Career

Oregon State

Green was a four-year star at Oregon State, where he finished second in school history in rebounding and fourth in scoring. He was an All-Pac-10 selection as a sophomore, and as a junior he ranked fourth in the nation in field goal percentage at .657. As a senior he averaged 19.1 points and 9.2 rebounds and was named to the All-America Third Team. Oregon State University (OSU) is a research and degree-granting four-year public university located in Corvallis, Oregon. ...


Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers, fresh from winning an NBA championship, selected Green as the 23rd overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft.[1] This article is about the year. ...


Green fit well into the Los Angeles flow, as he did not need to have plays run for him in order to be effective. He led the Lakers in rebounding for six of his eight years on the team. Led by Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Los Angeles captured back-to-back titles in 1987 and 1988, Green's second and third years with the squad. In the two campaigns combined, he averaged 11.1 points and 8.2 rebounds while shooting better than .500 from the field. Green also reached the NBA Finals with Los Angeles in 1989 and 1991. Green was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team in 1988-89, was voted a starter on the 1990 Western Conference All-Star Team and finished fourth in the league in field goal percentage in 1992-93 at .537.

Phoenix Suns

Green left the Lakers in 1993 to sign with the Phoenix Suns as a free agent. The Suns had just reached the NBA Finals, losing in six games to the Chicago Bulls, and they viewed Green as the missing piece to their championship puzzle. Green posted a career-high average of 14.7 points per game in 1993-94, but the Suns were eliminated in the conference semifinals. In 1994-95 he again contributed double-figure scoring and solid rebounding for the Suns, but his playing time and contributions dipped in 1995-96; though he remained the team's second-leading rebounder. His streak of consecutive games played almost ended when J.R. Reid of New York intentionally elbowed him to the face. Green lost two teeth to the incident but still able to continue on with his streak by wearing a protective mask and only playing a couple of minutes a game that season. Year 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar). ... The Chicago Bulls are a professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois. ... Herman Reid, Jr. ...


Dallas Mavericks

Green was traded two months into the 1996-97 season to the Dallas Mavericks in the deal that brought Jason Kidd to Phoenix. He brought reliable rebounding to the rebuilding Mavs, leading the team off the boards in 30 of the 56 games he played in a Dallas uniform. Due to the trade he was able to move one game closer to the record of consecutive games played, since he appeared in 83 games in 1996-97 instead of the standard 82. He tied Shawn Bradley for the team lead in rebounding in 1997-98 with 8.1 rpg, but his season highlight came on November 20 against Golden State when he played in his 907th consecutive game, becoming the league's all-time iron man, surpassing Randy Smith's mark of 906 consecutive games played.[1] Jason Frederick Kidd (born March 23, 1973) is an American professional basketball player in the NBA who currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks. ...

Green played in his 1,000th consecutive game on March 13, 1999 against Vancouver, and finished the 1998-99 season at 1,028 in a row and counting. After 14 seasons in the league, Green had missed only three games, all during the 1986-87 season (his second in the league).


Twilight years

Green returned to the Los Angeles Lakers for the 1999-00 season where he won his last NBA Championship with the team. He played his final season with the Miami Heat where he was reunited with Pat Riley. The Heat managed to make the playoffs where they were swept in a very one sided series by the Charlotte Hornets 3-0 who won all 3 games easily. The Miami Heat (known as the HEAT [in all capital letters] on official team publications) is a professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida, United States. ... For the American guitarist, see Patrick Riley. ...


Iron Man Streak
