'Ignitable' Gerald Green Finally Gets the Green Light with Miami Heat

MIAMI — The Miami Heat, like the seven other NBA teams that have employed Gerald Green, are focusing on Green's shot selection.

But the feedback on this frustratingly familiar topic is different than what he's heard in the past. There are no caution flags or stop signs; the concerns now are whether he's being aggressive enough.

"If I don't shoot the ball, they get on me," Green said after a 19-point performance in Miami's season opener.

When Heat coach Erik Spoelstra speaks about the 29-year-old, the word "ignitable" usually works itself into the conversation.
