Journeyman Power Forward: Jeff Green

Teams played for: 12/13 (Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder, Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets x2, Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets)

Longest tenure: 4 seasons (Boston, 2011-2015)

Career statistics: 12.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 1.5 APG in 1,107 games

Best year: 2008-2009 with Oklahoma City (16.5 PPG, 38.9% on 3FGs, 6.7 RPG, and 1.5 APG)

Speak of the devil, it’s Jeff Green! Green is the other mainstay that has appeared in all of the All-NBA Journeyman Teams since its inception. Last year, he won his first NBA championship with the Nuggets as their 7th/8th man.

After being drafted 5th overall all the way back in 2007 by the Seattle SuperSonics, Green won the 2007-2008 Rookie of the Year award. He and Kevin Durant are also the last two active players in the league who played for Seattle.

Green showed flashes of being an elite player throughout his tenure with Oklahoma City, however, he was never truly able to put it together with the Thunder. He was eventually traded to the Celtics but was forced to miss the entire 2011-2012 season due to his heart condition.

After his time in Boston, he jumped around to nine different franchises over the next decade, only spending two full seasons with a team when Denver brought him back last season. “Uncle Jeff” now heads down to Houston to help Ime Udoka with a mentorship role for a young Rockets team.
