Let's talk about Jeff Green

Behind every great basketball star, there’s       a team.  LeBron James couldn’t have emphasized this more after the Cavs’
mighty win last night.

He particularly mentioned Jeff Green, who underwent major heart surgery in 2012.  A routine physical had revealed that Green was suffering from a potentially life-threatening aortic aneurysm.

After this Eastern Conference win, Green was asked whether he had ever imagined such a comeback.  Jeff explained that, at the time, he primarily focused upon health and simply getting back to the game.

Green is now very much back in the game.  A college graduate who earned his degree studying summers at Georgetown, Jeff had majored in English and minored in theology.  He expresses himself beautifully, both on and off the court, and eloquently offers thanks for all of his God-given gifts.
