A Greivis error in judgment

Greivis Vasquez needs a course on how to win friends and influence people -- in the Triangle at least.
First, Vasquez dubbed Cameron Indoor Stadium "his house." He continues to apologize for that.
Then, he dropped a triple-double on Carolina. No need to apologize there, but Carolina fans won't be sending Vasquez any Christmas cards this year.
And now, for his finishing move in the trifecta, Vasquez endears the Wolfpack nation with a meaningless three-point shot at the buzzer.
The chorus of boos at the RBC Center thundered while Vasquez did his post-game interviews on FSN. And the fans weren't the only ones angered by Vasquez' "rub it in" three.
"I couldn't go punch him in the face," said N.C. State guard Javier Gonzalez. "Where I'm from, we don't do that."
The chance of a punch from Gonzalez is nothing to take lightly, either. This comes straight from his bio on N.C. State's official athletics website: "His first love was boxing, his stepfather was a boxing champion in Puerto Rico and young Javi boxed in a children’s league."
