    Thanks for the random 6 game winning streak in 2022, Garry

    seems like a cool dude and definitely someone who tries his best.

    Also thanks for clearing out some time so we can develop our younger players.

    Good for him for getting back into the league and getting a contract. Maybe he’ll start hitting easy 3s again

    Remember that time he had an insane hot streak and some clutchfans members were asking what his potential ceiling might be?? (he was way over it)

    I think he'll play better on a team where he can just take wide open shots.

    I actually think this is a decent trade for both sides.

    He did his job as 10-11th man - nice player - nothing special, glad he got a guaranteed NBA deal here.

    When Gary had his Jerry Lin moment for like 48 hours.. got MVP chants for locking up Harden... what a time to be alive!

    I loved Gary playing defense with his face and turning a routine defensive assignment into a Super Bowl saving tackle.

    if it wasn't for Silas going full Gary I would have a higher appreciation for him.

    ngl, gonna miss Gary coming off a screen with only one option:

    So sad. He was like the white Jason Williams. But without the passing. And shooting. And assists. And highlights.

    Gary Penguin, thanks for at least getting into a few fights, he’s one of the few guys who wouldn’t get punked
