After all, they made huge moves this offseason already.</p><p>They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/kevin-durant-trade-grades-7-teams-blockbuster" rel="noopener">traded for Kevin Durant</a>, re-signed Fred VanVleet and Jabari Smith Jr. Then to start free agency, they signed two of the top available role players in the market, i.e. Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith.</p><p>But to those who know what Green had to get through to get to this point, him playing another season is one of the most inspiring news that person read (or heard) that day.</p><h2><b>Jeff Green was forced to retire in 2011 after a failed physical</b></h2><p>Entering his fifth season in the NBA, Green signed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Boston Celtics once the NBA lockout was over. He performed the usual examinations he did each season. However, instead of getting the typical stamp of approval, Green received news that he never thought was possible.</p><p>After further examination, doctors found that he had an aortic aneurysm. The condition wasn’t common, and it was one that would impact both his basketball career and life in general. He was only 25 years old at the time, showed no symptoms, and only missed 13 of his first 328 regular-season games.</p><p>Green opted for surgery in January 2012 and spent over 24 hours in the operating room. The operation isn’t normally that long, but in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42YyZhLW1Fs" rel="noopener">interview with Kristine Leahy</a>, Green revealed that he had to go back into surgery because of internal bleeding.</p><p>“What I was told was, when I came out of surgery, I had to go back into surgery because I had internal bleeding,” Green said. “That’s something a lot of people didn’t know.”</p><p>To Green, he considers the day of his surgery as his second birthday each year. It was a surgery that left him with a nine-inch scar down his chest and a long journey of rehabilitation.</p><h2><b>Jeff Green returned from heart surgery better than ever</b></h2><p>Fearful that his NBA career would be over, the Celtics actually signed Green once he was officially cleared to play. It was a contract similar to what he initially got before the surgery at $9 million a year. Only this time it was long term, inking a four-year, $35 million contract.</p><p>In his first campaign back after taking just a full year to recover, Green played 81 games for the Celtics. He’d even start 17 of those games and averaged 12.8 points playing 27.8 minutes a game.</p><p>Fast forward to today, Green has won an NBA title with the Denver Nuggets and played with different legends that changed the game. From Durant, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, James Harden… Whatever role, city, or jersey that was on his chest, he never lost his place in the league. Over his career, Green has <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/player/earnings/_/id/2720/jeff-green" rel="noopener">made over $100 million</a> in contract earnings.</p><p>Green’s garnered a bit of a reputation as a journeyman, playing for 11 teams the last 18 years. Sometimes he was asked to be a starter. During his early 30s, other teams asked him to be a role player. On other teams, he was asked to be more of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/houston-rockets/rockets-jeff-green-late-career-resurgence-provides-leadership-newfound-depth" rel="noopener">a veteran voice in the locker room</a>.</p><p>Whatever he was asked to do, he did it at a high level. Jeff Green got a second lease on life, and he’s making sure to make each second count.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming off a year with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-jeff-green-late-career-resurgence-provides-leadership-newfound-depth">Rockets that continued his late-career resurgence</a>, the Georgetown legend has evolved into the ultimate teammate. And now <a href="https://x.com/courtsidebuzzx/status/1854693272452481522?s=46" rel="noopener">he’s had more of them than anyone</a>!</p><p>“Jeff Green has now played with the most teammates in NBA history (263),” as confirmed by Courtside Buzz. This is a stunning accomplishment for a guy who seamlessly fits everywhere he’s played.</p><h2>Jeff Green’s longevity and importance to the Rockets</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Rockets-Jeff-Green.jpg"><figcaption>John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While he was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics in 2007, Jeff Green ironically played 77 games with Vince Carter with the Memphis Grizzlies between 2014 and 2016.</p><p>Up to that point in Jeff’s career, nine years in, he had only played for three franchises. This was already a remarkable achievement because Green missed the entire 2011-2012 season due to having to undergo open-heart surgery for an aortic root aneurysm.</p><p>After his tenure with the Grizzlies, between 2016 and 2020, Uncle Jeff played for six teams. This included his first stint with the Rockets, which ended in the NBA bubble. The beloved veteran’s incredible journey reached a high point three years later. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-news-veteran-trio-rock-hilarious-custom-made-shirts-at-championship-parade">Green won his first NBA title with the Denver Nuggets</a> after 137 career playoff games.</p><p>Shortly after, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-houston-continues-busy-free-agency-lands-nba-champion">Rockets landed the new NBA champion in free agency</a>, where Jeff has played a key role as a locker room leader. This move by Houston also severely hurt the defending champion <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-big-mistake-denver-2023-nba-free-agency">Nuggets, who still miss Green’s presence</a>.</p><p>The 38-year-old was a vital contributor for the Rockets last year and continues to be a contributor, albeit in a more off-the-floor role. So far this year, Green has seen action in two games, averaging only four minutes in those appearances. While his contributions on the court might be coming to an end, it’s fair to say that Jeff Green has had a remarkable career.</p><p>Overall, it’s early in the season, but the Rockets have gotten off to an impressive 5-3 start. This campaign has featured impressive wins over preseason title contenders like the Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks. Having recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-alperen-sengun-forever-claim-185-million-contract-extension">signed Alperen Sengun to a long-term extension</a>, Houston is a potential breakout team in the Western Conference.</p><p>Second-year head coach Ime Udoka has overseen <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-set-eyes-on-new-goal-to-salvage-play-in-disappointment" rel="noopener">significant growth in young players like Jalen Green</a> and Amen Thompson. Having Jeff Green with the franchise will be crucial for the growth of Houston’s young core going forward. Meaning that Uncle Jeff will continue to add to his record-breaking number of teammates!</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’d also provide more depth to the Rockets’ bench.</p><p>Fast-forward to thirty-five games into the regular season, and Jeff Green has done more than he’s been asked to do in his 16th year, both on and off the court.</p><p>Outside of games, he is the guy youngsters like Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason look up to, eager to ask him questions about his experience and how to stay as relevant as he has in the NBA.</p><p>On the court, Coach Ime Udoka gives him assignments to sometimes play the five and guard the biggest player. At the twilight age of 37, Jeff eagerly steps up to that challenge and can still hold his own effectively on the court. At various times, he can still turn back the clock and unexpectedly slam in a monster dunk.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This dunk from 37 year old Jeff Green 😳 <a href="https://t.co/nmosN9ctq6">pic.twitter.com/nmosN9ctq6</a></p><p>— Bradeaux (@BradeauxNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/BradeauxNBA/status/1741998122883035190?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 2, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2>Sliding Green to the five</h2><p>To backup Alperen Sengun, Houston signed center Jock Landale, in hopes of keeping the roster scoring consistent. This, unfortunately, has backfired. Landale hasn’t quite been the quality backup big the Rockets hoped he would be. They needed a Plan B. This consisted of Jeff Green’s insertion into the lineup as an undersized big playing the five to replace him. How has this worked out? Well, it’s actually working better than expected.</p><p>While the baseline stats may <a href="https://www.chron.com/sports/rockets/article/jeff-green-bucks-highlights-18594037.php">not show his impact</a> this season (6.6 points, two rebounds, 53.6% shooting in 16.4 minutes), Green does much more than what the numbers may show. Green’s IQ as a player is still sharp. He can get into the lane, space the floor, and make timely cuts for a pass inside or on the wings. A notable game came against the Milwaukee Bucks. Green jumped back into the fountain of youth, scoring 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting, including an impressive drive to the basket guarded by Brook Lopez, who was a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year last season. Playing 34 significant minutes, Green helped lighten the shorthanded Rockets.</p><p>Utilizing his placement on defense, no matter the size, Green is still capable of closing on players down in the post or on the perimeter. Franchise star Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves went 0-of-3 on isolated shots when guarded by the 16-year veteran.</p><h2><b>This shouldn’t be the answer</b></h2><p>In whatever way he scores—the post, floaters off the dribble, or on a catch-and-shoot three — Ime Udoka has his trust and Green is always ready to answer the call. Sure, you could call this overachieving. This is certainly more than what he was initially asked to do, but when might this effectiveness at his age begin to wane? Houston still needs a quality backup center with adequate years to play in their NBA career, and Green shouldn’t be solely the player the team relies on to play an undersized center. As the trade deadline looms, the Rockets need to stick with looking at sellers, specifically the ones who would benefit from giving away a quality backup big.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Playing with 11 different franchises since entering the league in 2007, 12 if you count the Seattle SuperSonics and Oklahoma City Thunder as two different teams, Green’s experiences and leadership proved to be invaluable to the Nuggets.</p><p>Entering the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, it was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-houston-continues-busy-free-agency-lands-nba-champion" rel="noopener">originally reported</a> that Green agreed to a one-year, $6 million contract with the Houston Rockets. With the team <a href="https://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets-sign-free-agent-jeff-green" rel="noopener">officially announcing</a> their signing on Friday, it was revealed that Green actually signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Rockets that has some stipulations for the second year.</p><p>According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, <a href="https://twitter.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1677337445577420800?s=20" rel="noopener">Green’s contract</a> carries a cap hit of $8 million for the first year of his contract and the second season is non-guaranteed. This means the Rockets could potentially waive the veteran with no financial penalties next offseason.</p><p>Out of all the teams in the league entering the offseason, the Rockets owned the most cap space and they made the most of it. They not only signed former Toronto Raptors All-Star Fred VanVleet, but Houston also brought in Dillon Brooks, Jock Landale and Aaron Holiday as experienced pieces to play alongside their young core.</p><p>As mentioned previously, Green has been the epitome of a leader and mentor almost his entire career. Everywhere he has gone, he’s been a positive influence, which is one of the main reasons why the Rockets wanted to have him as an experienced veteran on their bench.</p><p>Now through 15 seasons in the NBA, Green has averaged 12.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 33.7 percent from three-point range over the course of his career. A maximum effort defender who has a high IQ and understanding for the game, the 36-year-old forward will likely act as an extension of Houston’s coaching staff for the upcoming season.</p><p>The Rockets are a young, dynamic team that added even more youthful talent this offseason when they drafted Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore. Green, along with some of the other free agency signings, will be looking to help develop and bring out the most in their teammates as the organization looks to improve upon their 22-60 record from this past season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite the disparity in their current status in the league, however, it was Green who destroyed Giannis on Saturday night with a savage poster dunk. Antetokounmpo simply did not know what hit him.</p><p>For starters, here’s Green’s vicious poster slam all over the former back-to-back league MVP:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JEFF GREEN PUT GIANNIS ON A POSTER 😱<a href="https://t.co/t6J8NXkSuE">pic.twitter.com/t6J8NXkSuE</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1639823385898172416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Green may be 36, but what cannot be denied is that he can still get up there. Giannis had to learn this the hard way as he got absolutely obliterated on this sequence.</p><p>The Nuggets bench simply <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1639829196250705920" rel="noopener">could not contain themselves</a> after seeing that poster flush. Every single player on the bench got on their feet after watching Jeff Green’s aerial antics:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Nuggets bench after Jeff Green's poster dunk 😂<a href="https://t.co/KxAcyb7Bao">pic.twitter.com/KxAcyb7Bao</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1639829196250705920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>That’s awesome. In case you missed it, Michael Porter Jr. ended up shoving one of his teammates to the ground out of excitement. To say that the Nuggets bench was absolutely hyped after that dunk would be a complete understatement. Even Nikola Jokic couldn’t help but let out a primal fear after seeing that sequence first-hand.</p><p>For what it’s worth, this isn’t the first time Giannis Antetokounmpo has been on the wrong end of a poster dunk. It also won’t be the last. The Bucks superstar does not shy away from these types of plays, which at times, does not end too well for him. That’s just the type of guy he is, though, and probably not even a hundred poster dunks would change this.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Green appeared in 75 games and started 63 of those, averaging 10.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game. He shot 52.4% from the field and 31.5% from 3-point range.</p><p>Assuming Green is kept and not traded away to save money (the Nuggets <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/denver-nuggets/cap/" rel="noopener">are currently expected to be in the luxury tax</a> and just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-news-denver-trades-jamychal-green-thunder-first-round-pick-2022-nba-draft/" rel="noopener">traded</a> JaMychal Green to help reduce their tax bill for next season), he will again play an important veteran role in 2022-23. While the return of Porter (and Jamal Murray) would likely limit Green’s minutes, he would surely still get a good amount of playing time off the bench.</p><p>With Porter and Murray back, Denver is expected to be a title contender next season. The Nuggets just didn’t have enough around Nikola Jokic to help him against the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Green did have a rough go of it against the Warriors, averaging just 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 22.6 minutes per game in the postseason. He started all five games against Golden State.</p><p>It has already been a rather eventful offseason for Denver since that playoff loss. In addition to that JaMychal Green trade, Tim Connelly left the front office to run the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Calvin Booth taking his place as the head of basketball operations. Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic is expected to sign a supermax contract this summer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s only the second Warriors player to do it. The late great Wilt Chamberlain is the other player who did this in 1960. So far, Poole has scored 86 points in the playoffs, but none of them were as big as the two points he made in clutch time on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets.</p><p>Stephen Curry found Poole wide open in the corner, but Poole didn’t take the three-point shot. Instead, he took the ball straight to the basket and made an acrobatic layup over Denver’s Jeff Green.</p><p>“I saw an open lane, so I went to the basket,” Poole told ClutchPoints. “Jeff Green came over to contest. Obviously, he’s a very big body down in the paint area. I felt like I had enough lane to go get a layup. He made the play by coming up and going up, and I had to find a way to make the shot.”</p><p>His basket came at a crucial point in the game.

The contempt for one another appeared to boil over Thursday night, as Nuggets forward Jeff Green attempted to break into the Suns locker room after the game. Nuggets players and staffers reportedly had to hold him back before he got inside the visiting locker room.</p><p>The animosity from Green supposedly came from a play earlier during the game. While in transition, Suns point guard Chris Paul appeared to stop in front of Green, causing the two to collide. Clearly, Green took that as a cheap shot.</p><p>The Suns swept the Nuggets during the 2021 playoffs and just won the third and final meeting this season, taking the season series, 2-1. Afterwards, Nuggets coach Michael Malone spoke of the confrontation as well as the growing rivalry, captured by Mile High Sports’ <a href="https://milehighsports.com/nuggets-burgeoning-rivalry-with-suns-boiled-over-on-thursday-night/">TJ McBride</a>.</p><p>“A lot of words are being spoken and some people take offense to what is being said and; obviously, they swept us last year in the playoffs… I think there is definitely some animosity, but that is what this time of year should be about… This time of year, it should be every possession matters, every quarter matters, every game matters, and with that comes physicality, aggression and some people may not like that or be comfortable with that.”</p><p>With the loss, the Nuggets fell to 43-31. They are one game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves. It is crucial they maintain their positioning, as Denver is currently the first seed above the play-in tournament. Meanwhile, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-phoenix-gets-massive-chris-paul-boost-for-stretch-run-after-15-game-absence/" rel="noopener">the Suns got Chris Paul back</a> from injury and continue cruising toward the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He may not hold as much star power as Kevin Durants, Kyrie Irving or James Harden, but his departure could potentially have a significant impact on the Nets next season.</p><p>Green, who put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the <a href="http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/vnZW7v" rel="noopener">Nuggets</a> for $10 million, is over the moon with his recent move. It also looks like he has a bit of a parting shot for the Nets after leaving Brooklyn:</p><blockquote>“It does feel good to finally lock in something more than one year,” Green said with a smile, via <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2021/08/26/jeff-green-nuggets-free-agent-decision/">Mike Singer of the Denver Post</a>.</blockquote><p>It remains unclear if the Nets tabled an extension offer for Green, but based on his statement above, it is clear that his decision to join the Nuggets had a lot to do with the length of Denver’s contract offer. For what it’s worth, the Nuggets are now Green’s 10th team in the past eight years. Needless to say, the veteran forward is just happy to have been able to secure a multi-season deal.</p><p>Green then continued to praise the Nuggets as he shared his excitement for what’s to come in this next chapter of his career:</p><blockquote>“I thought it was fitting,” he said. “The environment, the culture, the players, the coach, the atmosphere … the type of environment you look for in an organization. It was a no-brainer. I felt like it could be a special season.”</blockquote><p>Jeff Green is anything but a superstar, but he’s the type of impact player who could make a difference for a team like the <a href="http://foco.vegb.net/jkkdZ" rel="noopener">Nuggets.</a></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But new Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens may be leaning towards signing a few of his former players to bolster the team’s bench depth.</p><p>For the moment, the Celtics’ biggest free agency dilemma centers on whether they will push to re-sign Evan Fournier.</p><p>Boston is losing confidence in keeping Fournier, <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/08/01/sports/celtics-limited-do-have-options-free-agency-opens/" rel="noopener">as noted by the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach</a>. The team’s front office simply has no aspiration to meet Fournier’s hefty $19 million per season salary demand.</p><p>Thus, the Celtics are looking towards other avenues to improve their bench, such as by possibly bringing back Jeff Green.</p><p>Himmelsbach adds that Boston is looking to bring in a player with “extensive experience” and sees that Green fits the bill with this need. Green notably featured under now-former Celtics head coach Stevens over the 2014-2015 season.</p><p>As Boston is also in need of size, the team is being linked with both Rudy Gay and Kelly Olynyk. The Celtics are well familiar with Olynyk, who spent a notable four seasons with the team as a key rotational center. On the other hand, Gay has strong ties to new Boston head coach Ime Udoka, which dates back to the latter’s time with the San Antonio Spurs coaching staff.</p><p>Even after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-rumors-boston-eyed-a-move-for-kyle-anderson-before-josh-richardson-trade/" rel="noopener">acquiring</a> Josh Richardson from the Dallas Mavericks, the Celtics are still looking to revamp their backcourt depth. The report adds that former Celtics guard Avery Bradley and longtime Spurs guard Patty Mills will be backcourt options for Stevens when free agency kicks off.</p><p>In essence, the Celtics will have plenty of options to further rejuvenate their bench unit, especially as they still hold a $5.9 million mid-level exception. As Stevens is well familiar with Jeff Green, Kelly Olynyk and Avery Bradley, reunions could be on the horizon for the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s also not LeBron James. Therefore, there is no reason for him to be dunking the way he does at this stage of his career. Yet, Uncle Jeff still surprises fans with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-jeff-green-is-throwing-down-monster-dunks-all-over-suns/">thunderous throwdowns</a> and tomahawks that still manage to catch bodies from time to time.</p><p>Jeff Green’s dunking prowess at 34 has certainly caught a lot of attention, which has led to some question what goes in Mr. Green’s Secret Stuff. The 14-year veteran revealed via <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/nets/ny-nets-jeff-green-food-20210426-dgns4r6b7jdbvfbo37dsqmwkiu-story.html">Kristian Winfield of New York Daily News</a> that his diet has changed over the years. As he grew older, he realized just how important a healthy diet is to maintain the tip-top condition he wants to be in to continue playing at a high level even at this point of his career with the Nets.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
