On January 6, Beijing time, the NBA sent an incredible news. Rockets assistant coach Gerald Green chose to make a comeback and plans to sign for an NBA development league team. Shams reported that Green is very eager to return to play in the NBA. Assistant coaches do half of it and want to play off the field, which is unheard of in the modern NBA. It seems that Green sees hope of being called up by an NBA team.
Gerald Green was born in 1986 and will soon turn 36. After playing 73 games for the Rockets in 2019, Green has not been given a chance to play. In 2021, Green announced his retirement and subsequently became an assistant coach for the Rockets. But just 3 months later, Green chose to make a comeback, much to everyone's surprise.
Maybe it's too boring in the rocket assistant coach position, maybe it's watching the juniors playing the ball itch, or it's more likely that in recent times, various veterans have been called up by the NBA, and Gerald Green resolutely chose to comeback. Joining the development league team, Green's goal is undoubtedly to return to the NBA. Returning to the NBA, even if it is a short 10-day contract, it can get $138,000. If the game gets better, it's a million-dollar return.
During Gerald Green's NBA career, he earned a total of $24.51 million. For the average person, this is already an astronomical number, but who would be too much money? Seeing that 40-year-old Joe Johnson can return to the league, Stephenson wandered a circle back to the single quarter to score 20 points, and various CBA players returned to the NBA to play well, Green may have seen hope, which contributed to his comeback decision.
And according to the current situation in the NBA, the employment shortage will last for a long time. After all, in the context of the new breakthrough of 1 million in a single day in the United States, the NBA cannot be spared. If Green plays well in the development league, according to his projection level and experience, he will be called up by an NBA team, which can be said to be just around the corner. Hopefully, the 36-year-old veteran will be able to pursue his dream and return to the NBA as a player!
