Split image of Jalen Green and Stephen Jackson
In the world of sports, viral videos can quickly spread like wildfire, and sometimes last for years to come.

Recently, a video clip surfaced featuring Jalen Green, who is a rising star with the Houston Rockets, but it did not paint him in the best light. Green could be seen with Christopher’s legs in the air in a missionary position and violently humping him while others laughed.

This incident sparked a wave of discussions and debates within the basketball community and beyond. One notable voice that chimed in was Stephen Jackson, who has long been retired from the league.

Jackson offered his thoughts on the incident emphasizing the importance of context and understanding the dynamics of locker room playfulness but also stressed that things that he saw was never an option with his teammates when he played the game.

He added that showing his boys his “hip thrust was never an option,” and Jackson concluded by saying, “It’s a different time.”

 

Former NBA player Stephen Jackson enjoyed a successful 14-year career in which he averaged 15.1 points per game and won the 2003 NBA Finals with the San Antonio Spurs.

He was also a starter for the 2006-07 Golden State Warriors, who famously upset the No. 1 seed Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green just averaged 22.1 points per game in his second NBA season. Josh Christopher was a bench player who got traded this off-season.
