A biography for Gerald Greenhasn’t been written yet.
“I know this sounds arrogant or cocky or like I'm selling myself, but even on the court now, I don't think anybody can stop me. I just have that much confidence.”
“I do intend to achieve my education goals and obtain my college degree through distance programs.”
“I don't want to just shoot 3s. I'm not that type of player.”
“I think I did that in my career, in Boston and Miami, being ready to play and at the same time when your number is not called, be ready to support your teammates, go out and be productive while not playing.”
“I'm never going to stop because I had a bad game. I'm never going to stop because somebody thinks that I can't do something. I'm going to always play the way I feel I should play, because I wouldn't have got to here if I felt like I couldn't.”
“I've been trying to figure out what mistakes I'm making defensively as far as help defensive stuff.”
“At the end of the day, I'm a professional. I've got to continue to work hard.”
“Obviously I haven't been shooting the ball as well as I want to, so I just try to take it to the basket and be aggressive and try to make a play.”
“Once you give up, you know you're done.”
“I have vets like Antoine Walker, Greg Buckner, Mark Madsen, and Michael Doleac who keep me motivated to want to get better.”
“I'll never be in a dunk contest again. I don't ever want to be a part of it.”
“For a long time, I played for me, for my career.”
“I used to always hide my hand, I still do. I don't really like talking about it. Sometimes I still hide it and not even realize that I'm doing it.”
“So, I just always try to prepare myself like I'm going to play even when I wasn't going to play. And when I wasn't playing, my thing is, I was always enjoying the team's success, always enjoying somebody else's success.”
“I'm just getting a lot more opportunity than I got my second year in Phoenix. Here defensively with the Heat, I'm on a lot more tough defensive assignments. They trust me.”
“Not a day goes by that I don't think about my finger, but I don't really miss it.”
“My son goes around shooting the basketball saying, 'Isaiah Thomas!'”
“At times I was like, 'I'm too tired. I don't want to work out today.' I've been thinking about those moments. Looking back at the mistakes I did make, I wish I could do better.”
“I never failed a class. Never.”
“I go to Milwaukee, I get cut, that really put a funk in me. I'm like, 'Man, it's over for me. I can't even make it in training camp now?'”
