Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets did it again, as they won their tenth straight game on Wednesday night. The Rockets are currently 1 game behind the Warriors with 10 games left in the season. So there's a real chance Houston could pass the Warriors and make the Play-In.
Jalen Green dropped 37 points in the win against OKC, and has been performing like a superstar ever since Alperen Sengun went down with an ankle injury.
Which begs the question, has Jalen Green already achieved superstardom, or should we expect him to show some regression before the season concludes?
Skip believes Green has already achieved “star” status, but superstardom appears right around the corner. He went as far to compare him to Anthony Edwards.
Plus, will the Rockets and Green be able to maintain this level of success when Sengun returns, whether it's this year or next?
Be sure to watch the video below as Skip Bayless, Keyshawn Johnson, and Rachel Nichols share their thoughts on the Rockets' budding superstar, Coach Ime Udoka, and much more!
