<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">For Willie Green, returning to the NBA seven months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament was something of a statement. In effect, Green wanted to demonstrate that while he may have been as advanced, physically, as he expects to be by the start of training camp in October, he was far enough along to contribute at the NBA level barely half a year after major knee surgery. ?I think it was a combination of showing I can come back from this and mentally, growing my confidence,? Green said. ?A lot of people wrote me off like I wasn't going to be able to come back this year. I showed that even though I wasn't 100 percent, I could get back and be productive. That was my whole thing.? The experience taught him a great deal about the importance of patience, resolve and faith. He also learned a practical lesson ? 5-on-5 scrimmaging will be rare in 2006 after he hurt his knee playing summer league ball last July in his native Detroit, costing him a five-year, $17 million contract. </div> <div align="center"> Source</div>
i hope the sixers resign willie in the off season. he showed a lot of heart last season, coming off that nasty injury to be one of our best players off the bench. ive always liked willie, and i think he has the potential to be a solid role player in the league someday. hes shown in the 04/05 season that he has the ability to control the game and take over. he has the ability to attack the basket and score, all he has to do is work more on his jumper. anyways, i view him as allen iverson 2.0. i wonder what a duo of louis williams and willie green will be like in the future?
