In the current NBA, more and more former NBA star players and even superstars have become the team's head coach. So the fans' ridicule is more: the coach has begun to warm up! Now the joke is a reality: The Rockets coach is really warming up!
According to Shams, Rockets assistant coach Gerald Green chose to make a comeback and plans to sign with the NBA Development League. Shams said the veteran, who played in the NBA for 12 seasons, is eager to return to the league.
In fact, Gerald Green had no intention of retiring, and he was actively looking for an NBA contract in the offseason. At the time of the September division last year, he also participated in the Rockets' audition. Sadly, the 35-year-old didn't get a chance to return to the NBA. On October 23, 2021, the Rockets officially announced Gerald Green's choice to retire in the NBA. Green then announced that he had joined the Rockets coaching staff as a player development coach and officially became a Rockets assistant coach.
This season, due to health and safety agreements, many of the NBA's fan lineups are extremely short of people, and the NBA has introduced some new regulations to solve this problem. It is also like this that many NBA veterans, some NBA fringe players, NBA development league players, have been given the opportunity to play in the NBA. There are also many players who have seized the opportunity to finally stay in the NBA and realize their dreams.
In such a situation, Gerald Green is also a little moved! According to Shams, Gerald Green also plans to opt for a comeback. In fact, Green's playing style is still very suitable for the current NBA. He's very passionate, shooting 36.1 percent from three-point range in his career, and he's still very qualified as a role player.
