Fun article with some good GN quotes. Also quotes from Buddy, Denzel Valentine, and Malcom Brogdon.

Georges section if you want to skip the others:

The best advice I'd give is that through all the adversity, and you are going to face plenty throughout your career, keep your head down and have a vision. I don't know if my vision was big enough when I got here. I didn't even think I saw myself as being able to accomplish some of the things I have here. Don't shortchange yourself and aim big.I was a big, chubby kid, and I wish I had realized earlier how important it is to watch what you put in your body. I just wish I had been more aware back then, but I think you come in from high school and don't know better. At least I didn't.
I also wish I had known not to run my mouth quite as much. I took a couple of licks in the locker room. I shouldn't have talked as much trash as I did because I hadn't proven anything. Melvin [Ejim] was one of the older guys on the team, and I'll never forget it. I was barking at him during practice, and he put me in a headlock, put me to the ground, and that's the last time I ever talked trash to him.

Yeah. If Ejim is mad at you, you probably did something wrong. Cool quotes and good advice from Georges.
 
That's hilarious. I could see Kane doing that. My fav "It's gonna be a long one, freshman".
 
Wow! Ejim put Georges in a headlock...funny! I can see it happening, too. Georges is right - his mouth DOES get ahead of his brain occasionally. Melvin certainly put him in his place. :)

Melvin was always like that. Wasn't he the one that beamed Jordan Riley in the head with a ball for not practicing hard. I also remember in games when he would get ****** and go after a guy. Can't remember who we were playing but he got ****** at a player a timeout was called and immediately after the timeout we went right out after the player and got a technical. I miss that guy. Awesome.
 
That Melvin attitude may be something we have been missing the last two years.

Thanks OP.
