30-Year-Old Celtics Guard Gerald Green Proves He Still Has Incredible Hops With Awesome Alley-Oop Jam
It has been nearly a decade since Gerald Green executed his most famous dunk. He blew out a candle on a cupcake while dunking at the 2008 NBA Dunk Contest.
[youtube video=”DYIgGyDkTQQ” /]Since then, Green has become an NBA journeyman, jumping from team to team and even playing in Russia for two seasons. Now 30 years old, the Boston Celtics guard proved in Tuesday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors that he can still fly above the rim.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas lobbed a beautiful long-range alley-oop pass to Green, who caught the ball and threw it down with serious authority. Few players his age can still get their head above rim level like Green did.

And Celtics center Al Horford couldn’t believe what happened.
Can’t get enough of Al Horford’s reaction to Gerald Green’s monster dunk last night. #Celtics https://t.co/IttzchU2fq
