With a stellar individual performance in a hard-fought loss, Jalen Green has already put his name in the history books of the NBA. And considering it is with the likes of Michael Jordan, it was natural that he reacted like this when he was given this information.

Jalen Green looked relatively less stressed on the floor today. In the post-game interview, he mentioned that once he saw his three-point shot go down; he felt good. This resulted in more confidence on the floor.
