Rockets veteran forward: Durant is still the same as he back then, we are good friends at the Supersonics

The Houston Rockets had daily training during training camp before, during which the team's forward veteran Jeff Green was interviewed by a sideline reporter, and he also recalled the rookie time he spent with Kevin Durant at the Seattle Supersonics.

Jeff Green said: In my opinion, he is still the Kevin Durant in his rookie season. He never combs his hair, he keeps his hair that natural, which is what I like most about him. Jeff Green continued: At that time, we were two young people who worked hard to become famous. At that time, we were both young people who came here and we all wanted to be recognized from the outside world, so we had many common topics. The two of us grew up only a 5-10-minute drive away. Although we knew each other, we didn't get to know each other until the draft. Durant was only 19 years old at the time, and I was only 21 years old. We were both the youngest players on the team, so naturally we would have a lot of time to stay together. We also have many common topics, and we often stay together. At that time, he couldn't go to any place, so we had to stay at home to play games or go to the gymnasium to train, which was our base.

In the NBA regular season this season, Jeff Green made a total of 32 appearances in 82 games, averaging 12.4 minutes per game, averaging 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.7%, and free throw shooting percentage was 80.8%. In the playoffs, Green only got three chances, and averaged only 1.8 minutes per game, with averaging 1 point and 0.3 rebounds, a shooting percentage of 33.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 100%. In the NBA regular season last season, Durant made a total of 62 appearances, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%.

This summer, the Rockets gave Jeff Green a basic salary contract to sign him back to the team, while Durant joined the Rockets through a trade this summer from the Phoenix Suns. After many years, the two young players who once played for the Supersonics finally completed their reunion with the Rockets at the end of their careers. However, both players are now nearly 40-year-old veterans, and their condition has declined to varying degrees to a certain extent. I don’t know what performance these two players will perform in the new season.
