Jeff Green is a professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He currently plays for the Houston Rockets and has had an illustrious career.

Green was born on August 28, 1986 in Cheverly, Maryland to Jeffrey Green Sr. and Pamela Green. After graduating from Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, Jeff accepted a scholarship to Georgetown University where he played college basketball under legendary coach John Thompson III. He earned All-Big East First Team honors twice during his time there and also led the Hoyas to their first ever Final Four appearance as a freshman in 2007. After three years at Georgetown, Jeff decided to forgo his senior year of eligibility and declared for the NBA draft where he was selected fifth overall by the Boston Celtics.

During his rookie season with Boston, Jeff contributed heavily off the bench helping them reach second place within their division while also earning himself NBA All-Rookie Second Team Honors. The following season he became a full-time starter averaging 16 points per game which helped guide them through two consecutive playoff appearances including one trip to the Eastern Conference Finals before eventually being traded away following that postseason run.

Over the next eight seasons of his career Jeff jumped around from team-to-team often finding himself being traded or signing as free agents; playing stints with Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers (twice), Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers respectively before ultimately landing back with Boston during 2017–2018 before again returning to Cleveland once more after they acquired him through trade later that same year but then sent him away again soon afterwards when they signed Kevin Love from Minnesota Timberwolves near midseason mark of 2018–2019 campaign .
In 2019–2020 season however Jeff found himself signing yet another one year deal this time with Houston Rockets whom were looking bolster their roster depth if needed despite not having enough salary cap space available so they resorted using bi annual exception rule which allowed them sign player no matter what amount money spent up certain limit set by league’s collective bargaining agreement between teams players union thus giving chance extend veteran’s career even longer than expected due its unique nature thus far working out well both sides since inception contract back summer 2019 making sure stay competitive playoff picture throughout entirety current campaign heading towards playoffs shortly thereafter now too late change course ship without complete overhaul entire roster much sooner anyways though so hopes will remain high surrounding situation all parties involved until either advance beyond round two post season play or get eliminated completely depending fate decides go way come April/May 2021 hopefully bringing some success along it path wherever leads everybody involved end day!
