Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 1781211, member: 297"] Yeah, playing like that is beneath Green's talent, for sure. I think it's part of his personality though to just be a chippy guy like that. On the one hand you'd like to say he should just knock it off, but professional athletes are often wired differently. Maybe he's a uniquely versatile talent because his personality is that way? Anderson Varejao said that Delly has to play the way he does because it's the only way he can stay in the NBA. So what's worse? A talented player that's somewhat dirty, or a borderline talent that's somewhat dirty? As I don't love a ton of dirtiness in the game, to me the marginal talent is worse. If that's what he brings to the table, I don't want it and don't want to see it. At least with the more talented player you get a lot of other things and the dirtiness is just a component of their game, not the primary thing they bring to the table. [/QUOTE]
