Students from the The Urban Enrichment Institute including Clewaun Maxwell, 13, center, wear t-shirts with the artwork of the newly renovated court at Brewster Park on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022 in Houston. Maxwell was hoping to get Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green to sign his Rockets basketball which is already signed by Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. .Jalen Green has been in Houston for just a little more than a year, but he is making sure to leave his mark on the city.
The court, which was upgraded with help from Mayor Sylvester Turner and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, has Green's stamp all over it. At midcourt is a peace sign on the back of a hand that's throwing up the H. If that looks familiar, that's because Green has that peace sign tattooed on his right hand and he often represents his new city by throwing up the H during on-court celebrations. The court also features a pair of Jalen Green logos as well as the words,"With Love" followed by Green's signature. The smooth new surface also includes the Rockets colors as well as logos for the team and adidas.
