Geno will be on NBATV...

Rick Kamla interviewed him last night before the game, but I did not see it nor did I see anyone whatsoever say anything about what he said last night.

He will be on in about 5 minutes. I will recap...

Jim Rome talking about T-Mac right now as well on the Jungle

 

Kamla: You just had a wor dor two with Francis, what was it?

Gino: We have been friends for a while, and he is a first-class individual

Kamla: T-Mac classy indiv as well, any thing about the boos?

Gino: Nothing affects T-Mac's way of playing, it might make him better

Kamla: When it happened to Toronto made him better and saying bring it on

Gino: He is not selfish at all like people in Orlando said, he plays with the team. And he does what is needed to win games, the W is what matters

Kamla: Yah, I love T-Mac as well, he is one of fav players, what about Rod Strickland?

Gino: Rod was one of the really better PG in the NBA, and he has moved a lot around the league, a lot of good players move around, Mark Jackson went through same thing, and it surprises me. I agree with you he is a heck of a player in his time...

Kamla: Sura has knee problems, how is he doing and is Strickland an insurance policy?

Gino: Boy, no one tougher than Sura, and he is a classy individual. HE is s great kid, a tough kid, and Boy a smart b-ball player

Kamla: Yao having a great year, I am a Yao fan, but people still get on him

Gino: Yao is still a baby, he is 23 only. It will take time. But for toughness? I think it will take him longer than I thought. I think if he gets tough he will get respect from refs and will get calls and all. He is still a LONG way to go from being a great player, but I have no doubt he will be a great player.

Kamla: Ya, I like Yao a lot, I think he is a stud, Gino thanks for joining us

I obviously rephrased a lot so I can capture the important things in the interview. I hope I gave you an idea about what Gino said. He is certainly the person I respect the most for Rockets insight

 

Ahhh, yah! May be I spelled it wrong, but I always hear them on radio calling him "Gino" or something that sounds like it.

LOL! Sorry if I missed it up
