Former Houston Rockets Gerald Green comes full circle
Former Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green has had quite the basketball journey, which added another chapter Sunday night. Green helped his team, Bivouac, win the BIG3 2024 championship alongside another former Rocket, Corey Brewer. It was even more surreal for Gerald Green that his brother, Garlon Green, hit the game-winning shot.It was a full circle moment for Green as he won the BIG3 Finals MVP Sunday night in Boston, where he started his NBA career.
Green had a slow start to his NBA career, bouncing between the bench and the occasional start. Even with the early struggles, Green made a name for himself by winning the 2007 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Green's most successful NBA stint came in his second stint with the Rockets after signing with the Rockets in December 2017. Green had many memorable moments, including a game-winner on March 30 vs. the Phoenix Suns.
The BIG3 championship was not Green's first championship ring. In 2022, Green played for the Rockets' G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Green and Daishen Nix helped lead the Vipers to the G League championship in his only season.
