I don't know if this is thread worthy or not, but here's GG's first dunk as a Houston Rocket.

does anyone know what they meant by "they wanted the cupcake"?
other than the obvious dunk contest meaning?

anyone who watched the game on tv- did they show a group of people holding the cupcake sign before this?

at this point i don't think we can go back, his nickname WILL have something to do with "cupcakes"... or "cupcake".

Cupcake sounds good to me. Better than Dwyane "Pookie" Wade.

Oh and just FYI, in Filipino "pookie" or more accurately "puki" literally means pu$$y.

Thanks batkins I was just looking for this. I think Rick Adelman and his coaching staff are gonna turn this kid into something special. Gerald Green has all the tools he just has to put it all together.

I dont really like Green after what he did in the Slam Dunk Contest. Doing the same dunk except without shoes. How lame was that? Plus he signed the shoes and put it on the judges table and one of the judges just knocked it down. HAHA.

You don't like him for what he did in the slam dunk contest? LOL, you must really hate Chris Anderson for what he did that one year than.
