Jaylen Green, a 20-year-old Rockets star, is currently attending an event in Manila, Philippines, after finishing a training camp he hosted. We know that although Jaylen Green is an American player, his mother is a Filipino, so Green has a special affection for the Philippines. He even publicly stated in an interview that he wanted to play for the Philippine men's basketball team.
Jaylen Green has great respect for his mother, and he also posts photos of himself with his mother and sister on his social media, writing: "My goal in life is to make these two beautiful women smile on their faces, and there is no better feeling than seeing them happy." If I can stick with that, then I'm winning. ”
Whether with his family or with his Rocket teammates, Jaylen Green can show "high emotional intelligence." We know that although Jaylen Green has only been with the Rockets for one year, he has a good relationship with two former Rockets big men, Wall and Wood. On the sidelines of the summer league, Jaylen Green and Wall had a happy conversation, and in The recent personal training camp held by Jaylen Green, Wood also attended the camp as a guest - a lot of face for Jaylen Green.
Gege's high emotional intelligence is also manifested in the relationship with teammates. Currently on a show, Jaylen Green is also interviewed, he talks a lot, and when talking about his incident with Rockets forward Danuer House about the "No. 4 jersey" last season, Green also showed high emotional intelligence.
We know that Jaylen Green's favorite jersey number is number 4, and when he played for the development league, Green's number was always number 4. Originally, after joining the Rockets, Jaylen Green also wanted the No. 4 jersey, but at that time, the Owner of the No. 4 Jersey of the Rockets was House.
Green said of the incident that he also wanted to buy House's No. 4 shirt with money at that time, but House directly said "4D HOUSE, 4D A TEAM". Meaning, House thinks he's the real owner of the No. 4, and he doesn't want to give up his favorite jersey number to a rookie player who has just entered the NBA — Jaylen Green was only 19 years old at the time, and House was 28 years old at the time, and he played with the Rockets for many years, both seniority and length of time, than Green , although he was not the core of the Rockets.
Jaylen Green then said he heard House say so, so instead of forcibly asking for the No. 4 shirt, he "respected it." Green then got the No. 0 jersey, which he said was a "blank number" and he didn't want to take any number other than no. 4.
But now, House was cut by Rockets management halfway last season, and then House played for the Jazz for half a season, and in the offseason this summer, House became a free agent and joined Harden's 76ers on a 2-year contract. Next season, Green has decided that he will no longer use the No. 0 jersey of his rookie season, but instead wear his favorite No. 4 shirt.
In order to unite his teammates, Green would rather change the number than offend his teammates, and after his teammates left the Rockets, Jaylen Green put the empty No. 4 shirt on his body. This generous personality and high emotional intelligence are also the key to the success of a rookie player.
