Currently in the process of rebuilding, Jalen Green forms the centerpiece of the Rockets franchise. The second pick in the 2021 draft, Green impressed us with his freakish athletic ability during the regular season, accounting for some noteworthy performances.
The 20-year-old is looking to fill the void created by James Harden’s departure. Unfortunately, the Rockets have a lot of work to do before they are back in the mix. The Houston team finished the season as the last seed with a 20-62 record.
As Green looks to take the reigns of the franchise into his hands, the Rockets guard cannot seem to get enough of the food in Houston. Hailing from California, Green states that it’s not difficult to gain weight staying in Houston.
Green’s comments could cause concern amongst Rockets fans, considering their history with former MVP James Harden. However, NBA Twitter seemed quite welcoming of Green’s appreciation for Houston food.

Listen — @JalenGreen is absolutely 100% correct here. The food in Houston is some of THE BEST in the United States.
We need more dialogue on this because I’m tired of Houston cuisine being underrated. There is an endless amount of incredible food from a variety of cultures. https://t.co/kEhdqEXaN1

Well, we hope Green doesn’t get too carried away by the numerous cuisines to try in Houston, considering the elite fitness required for the game of basketball.
In the past we’ve seen, players like Charles Barkley, James Harden, and Zion Williamson bear the brunt for their poor fitness levels.
