The Rockets defeated the Kings on the road today, with guard Jalen Green scoring the second-highest 19 points for the team, also reaching the career milestone of 4,000 points.
According to statistics, at the age of 22 years and 30 days, Green surpassed James Harden to become the youngest player in team history to score 4,000 points. Harden achieved this at the age of 23 years and 157 days.
"African King" Hakeem Olajuwon ranks third youngest at 23 years and 363 days, followed by Moses Malone at 24 years and 1 day, and Elvin Hayes at 24 years and 95 days. However, Green's ability to set this record is mainly due to his service with the Rockets since he was 19 years old.
Although only in his third year in the NBA, Green is already a key player in the young Rockets lineup. He not only seeks self-improvement but also plays the role of mentor to the younger players.
"Helping younger teammates is important. I was a rookie two years ago. This season marks my third year in the NBA, and people already see me as someone who has been in the league for a while, someone to be respected and learned from. Whether it's talking to the young guys about the positives and negatives or even the ugly stuff, I think it's all very important," Green said. |
