected him worse than he had disrespected the Raptors, a fan in the crowd was making the shocker symbol, and he had been hearing things from the media all week about how what he did was disrespectful. It was his way of telling everyone to get used to him.

He still says all the right things by the way...And Green made it clear he wasn't going to enter the draft unless he had a lottery promise, which apparently fell through.

The cocky bastard just should've been drafted by the Knicks, he'd "fit" right in. That's my word.

Emotion doesn't always equal competititveness. To a Celtics fan it probably does, but it's blindly obvious in Green's case it equals ego, and too much of it.

yeah, i remember seeing him crying at the Draft. I was like "those better be tears of joy, bitch!"





























They weren't.

[Repole]

He didn't cry. His eyes were getting watery, and you could see how dissapointed he was, but he never broke into this big cry or anything. And wouldn't you be a tad upset if you realized your agent telling you not to workout against martell webster just cost you upwards of 4 million dollars?

And who says ego is a bad thing?

[J@3]

Kobe Bryant is universally hated by everyone because of his ego. If this kid is half decent in his career he will surpass that and keep running.

Kobe Bryant is universally hated by everyone because of his ego.

That's why he get's the 2nd most all-star votes in the country?

[Its_asdf]

Does Kobe deserve to be on the all-star team? Yes.

Does everyone else peg him as a player with a huge ego? Definitely.

Heck, I voted for Kobe for the All-star game, but I don't necessarily like him (nor hate him for that matter).

Do you actually think he's liked by people generally?

[CuhRazy]

Well, if he gets that many all star votes, he can't be too disliked. But off the court, yes, he's disliked a lot.

[J@3]

That's what I was referring to.

Green is a legit 6'8 by the way, I dont know where that 6'6 number was gotten, but it's simply wrong.

It's like people saying Dwight Howard is a legit 7 footer - it's not correct. He's 6'9 and he admitted it himself about a month ago. Sometimes people simply look taller because they're skinny and long (T-Mac, Green, KG) or really wide (Howard). In the past years there's a trend of 6'7 SF selling themselves as being 6'9 - Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Granger,...
