Jeff Green has been catching bodies left and right as if he needs it for fuel this season. After clinching a playoff berth by beating the Raptors, the 34-year-old explained how he’s been able to sustain his nuclear athleticism despite aging on his way to this dunking rampage he’s been on. Keep in mind, nobody is safe when Green is around.
When asked about how he’s been able to still posterize players he said, “Age is just a number to me. I’ve been working on my body. I put myself in the best shape of my life. I’ve done great things throughout the years to be in this position to be able to do that. I’ve been lucky to be with some great vets throughout my years. You know, KG (Kevin Garnett). I’ve been with LeBron (James) for a year. You know Paul (Pierce). You know my beginning years, Kurt Thomas and Vince Carter. You know guys that played long years in this league. I got to see it first hand what it takes to prepare your body each and every night. I used what they did and I put my own twist on it on how it can work for me and it’s just paying dividends at this point and I just got to keep at it.”

Through his experiences playing with some of the game’s best players, Uncle Jeff has been able to come up with this effective routine that works for him to sustain his athleticism. As his career progressed up until this point, Green has improved his shooting and other elements of his game such as working the post. Thanks to his Green routine, his offensive game remains dangerous to guard and dangerous to stand in front of if you’re trying to block him.
To close, the ageless dunking machine didn’t forget to leave us with a piece of advise as we all continue to age, “Everybody uses age for a reason for why people can’t do things, but not me! I’m here to prove I guess that you can still dunk at 34, or how you put it! If I gotta continue to prove to people that I can continue to dunk I’ll keep doing it.”
