Josh Green

Tireless in his approach, even after seeing the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls’ failure to sink 3-pointers reach historic rates, Josh Green — through one heads-up play — confirmed that the ability to float remained entirely possible. Hoping to use his athletic gifts to turbocharge Charlotte’s second-quarter comeback bid, Green amends a teammate’s misfired triple, first by racing around the court for a stealth-like pickpocket of Josh Giddey’s dribble. Clearly catching Chicago’s point forward by surprise, Green, swift in his reactions once more, parlays the defensive play into sequence, tomahawk slamming the basketball through to trim the deficit to nearly single-digits. Green’s brilliant around-the-rim showcase proved to be a welcome change of pace, as Chicago and Charlotte combined for 75 missed triples — a single-game NBA record to date — during the loss on December 13, 2024. Likely refreshed by the four-day rest period prior to, Green’s ambition encouraged nine points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and a 3-pointer in 31 minutes time.
