Jalen Green inspired the Houston Rockets to shock the struggling Los Angeles Lakers and pile more misery over them.
Jalen Green was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the second pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and had very high expectations from him as the franchise transcended into a rebuilding mode from the scratch by drafting a good young core which comprised of him and Alperen Sengun.
The high-flying shooting guard had a very slow start to his NBA career and people started to call him a bust and mocked him for his over-confidence due to his charismatic personality both on the field and off the field.
However, he has started to put up great performances regularly now and the whole world has started to respect his game and now acknowledge him to be a great player in the future.
Last night, He led the Houston Rockets to a big win against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers where he registered his career-high points total of 32 and led his team from the front.
The young exciting squad of the Houston Rockets was too difficult to handle for the old Lakers squad who is looking worse day by day instead of improving.
All the rookies of the Houston Rockets gave a statement performance
Along with Jalen Green, his two teammates who were drafted along with him: Alperen Sengun and Josh Christopher also shined and dropped 21 points each. The emergence of the rookies of their team has made the Rockets fans very excited for the future.
So far this season, this young squad of the Rockets has shown good promises. Getting such a victory against a team full of future Hall of Famers while missing your best player in Christian Wood is a very big statement victory for this young and exciting team from Houston, Texas.
The Houston Rockets will be getting an early first-round pick for the next year’s draft. And if they can get another good player like they got in this year’s draft, they could be well and truly set for a bright future. They look to kickstart the success in the post-James Harden era.
