Looking forany autographJeff Green
One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Jeff Green: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.
Big East Player of the Year at Georgetown, Green carried the Hoyas to the 2007 Final Four and went fifth in that summer's draft. He made the All-Rookie First Team in Seattle and kept going for 18 seasons and a record 272 NBA teammates across 11 clubs, Utah in 2019-20 among them, finally winning a championship with Denver in 2023.
A routine physical in December 2011 revealed an aortic aneurysm, voiding his Celtics contract. Green underwent open-heart surgery, and Kevin Durant dedicated his season to him. He spent the year off finishing his coursework, graduating from Georgetown in May 2012 with a degree in English and a minor in theology.
HOW HE CAME & WENTHe signed a one-year minimum deal on July 20, 2019 and debuted that October. The fit never took and Utah waived him on December 24.
