How a dinner party at Jeff Green’s “nice” house in Miami galvanized Nuggets in NBA Finals Game 3

MIAMI — Kale salad was the underdog champion for most memorable dish. What that says about the menu as a whole is in the eye of the beholder.

“Some good food,” said Jeff Green, the host of a Denver Nuggets dinner party in south Florida.

“Man, the food was phenomenal,” fellow journeyman Ish Smith confirmed to The Post.

But interjecting from an adjacent locker room stall was a straight-faced DeAndre Jordan: “The food was trash.”

Steak. Chicken. A risotto. The kale salad. It was an NBA Finals meal, not an offseason meal. Dieting matters this time of year, and as Smith pointed out, “back in the day” there wasn’t as much nutritional science being presented to pro athletes.
