Gerald Green's nasty two-handed reverse silences Knicks crowd (VIDEO)

Gerald Green took off on a fast break in the second quarter against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday, and with no defenders in sight, you knew it was showtime.

After stealing the ball, Green went up and easily threw down the two-handed reverse jam in front of the usually raucous New York crowd — but it sounds like nobody noticed. 

The Knicks went on to beat the Suns for their fifth straight victory.

Gerald Green's windmill alley-oop is insane

There might not be too many New Jersey Nets highlights this year but, if there is one play that takes your mind off the Linsanity (is that still around?) across the Hudson River, it's this powerful dunk by Gerald Green.



Against the Houston Rockets Saturday night in Newark, Green— the journeyman NBA player— took a fast break pass from MarShon Brooks and raced full court to throw down the windmill alley-oop with authority.

Everyone knows Green can get air— he did win the 2007 slam-dunk contest and, in 2008, wowed the crowd by blowing out a candle on a cupcake placed on the rim— but this was really insane.

Green's acrobatics might have given the fans in Prudential Center some high-flying entertainment and the Nets a small rally but you knew there had to be payback for the moment of glory.

Later, Green would inadvertently tip the ball into the Rockets' basket with 1:03 left giving Houston a lead they would not relinquish.

Green finished with 26 points in 23 minutes but the Nets ended up losing to the Rockets 112-106.
