A year after undergoing urgent surgery to repair the damage of an aortic root aneurysm, and awaking unable to move, Jeff Green Tweeted the above photo of himself with a breathing tube running down his throat, three drainage tubes in his chest, and three IVs pumping into his body. Then he took the floor as his Celtics faced the Phoenix Suns.
The Celtics went on to win the game, thanks in no small part to Green's team-high 14 points and plus-16.
Happy anniversary, indeed.
