"But after weeks of doing all that maintenance with very little impact on its appearance, I realized the scar wasn’t going anywhere. I didn’t have much of a choice: I decided to at least try to own the scar. And the best way to do that, in my mind, was to make it part of my routine. I’m gonna show this thing off, I thought. I’m gonna take my shirt off anytime I’m lifting or working out. That way, I’d be forcing myself to adapt."

Like Russell Westbrook, Victor Oladipo, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, among others, Green is a Jordan Brand player. In a video released by The Players' Tribune, Green talks about his special edition Jordans. On the side of the shoe, there's a symbol representing Green's scar. On the inner sock, there's the name of the doctor who performed Green's surgery. On the heel is the date of Green's surgery (January 9, 2012). The tongue of the shoe has the Jordan Jumpman logo inside of the American Heart Association's symbol.
