As the Celtics Pursue One Title, Gerald Chases Another

With Celtics fans rightfully consumed by the boys' chase for their seventeenth banner in June, it is worth noting that one former member of the green and white will be looking to keep the pace by getting his own this coming February.

That's right, folks: According to the Timberwolves' website, Gerald Green will be returning to defend his dunk contest title at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans.

This kid shows what I don’t know about the NBA. I thought we were giving up a future all star. But after watching Travis Outlaw Wed, who has one more year in the league (doesn’t he), maybe Gerald still has a chance to be real good. What a surprise (to me) that he’s nailed to the bench on a train wreck like the Wolves.
These kids must be stupid because any good athlete can be a good defender. They all want to play and good D will get you minutes and still they don’t get it. I wonder how Gerald would be under the added example of KG and Ray. Oh well, we’ll never know.

good luck gerald- i really mean it. if ever a kid came out too early, it was you. i hope whatever it is that you are lacking to make it in the bigs isn’t terminal, because if it is you may have a nice career as a harlem globetrotter.
