Jeff Green isn't a role player.. How can a guy who makes more than $10million a year be a role player? grin

He was the 3rd option at Oklahoma behind Durant and Westbrook before he got traded to the Celtics.
Money isn't everything. He's still a passive player.

All these players are average . I wonder when we'll have a player in the mould of Hakeen "the dream" Olajuwon or Emeka Okafor.[/quote

Jeff Green is far better than Emeka Okafor...

Al Farooq and Ekpe Udoh are more talented than him..

Emeka Okafor is stiff and not athletic at all.

the problem was " The Nigerians couldnt convert free throws - they lost potential 12 points in the whole game whilst the lits scored every one of theirs - it could have been very close game

He's not a passive player - the boy is good..

He isn't one of the best but definitely a B grade player..

Myopic conclusion!

If China or India wallops Brazil in a world cup football match, history will record it as a big "upset". . Nobody is 'thrashing' anybody here. The better side with the better understanding of the game won. It begins and ends there.

Three more games to go - we just need two wins to qualify for the next stage.

I believe in these guys, the coach just need to find the right rotation..

Their defense was great today - but they were limited offensively..

Great game!!

Go D'tigers!! cool

he is still a role player. he was the third option out of 5 in a small market team. and as soon as they got the chance to get new talent, they shipped him out fast. he is one of those guys with contracts that some people find extraordinarily gobsmacking. look in the list of overrated contracts you will see joe johnson of atlanta, jeff green and rashad lewis.

Disappointing, but hopefully they play better in the next games.

Smoothcrimson: The teams sucks because of no team spirit. The core of the team need to be Nigerians in Nigeria and not Nigerian-Americans.
But one of ur bro's jst said Ghana is also going to search for Ghanian b'ballers in the diasporal, so what will you call them....?

How do grade players? Joe Johnson and Jeff Green shouldn't be on that list.. undecided Rashad Lewis is another story entirely..

Being a 3rd option in a team with Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, and James Harden isn't a bad thing - bear in mind that Durant, Westbrook, and Harden are in the USA team at this olympics - and Ibaka is playing for spain..

They shipped him out because they needed size, and not because he was a role player..

If he was rubbish, I doubt Celtics would've handed him a new contract last month - despite not playing at all last season.

he wasnt a third option. he was a 4th option http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1254958-nba-free-agency-2012-ranking-4-most-overrated-free-agents-who-have-signed/page/2

the list i gave was the list of overrated salaries. my point being you dont judge a player by salary. at least not all players anyway.

Wait a minute. Is Nigeria really playing America and Argentina next?

Those are two very good teams. undecided I think Nigeria will have a chance against Argentina though.

U beta stop dreaming, if its possible, i will advice the boys to run away, cos na USA own go worse pass, we can still get a close match against ARG, lets say 15-20 points gap...

That article is rubbish.. He was a 3rd option and a STARTER at Oklahoma - Harden was the 6th man..

The fool who wrote the article is a hater!!

How come he didn't write an article about the most overrated player ever, Kevin Love? The guy is a hater!!

Its a good thing that we feel bad losing to Lithuania. We're ranked 21st, they're ranked 4th. I just pray we can keep the scores low against USA and Argentina. France we can beat. That should be our ticket to quarter finals
Re: Nigeria Vs Lithuania Olympics Basketball 2012 ( 53 - 72) On Tuesday 31st July by vislabraye(m): 4:42pm On Jul 31, 2012
Its difficult to satisfy every1. These guys beat Greece to qualify and also Tunisia yet I hear people blasting them.
