Roy Hibbert is Infinitely More Mature Than I Am

PrintIn a recent interview with the Washington Examiner, Roy Hibbert had this to say about his former teammates who have transfered or left school early to turn pro.
"Sometimes people don't like the offenses. Sometimes people don't like the school. Sometimes they have family situations and things like that so I talk to those guys. It isn't that I only talk to the guys who are on the team. I talk to Vernon. I talk to DaJuan. I talk to Jeremiah just as much ... They're my teammates for life."
The following illustrates what Roy is trying to say:
Now before you release the hounds for my snide, crude and demeaning reaction to the Hibbert quote, I would like to say that what Roy said is exactly what I would like to hear from the big guy. He has no hard feelings towards any of those players, as they all played important roles on the 2007 Final Four team. The only reason I posted the above picture is because I thought it would be easier to have it prominently displayed on the website where I pathetically spend most of my time, as opposed to continually having to reference my bookmark to glitter-town.com to stare at the pretty and shiny colors.
The Roy quote almost makes me feel bad for calling out DaJuan, Jeremiah and Vernon here, here, here, here, here and here. Emphasis on almost.
The interview also has some interesting quotes on Roy's famous three against UConn, and how despite JT3's insistence that the play was not a fluke and that they practice those shots, it was definitely a busted play. Hibbert states:
"I seriously wake up in cold sweats still remembering the plays. I can still remember that play. Jon Wallace messed up the play against UConn, and so I had to take the three. We were supposed to run a play for him to take the last shot, but he messed it up."
Hibbert might wake up in cold sweats but I wake up with [insert wet dream reference that further proves the title of this post] because of that shot. But unfortunately, due to the Hibbert shot, we all have to watch Monroe, Vaughn and Sims try to unsuccessfully recreate the magic, every single freckin game.
Good talk.

My interpretation
Vernon didn’t like the school because he didn’t have any groupies aside from himself
Jeremiah didn’t like the offense because he sucks at basketball
DaJuan had a family situation because he had a child
It's not you, it's me.
heard the rumor while back
never confirmed
Good talk.

i think you should stick to interpreting tweets.
speaking of which, why not take a stab at austin’s latest gem involving something called a ‘Gucci voice’?
Casually.
I'm trying to spark controversy
It’s the age of sensational journalism, get with the times.
It's not you, it's me.

I was hoping it was in reference to a handbag

Radric Davis (born February 2, 1980) better known by his stage name Gucci Mane, is an American rapper and CEO of So Icey Entertainment.
He appeared on remixes of the songs “Boom Boom Pow” by Black Eyed Peas, “Obsessed” by Mariah Carey and “5 Star Chick” by Yo Gotti and made a guest appearance on Mario’s “Break Up” (he has made 17 guest appearances total in 2009). Gucci Mane’s second studio album The State vs. Radric Davis was relesead under the label Warner Bros. Records on December 8, 2009. Its first single, “Wasted” featuring Plies, was originally from Mane’s 2009 mixtape Writing on the Wall. It peaked at #36 on the Hot 100, #3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and #3 on the Rap Songs making it Gucci Mane’s most successful single to date. The second single is “Spotlight” feauring Usher. The third single is “Worst Enemy”. The fourth single is “Heavy”.
On October 2, 2009, Gucci Mane was listed at #6 on MTV’s annual Hottest MC’s In The Game list.
Legal issues:
On May 10, 2005, Davis was attacked by a group of men at a house in Decatur. Davis’ companions shot at the group, killing at least one. The corpse of one of the attackers, Henry Lee Clark III, was found later behind a nearby middle school. Davis turned himself in to police investigators on May 19, 2005 and was subsequently charged with murder. Davis claimed that the shots fired by his party were in self-defense. The DeKalb County district attorney’s office dropped the murder charge in January 2006 due to insufficient evidence. The previous October, in an unrelated matter, Davis had pleaded no contest to a charge of assault for assaulting a nightclub promoter the previous June; at the time the murder charge was dropped, he was serving a six-month prison sentence for this. Davis was released from jail in late January 2006.
In September 2008, Gucci Mane was arrested for parole violation for completing only 25 out of 600 community service hours following his 2005 arrest for assault. He was sentenced to a year in jail but was released after six months.
On November 12, 2009, Gucci Mane was sentenced to 12 months in prison for probation violation and taken away to jail in handcuffs.
