Rockets Rookie Jalen Green Disses Detroit: Jalen Green Compares City of Detroit to G League Bubble

Detroit passed on Jalen Green for Cade Cunningham in the 2021 NBA draft, and it seems he isn’t taking kindly to the fact. It first became evident when he said he should have definitely been the #1 pick, and added he was the best player in the draft. The tension was even more evident when he was going at Cade Cunningham with personal aggression during their Summer League matchup. Now it’s completely clear after Jalen Green dissed Detroit with some very disrespectful words about their city.

In a recent interview Rockets rookie Jalen Green compared Detroit to the G League bubble. He said there isn’t anything to do in the Detroit, so he would have been going from the gym right back to his apartment. He claims his lifestyle would have been identical to living in the G League bubble if Detroit had drafted him.

Was he being disrespectful?

Prayers up for the egos of Detroit natives.
