    JVG lovers' reaction in this thread is much funnier than JVG's quote.

    Classless? It's a freakin' joke. I have a feeling if JVG said this to some other player like Rafer or JL3, it wouldn't be so classless. Oh, but when it's V-Span, it's classless and mean. C'mon ladies, NBA players and coaches make fun of each other all the time. It's a way to have fun with all the seriousness involved in the NBA.

    as much as I've been dogging JVG this year, i find it funny. The one thing you can count him to do every day is to be honest--brutal or not.

    JVG haters' reactions are even funnier. Its a freaking joke. And don't forget that Billy started any nonsense that is going on by complaining to the media. I think he deserves a little bit of razzing about it.

    Joking or not, JVG definitely had a point which some people on here seem to be missing. The truth is to get another Greek player WOULD help Billy settle in more easily. If you think about it, he came over all the way from Greece all by himself and the treatment he's been getting from the Rockets team and fans is far from satisfying compared to that in Greece. He's definitely felt lonely both physically and psychologically. Now the acquirement of another Greek player would surely make things easier for him which will ultimately benefit the team, which could've been one of the main reasons behind this trade, plus Padgett for Jake in itself is not a bad deal, either. So there.

    Does Jake play for the Greek Olympic team?? I hope VSpan knows that JVG is just kidding around even it has rough edge to his comments. I hope this motivates VSpan to work hard to earn his minutes instead of talking to the media.

    There's kidding because we're friends-haha, then there is kidding with an edge and meanness underneath the surface. For a coach to say this about a player is more like the second, in my opinion. Hopefully this culmination of the centuries of simmering Greek-Dutch tension does not tear this team apart.

    Jake has played for the Greek national team and he's always being considered by the Greek nt coach and invited to nt training camps. That said he hasn't played there the last couple of years because of competition --other centers have developed and taken up his post.

    As far as I'm concerned, I've already written Spanoulis off in my mind as a contributing player on this team. It's possible the guy may be productive someday, but on a good team like the Rockets, there just isn't enough minutes for him to develop. So, for that reason, because I doubt we will ever need to count on Billy-Mac for anything, I find these JVG comments freaking hilarious.

    JVG like Parcells... What a joke! JVG is more like SickoCells... he has 2 r****ded genes in his brain that make him vomit out stupid comments for no apparent reason.

    And to think I was starting to accept the guy. Yeah he is doing a good job this year but why can't he just shutup and coach. His continuous round of stupid comments just make him so unacceptable to me and apparently to management (hence the non extension). Oh by the way he is obviously not behind this trade.

    Not as mean as the jokes from Van Gundy about Alston's poor shooting.

    Some of you guys are way too sensitive. I thought it was pretty funny myself. And the guy brought it on himself anyway.
