    Sorry Clutch. I know there is a trade sticky, but felt these poignant comments need to be highlighted.

    Apparently, V-Span is still making noise.

    :D

    BTW ...I LOVE JVG


    http://blogs.chron.com/franblinebury/2007/02/its_all_greek_to_them.html

    It's All Greek to Them

    If this keeps up, the Rockets are going to be able to put their own Greek national basketball team on the court. The Rockets now have every Greek citizen currently playing in the NBA on their roster.

    "It will give someone for Billy to b**** to, so that will be good," said Jeff Van Gundy. "We'll just sit him right over there and Billy can b**** to him about how he's getting screwed. That will be good."

    When he was informed that nobody in downtown Athens was erecting statues to him these days, JVG smiled and said, "I like Billy a lot more than they like me."

    I'm kinda shocked about these comments. A little immature on Gundy's part..but nonetheless funny

    JVG rules. I like it.

    I hope Vspan grows mentally. JVG is giving him all he can handle.

    Well, Van Gundy should understand all that. After all, he's got Charlie Ward.

    ;)

    hoping that v-span and van gundy have a relationship where they can joke about things like this. as in maybe the media reports got blown out of proportion, otherwise I would assume someone's days on this team are numbered.

    uh...

    I think VSpan is a moron but I'm not sure how this is going to help the team. Its starting to sound personal.

    One of the best quotes of all time. Seriously.

    I think this is JVG taking a jab at media sensationalism, but maybe he just really hates Billy!

    I love JVG, and his quotes are sometimes classic, but this time... :(

    I hope this doesn't put any more strain on their relationship. I'm rooting for VSPAN, I hope he develops into something great for this team.

    I can imagine the conversation:

    Jake: Yo how is it going Billy.

    Billy: Nothing much man, just warming the bench. Back at home I use to be the equivalent of T-mac. I use to be praised, and I was really good. T-mac has nothing on me back at home, in fact I'm better than him.

    Jake: Really? Man, this is interesting tend with us Greece players. I use to be Yao Ming back at home, but now I am mostly a bench warmer.

    Billy: We'd probably make the best one-two punch in the NBA, Jeff just has to give us a chance to play. Basketball is basketball.

    Jake: I agree man. I wonder how that guy the Clippers is going to do, you know the 2nd rounder that's from Greece that is tearing it up over there.

    Billy: Oh yeah I know who you are talking about, Sofos. Yeah man, that guy is Shaquille Oneal back at home. To bad when he comes to the states, he'll just be another guy warming the bench.

    Together: Viva la Greece :p.

    Either he's really joking, or Vspan's time as a rocket is finished.

    Doesn't sound like JVG, but what JVG is saying, is probably true.

    lol, van gundy quote of the year, part 3?

    it sounds like typical van gundy humor. more likely that him and spanoulis have talked and he's comfortable to joke about it, then it being something malicious.

    either way, this is classic.

    Amazing to hear JVG say something like this in a public forum after everything seemed to have settle down.

    Obviously VSpan is still making noise, will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next week or so.

    I agree. I think jvg is just playing with the media. who knows what their relationship is really like ever since that interview billy gave. I would guess it is relatively good since he came out and made a comment like this and never made one this blunt with a guy like bonzi....ya know what I mean?
