No problem, bro.
Yeah, I also feel that Green is going to be a star. Just watching his focus on the court tells you how fierce a competitor he is. But if he had no skills, all the focus in the world wouldn't do him any good. But fortunately, Green shows a lot of unharnessed skills just waiting to be deveoped. Skills and focus are a deadly combination.
Just watching him in his rookie year, he was doing all these moves on the fly, making it up as he goes. Spinning, putting up floaters, pivoting into the lane, driving baseline, etc. He shows so much early star potential.

Having watched KG, Kobe Lewis and T-Mac ans rooks, They didn't show what Gerald showed the last 10 games or so.
Everyone can see his physical gifts, it's his determination and confidence that I see that makes him special.
From the first time seeing him in the McDonalds All-Star game and dunk competition, I said to my wife, "Why can't the C's get a guy like THAT in the draft?" I told her that he would be a stud.
I remember listening to Jayson Williams call the game andhe was just in awe of his talent. If you saw the game D, what did you think of the left handed dunk from the baseline AFTER he was fouled, he SWITHCED hands and still threw it down. Insane athlete.
He is going to be VERY special.
Please Danny, DO NOT TRADE G MONEY!!

Right. All the good ones had that confidence, or what some call moxie. Gerald has got it. He acted like he belonged on the court with these star players. That game against Philly, he was guarding Iverson and AI could not score on him (it was only a few possessions, but AI went right at him).
You'd think that a rookie would be awestruck being on the same floor as Vince Carter and AI, but Green was up to the challenge and did not seem like a scared little kid. He had his game face on and he knocked down tough shots.
And that Knicks game where he had 2 throw down baseline dunks was classic.

Sigh!
Haven't these Allen Iverson rumors died down yet?
I am sick of reading about them already.
I don't want the Question Mark here!

Would you trade MJ?
Maybe if I can get Duncan, or a fully healthy and tested Amare, or a KG, but only if I can send back Raef and Wally. Mayyyybe for Oden some day.
