Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden may be the first three players Nets fans think of to when considering which members of Brooklyn’s rosters have the most prominent voices in the locker room. But there’s already been an instance this season where players have noted Jeff Green’s emergence as a leader in the Nets locker room — and it appears he’s still trying to help steer the ship.
“He spoke after the last game; he spoke today when (the Indiana Pacers) made their run in the second half,” Steve Nash said following Brooklyn’s 104-94 win. “He’s definitely been a voice of reason, I think, for us this year in the locker room. So, he provides a lot with his experience and the respect he deserves.”
After the Nets snapped their skid on Wednesday, Joe Harris detailed some of Green’s message.
“Jeff didn’t have to say a lot,” Brooklyn’s sharpshooter said. “He just said, ‘Hey, what’re we going to do? Are we going to figured this out? Are we going to collectively come together? Or are we just going to keep having the same talk over and over again?’ … It was short and sweet, but it was to the point. It resonated wit everybody.”
Green and the Nets get back to work on Saturday on the road against the Golden State Warriors.
