NEWARK, N.J. — Gary Neal slipped on his white and black Spurs jersey, with the No. 14 and his name emblazoned on the back. He adjusted his socks until they were just right, laced up his shoes and jogged out of the locker room, toward the court at the Prudential Center and another night in the NBA.
He would go on to produce 11 points off the bench in the Spurs’ 102-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets, but the details were inconsequential.
For a 26-year-old undrafted rookie, whose path to this point once seemed impossibly blocked, every day in the NBA is a good day.
“I’m living the dream,” said Neal, a 6-foot-4 guard. “I really couldn’t write it any better.”
Yet Neal’s fairy tale journey — from a small college in Maryland through Europe to the NBA — comes with a dark twist.
Before he could live the dream, he first had to endure a nightmare. Before he could begin a basketball career, he had to face 12 jurors with the power to take his freedom.
Before he could have his storybook ending, he first had to stand accused of rape.
“That,” Neal says now, “was life-changing.”

Uhoh

“He didn’t just earn our trust,” Spurs captain Tim Duncan said. “He took it.”
Did anyone else find that to be a very, very poor choice of words in the context of this article?

not as bad as:
"Just as the rape charge changed him, his time in Europe hardened him."
McDonalds fails to report why Gary Neal was booted out from Treviso.
That was March 2010.
"Neal or else.."
Why did he booted out?
Apparently went partying, then missed practice, or something along these lines.
Yea that was a he got to get through
shiz wizzz
It looks like Claudio Crippa deserves a slight raise.
Great hire by Spurs FO back in 2009.

LMFAO @ that“He didn’t just earn our trust,” Spurs captain Tim Duncan said. “He took it.”

Signing 3 years-2M contract with this guy is an unbelievable move for Spurs.
If Neal won't choke in play-offs,( which is unlikely since Neal is a character guy); it will be one of the top 5 off-season moves of 2010 summer(Includes Bosh and Lebron moves)
Neal sacrificies his body on nearly every single play. And he has the prettiest shot in the entire team. Nothing but net most of the time. He also can make shots with hands in his face, during droughts or clutch time. He can be a spot shooter or create his own play. It's almost too good to be true at this point.
My dude Gary NEAL.
your sig pics are creepyhe nealt with it and moved on.. so should we..
Neal has been great all season and good to know he is living his dream playing in the NBA
Props to McDonald, great read
I say him throw up 30+ on a local telecast of Townsend State a number of years back he has always been absolutely feerless and a pure shooter but now he has a muscular body and is tough as nails.
If Spurs go against LAL in the WCF - Hill and him are a pretty good combo to toss at one other more famed player with a similar allegation and combined with Manu might well outscore him for the series.
