COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -Greivis Vasquez has made history at Maryland, yet some fans question his emotional, freestyle approach on the basketball court.
The senior point guard is the only player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to have at least 2,000 points, 700 assists and 600 rebounds in his career. A year ago, Vasquez became the first Terrapin to lead the team in all three categories during one season.
Dubbed the “Venezuelan Sensation,” Vasquez currently averages 19 points per game and is the main reason why Maryland (19-7, 9-3) remains in contention for the league title.
But some Terps fans find his brashness to be annoying. They shudder when Vasquez shimmies his body after a big basket and grimace when he throws the ball away while trying to make a daring pass.
Despite this, Maryland coach Gary Williams considers Vasquez to be one of the greatest players in school history.
