Gerald Green "They messed up my video"

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Green, the second-youngest player on the roster, wasn't ready to focus too tightly on Saturday's event. Not on Monday afternoon, anyway. But he is a student of the skill. He knows enough about the old days to be able to discuss the nuances between Dr. J's and Michael Jordan's famous dunks from the free-throw line. He thinks Dr. J's was better, because his toe didn't touch the line.

Green has spent some time after recent Wolves practices working on his dunks. He has solicited advice from his friends, family (particularly his brother) and teammates to get ready.

"He's the closest thing to Vince Carter, I think, that there is as far as jumping ability," said Rashad McCants, who has spent time helping Green prepare. "I talk to him about creativity. Not just going in high, but trying to do something wild to incite the crowd. You have to be animated. You have to be something of a character, when you're doing things like that."

Saturday, Green will go up against Dwight Howard, Rudy Gay and Jamario Moon. All four have videos on YouTube.com and on NBA.com in advance of the competition.

But Green didn't even want to talk about that. Seems he wasn't thrilled with the job the crew did shooting his video. His best dunk wasn't filmed right, for example.

"They messed up my video," Green said. "They made it seem like I was kind of being too arrogant or something. They messed it all up. But it doesn't really matter."</div>
