Yeah it was an underlying factor in his draft stock dropping and the C's picking him up so late, dude was athletically like a young T-Mac coming out of high school but lacked basketball smarts. to that man for turning it around though

Man, what!!!! I had no idea. I feel bad for partying on his failures during his first NBA stint.

Green was in the sixth grade when a freak accident left him with half of his ring finger. Wearing his mother's class ring, the 2007 NBA Slam Dunk champion tried to jam on a makeshift hoop attached to a doorway. The ring caught on a nail and his finger was ripped to the bone.
Amputation was the only option.

"All you saw was nothing but white bone, like a skeleton," Green said. "They said my tendons, all my ligaments were ripped out."

I didn't know either.

When Green was in the 6th grade, he suffered an accident that led to the amputation of his right ring finger. He was wearing a ring on his right ring finger when he attempted a dunk on a makeshift basketball hoop. The ring caught onto a nail on the goal and his finger was ripped, with amputation being the only option
