As Rockets rookie Jalen Green answered questions at NBA All-Star Weekend on Friday, he spotted teammate Alperen Sengun. “Alperen Sengun. Alwaaaaays,” Green said with a chuckle.
It turns out that’s what his fellow Rockets rookie says when he shoots a 3-pointer.
“Every time he shoots a 3, he’s like, ‘Alperen Sengun,’ and then he’ll be like, ‘Always,’ because he always makes it,” Green explained.
Green also added a little self-deprecating humor.
“I’m like ‘Jalen Green … Sometimes.’ It’s funny,” Green said.
There's even video of Sengun launching long 3s during practice last week, using the "Always" moniker.
