They'll touch you and look at your skin to see if it's paint. I'm not playing. All Russia is not like that. You've got your big cities like Moscow, St. Petersburg. Some cities understand that there are black people. They do exist. But the smaller cities, the little villages, they've never seen it.

Gerald Green

I'm just trying to look at everything as positive as I can to keep me motivated.

Gerald Green

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.

Gerald Green

All I've been doing is shooting in my driveway and playing one-on-one with my Rottweiler.

Gerald Green

Instead of me going out and having eight shot attempts with six 3s, let me see if I can have just four 3s and attack the basket and try to get fouls and rebound better.

Gerald Green

The teachers told me I wouldn't amount to anything because I was a bad kid. But I knew I could still hoop.

Gerald Green

I'm me. I'm not into to all that GQ fashion.

Gerald Green

When I signed with the Rockets, I just kind of felt like that was my calling card.

Gerald Green

I want to retire here, man. The Suns gave me an opportunity to revive myself and why would I want to go anywhere?

Gerald Green

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.

Gerald Green

I try to tell young guys - like, if I see a young guy pressing, I try to tell him to relax and play your game.

Gerald Green

I think in Phoenix Phoenix is like the run and gun team. We used to do a drill where we'd try to score in the first seven seconds. We used to do that in practice.

Gerald Green

I want to be that guy who stops players.

Gerald Green

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.

Gerald Green

Anybody tells me I get a chance to rep Houston, I'm gonna rep it proud. It's all I've been wanting to do forever.

Gerald Green

I think I have the ability to be athletic on both ends of the floor, so I just need to go out there and play with a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm.

Gerald Green

A lot of times you get a good opportunity and it never comes again.

Gerald Green

I never failed a class. Never.

Gerald Green

I didn't understand a winning atmosphere until I got to Dallas.

Gerald Green

They'll touch you and look at your skin to see if it's paint. I'm not playing. All Russia is not like that. You've got your big cities like Moscow, St. Petersburg. Some cities understand that there are black people. They do exist. But the smaller cities, the little villages, they've never seen it.

Gerald Green

If I could palm a ball I probably could have more dunks than I have in my career, but I still can get the job done.
