Houston Rockets guard Jaylen Green will no longer wear the No. 0 jersey next season, saying he will wear back the No. 4 jersey he wore when he was younger. He chose to wear No. 0 in his first season because the Rockets' No. 4 jersey at the time belonged to Danuel House Jr.
Jaylen Green said: "I salute D. House, he's like a big brother, I tried to bribe him and tell him it was my number. But he's from Houston, and the Number 4 is also his, and I respect that. ”
He went on to tell reporters: "I don't have my number, so I don't want another one. I took an empty, blank number. ”
Since Danuel House Jr. was cut last season, but players need to apply to the league in advance to change jerseys, Green can only use the No. 4 shirt now.
"It means a lot to me. I've thrown a lot of baskets and won a lot of games, so why not keep it? This is a special number for me. My family has great respect and love for this number and loves to see me use it. It's for me and my family.
