Greivis Vasquez Is an Idiot
By Chris Mottram | January 23, 2009
Greivis Vasquez was part of a team that won a game once at Cameron Indoor. Yeah, it was two years ago. He scored 13 points. And you know what this means? He owns that MF’er:
“That’s my house,” the junior guard said. “I love going in there. It’s going to be fun.”
Sigh. Is there any player, ever, whose swagger was more disproportionate to his skill? If Greivis was 1/10th as good as he thinks he is, he’d be an All-American. As it is, he’s just a mediocre guard on a mediocre team, with a penchant for doing more harm than good for his own squad. I really don’t think I’ve ever disliked a player on one of my own teams more than I do Vasquez. (Albert Belle snub alert.)
Luckily, Gary Williams was there to save my spirits and lay the sarcasm on pretty thick:
[Two years ago Vasquez] was being taunted in Spanish by Duke fans.
“They’re very smart down smart down there,” Williams quipped. “They figure Greivis is from Venezuela, so that means he knows Spanish. It’s amazing.”
Gary would also like to remind you that Duke hasn’t won a National Championship since ‘01.
(FYI, the game vs. Duke is Saturday at Noon on ESPN.)

Paul Lo Duca snub alert.

He doesn’t count. I never considered him a part of the Nationals. He was just using the clubhouse as temporary housing while passing through.
Also, fuck that guy.

Hello! No one will ever be worse than Deion Sanders. Unless, of course, Vinny goes and gets T.O. which would result in me hating the Skins.
Can’t wait to see Greveis get into it with the Dukies. Any chance he dives into the stands and gets into a wrestling match like in the Wake/Clemson game?

Fuck Paul Lo Duca.

I’d like to throw Albert Connel and Stanley “Sheriff” Richards into the hat.

Oh, and Shar Pourdanish too.

Is it wrong I didnt pull for Team USA in the Olympics because “My Coach Too” ran the squad?

Someone needs to let Gary’s squad know that turnovers don’t count for any points. It’s one (terrible) thing to lose to the fucking wasps because they play a better game. It’s a whole different level of terrible if we cough up the ball every trip down the court. FUCK DUKE!!!!

I dont remember much of what just happened officer. I just woke up in a puddle of my own vomit and feces.

In Greivis’ defense: His only two games at Cameron before this weekends’ disaster were
Game 1: 13 points, Win, Freshman
Game 2: 25 points, loss, Sophomore.
So it was actually completely accurate. He did own Cameron and now he doesn’t.

Oh yea and he had 7 assists and 8 boards in the 25 point loss. So yea an almost triple double is not bad at Cameron even in a loss.

I love Vasquez, should be an all-american
