Quotes from Gerald Green

Scoring is easy for me.

If I could palm a ball I probably could have more dunks than I have in my career, but I still can get the job done.

Some days, I'm going to miss shots; some days, I'm not.

I'm not afraid to take big shots. I'm not afraid to take any type of shots.

I want to show people that I'm not what everybody thought I was.

I'm never going to stop because I had a bad game. I'm never going to stop because somebody thinks that I can't do something. I'm going to always play the way I feel I should play, because I wouldn't have got to here if I felt like I couldn't.

I'm trying to go to the playoffs. That's my goal. Everything else is going to fall in place.
