Winfield: Jeff Green’s dunking prowess ... and the diet that propels him

It’s one of the biggest surprises in a surprising season: how Jeff Green at 34 looks 10 years younger, particularly when he’s powering down the lane, the ball in his hands, his eyes on the rim. KA-BOOM!

No doubt, there’s a lot of reasons why Green has turned the Fountain of Youth into the Statue of Liberty. There’s always genes, conditioning and the confidence of his coaches. Lets not forget that Green was on the sidelines last season until Mike D’Antoni picked him up in the “bubble.”

But as Kristian Winfield notes, there’s also diet whose value Green is very much aware of.
