| Last year we enjoyed reading Green's Rookie Diaries in Sports Illustrated. It appears that he will continue posting his Sophomore Diaries in SI this season.
I'M A VETERAN! O.K., SO MAYBE NOT A REAL VET (MOST OF THE ROOKIES ARE OLDER THAN ME), BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT FEELING THIS TIME. He discusses how John Lucas broke down his weaknesses and turned them into strength and he relates that the coaches are happy with his progress.
This summer wasn't all baskeball, though, Gerald helped his sister with her new baby and got to take a vacation.
My mom saw how burned out I was, so she suggested I take a vacation. I always said that if I could ever afford it, I'd go to Paris. So I did it. I went for a week with my girlfriend, Doris Martinez. France is a cool country -- we went sightseeing, and the Eiffel Tower is something else. Being there gave me a chance to recharge.
Now, he says it is time to get back to work. One thing he makes clear is that he really doesn't want to go back to the D-League. I know what Coach [Doc Rivers] expects of me, and the type of hard-nosed defender I need to be. I'm ready. There are good players here, and getting minutes will be tough, but if I play my game, attacking the basket and playing that lock-down defense on the perimeter, I'll be all right. Just as long as I don't have to go back to the D-League. I can't tell you how much I don't want to go back. I feel like I'm an NBA player right now. My goal is to prove that every night. [More]
