My worst fear is that Jalen Green will be more distracted by life outside of basketball

    Short answer, it’s too early for this crap.

    Long answer, it’s none of your ****ing business how he lives his life outside of ball.

    He hasn’t even played a season, much less a second of NBA basketball.

    He’s a 19 year kid that is living his dream. He’s a cornerstone for this rebuilding Rockets team, in a new situation in a big city. Again, he’s 19. Let him live a little lol.

    He’s not doing anything reckless; drugs, driving irresponsibly, hanging out with the wrong people. etc. He can’t even get into a strip club like our franchise player of the past.

    All he’s done is get a grill, said he prefers living in Houston than Detroit and that he has chip on his shoulder not being 1st overall. If that doesn’t endear you as a Rockets/Houston fan then what will?! Lol

    Y’all complaining are the same people that spent years complaining that Harden spent too much time at the strip club or came into camp fat, yet he was still dropping 40-50 triple doubles and carrying the rest of the team on a nightly basis and adding to his game every offseason. Y’all will complain about anything lmao

    Yeah people can complain about Harden all they want, but he added something to his game every single offseason. He invented moves that every other player replicates. He couldn't coast on his athleticism like Tmac. Sure, he didn't show up sometimes, but he also routinely lost to an all-time great team. No Warriors, he probably has a few rings.

    he probably will. I’ll bet money on it.

    I know he’s invited to some Houston club event soon, 19 year old. Ooooooooh.

    Jalens difference with Harden is, he falls in love. Lol. Hope this guy gets a gf n chills.

    yes it is. No use sitting worrying about possibilities or probabilities of what hasn’t happened yet or what is unknown. Who knows? What evidence do you have that he is distracted? Or is this all assumptions and conjecture? Let the man be.

    Enjoy him for 5-6 years. I hope he does grow up. But he’s 19… so we will be singing a diff tune during that time. He could be great or a Wiggins.

    let’s keep the tank strong. We need multiple star players. Trust in Stone.

    Oh wait
    That will never happen to someone with legit talent

    Getting a grill is unforgivable though

    Do you know the price of those things?

    100 financial advisors just had a heart attack

    When he a##l probes the cleaning lady and throws Shaq under the bus, then I'll worry about it

    Jalen chose to stay in a bubble for months and focus on basketball rather than having an actual social life. He's been a celebrity since he was 14, he knows how to deal with the fame

    All I have to say on this subject was that people were criticizing Kobe early on for recording shitty rap, going to prom with Brandy, and other meaningless things. Turns out, he loved basketball more than anything else--and I think Jalen Green is going to be the same way.
