Jay Jensen on GO, pre-season...

by champs2011 on Feb 26, 2009 10:19 PM PST

For those questioning Greg's heart, or his work ethic, or his desire to become a great, look at this quote from Jay Jensen, circa 8/7/08:

"I haven't seen Greg play basketball yet, but as far as work ethic, he is right up there with Scottie Pippen, Detlef Schrempf and Damon Stoudamire as the best I've seen,'' Jensen said. "He's a hard worker, very determined.''

Food for thought.

Awesome quote

Man Jay Jensen has been with this team forever. I mean I remember him from the late 80s.

There won't be clean officiating in the NBA until David Stern is forcibly removed by the US Congress in 2013 for fixing games.

He needs to write a book about the early 2000s blazers...

and call it “Hammies, Hash and Heartbreak.”

Want more aggressiveness? Try less Baylesslessness.

Same work ethic as Damon?

This proves he is a stoner.

I don't remember Damon ever being credited as a hard worker

But that’s good to hear.

Damon was considered a very hard worker in practice

His problems were a) he liked to shot too much sometimes, and would dribble out the clock, b) he was too small to guard a lot of guys he went against, and c) he liked hippie lettuce to the point of addiction.

But putting in the hours in practice was never a Damon problem.

There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness.
