(7,789 posts)...the guy is a basketball genius.
You have to watch him closely to see how great he is.
He would make a phenomenal coach. Very few players understand the whole game at his level.
His passing and defense in the game last night was amazing.
Thanks for posting this.

(21,150 posts)His upbringing is so inspirational.
On September 14, 2015, Green donated $3.1 million to Michigan State University. It is the largest individual donation by an athlete to the institution till date. Green indicated that his donation should go towards building a new athletics facility and to establish a scholarship fund.
Green is concerned about gun control and reportedly raised the topic during his meet with former president Barrack Obama.
His college nickname was Dancing Bear and he likes to read up latest technology. TechCrunch is one of his favourite magazines.
Greens mother was a strict disciplinarian and a devout Christian and made a lasting impression on Green. Growing up, his mother didnt allow posters of his sports idols in his room because the Bible says you dont idolize man.
When he was in the 9th grade, Green was caught cheating on a biology test. As punishment, his mother gave away everything he owned.
In March 2016, Green became the first player in NBA history to record 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocks in a season.

(66,119 posts)Too see the opportunities at the speed the NBA game runs at requires an ability to process information quickly.
And, he's not getting his assists breaking down the defensive set off his dribble.
He just sets up where he can see the angles he wants to see.
That's why he's such a good defender, too. He sees the help angles and sees screeners before they get to their spot.
Very smart player.
