He got game

Gael Monfils, NBA superstar?

These were his statements after being asked why he gave up on becoming an NBA or European star basketball player.

"Maybe after my career I will think to be in the NBA. I love the NBA. I love the show they give the [players]. I mean, maybe in tennis sometimes it's too stiff, like some guys want to keep [their] emotion [inside]. Me, I'm not like this, you know. Like, my culture is to be very fun and enjoy the life. So on the court I'm like this."

So I guess that explains the Salsa dance.

But can he shoot the outside J?

I'm sure the Knicks could use some help. Surely, he's got to be better than his fellow countryman, Frederic Weis.
