Gerald Green Interview

[trelvis tha thrilla]

Just wanted to post this on here for my Gerald Green and Mavs fans.

I got the chance to interview Gerald Green this afternoon and he spoke to me about his playing time, hot dogs, the NCAA tournament, and his choice of music.

The full interview is about 5 minutes. Check out the full story on my blog at http://angrytrey.blogspot.com

[freakydestroyer]

If he actually knew how to playa nd take advantage of his athleticism he would be a beast.

half the time he looks lost.

[nycknicks105]

Dude needs to go to a better system. He is probably one of the more gifted athletic players in the NBA.

Where was this? I don't recall his mug being all over anywhere. In fact his agent had a problem trying to lock down a shoe deal for him coming into the Lso he certainly wasn't that big of a deal and he ended up being a MID first round pick.

Any Mavs fans explain why he fell out of the rotation? He was doing his thing in the beginning of the season and then just started racking up DNPs.

 

[guillermo gutierez]

2nd time i heard of him was when he got traded.


3rd time i heard of him was in this thread.

For the longest time now the Mavericks have had a bunch of wing players, none of which clearly distinguished themselves than the others. Gerald isa liability on defense, and if he's not knocking down shots or catching oops, he's not really doing much else. Don't ask me why JJ Barea playsthen, but most likely because the lack of depth. The games have been a lot more important, every game counts, and Antoine Wright, Josh Howard, and Brandon Basstake up majority of the minutes @ Forward behind Dirk. There aren't many times I'd want GG in the game to be honest. Wright is better than GG, he maynot be as great offensively, he is clumsy in the paint, but he can knock down shots, he can go through the transition well, but the main thing is that he canplay defense, and puts forth an effort. GG just doesn't have the drive.

One Dallas reporter was talking about how you always see Brandon Bass working on his fundamentals and what not before every game, then mentioned how GeraldGreen is wasting whatever kind of talent he has.


Basically, Antoine Wright is better than GG, and there's only so many spots behind Josh Howard, and now the emergance of James Singleton as an awesomebench player, GG isn't going to get any shine in Dallas as long as Singleton, Wright, and Bass are on Dallas.

i think that was Jeff Van Gundy during the Sunday Laker game a week + ago.
or maybe he got it from a Dallas reporter.

anyways good look on the interview. if anything it makes the Gerald Green stans hopeful that he is improving. in reality, maybe not as much as he thinks he is.

Jeff Van Gundy said the same thing during a game.

I personally had never heard of him until the dunk contest, and there was an NT thread about NBA players that look like celebs and somebody posted him andJuvie. Dudes need to learn from Harold Minor and Isaiah 'Dont call me JR' Rider, athleticism only gets you there you still have to work on your game.Alot of this has to do with the way high school coaches and scouts slurp these dudes coming out of 6th grade everthing gets handed to them they dont work foranything and they keep the same exact work ethic.

 

[trelvis tha thrilla]

It was Jeff Van Gundy who had those comments and I personally dont see it.

I am at 95% of the home practices the Mavs have and alot of the times he is the last off the court. Always staying after to do extra shooting.

At least thats what I see.

 

[japanair21]

You're right, it was JVG.

You would know better than any of us Trey, we don't have the access to the Mavericks that you do.

I just think it's just a matter of one too many wing players.

Also, way to interview the dude, kept it real chill, you weren't like Elie Seckbach or anything. Entertaining.
