Even after so many diverse experiences in the world of professional basketball, Green understood that he had something to learn from his stint with the Defenders this season. “I feel good. I have to give a lot of credit to the Los Angeles Defenders organization and Eric Musselman as a coach. He’s a great guy developing me. I’ve learned so much being with him. He’s just done a great job with all of our bodies. Giving us rest, making sure that we get the proper sleep and the proper treatment so that our bodies can feel right. … I have dedicated myself the last two or three years to keep working on my game. I feel like my defense has gotten stronger. I feel like my jump shot is a little more consistent. I feel like I’m a smarter player than I was a couple years ago, the last time I was in the league.” HoopsWorld

“I love Russia, but it was a crazy experience for me as far as trying to learn the European game. It was so hard for me. I was just playing strictly off of talent and what I knew from the NBA. Just me being there and that experience, me being there it was unbelievable man. The people there are a little different. No English, of course, but I had fun. I feel like I got better. I feel like I came there and I left there a better person. At the end of the day, that’s what matters to me. HoopsWorld

Gerald Green is not the same kid who came out of high school in 2005 when he was a first-round pick of Boston. But he has the same type of athleticism and explosiveness so the Nets took a low risk, high reward gamble and yesterday signed the 6-foot-8 forward to a 10-day contract. “Once I came out of high school, I was a little immature. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t know how to be a professional,” said Green, who joined the team in time to practice at SMU yesterday. “I’m a totally different individual.” Coach Avery Johnson conducted a two-forward workout last week in Houston and was impressed by Green, who can help at the Nets’ injury decimated small forward spot. Green impressed — and that impression improved when he was the MVP of the NBA D-League All-Star Game in Orlando over the weekend. New York Post

The Nets have signed former NBA Slam Dunk champion Gerald Green to a 10-day contract. Green, 26, was drafted 18th overall by the Boston Celtics in 2005, straight outta high school. He won the 2007 Slam Dunk competition, but was out of the league after playing 28 games with the Mavericks in 2008-09. He was most recently with the D-Fenders of the D-League, winning the D-League All-Star MVP last week. New York Daily News

Terrence Williams is largely headed the way of Gerald Green. An exciting young talent that for whatever reason can't find time on the floor, mostly attributable to attitude and basketball intelligence reasons. But he's entertaining every second of it. For example, take this video taken from this weekend at one of the Pro-Ams. There are dunks, we've seen those. And there are celebrations. And then there's this. CBSSports.com
