Exclusive video footage has emerged showing Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green embroiled in a heated 2am confrontation with his girlfriend, 40-year-old reality star Draya Michele, outside a prestigious Fashion Week party in New York.
The disturbing clip, obtained by DailyMail.com, captures the 23-year-old NBA phenom in a visibly agitated state, engaging in a furious exchange with Michele on the sidewalk as luxury vehicles and bystanders look on.
Inside the Heated Altercation
Witnesses report the argument escalated quickly outside the high-profile event, with Green appearing to lunge toward Michele before being restrained by members of their security team. The couple's body language suggests intense emotions, a stark contrast to their usually polished public appearances.
The dramatic scene unfolded in the early hours of the morning following a glamorous Fashion Week celebration, where the couple had been photographed together just hours earlier appearing happy and relaxed.
Age Gap Relationship Under Scrutiny
The incident has brought renewed attention to the couple's 17-year age difference, a topic that has fascinated basketball and celebrity gossip circles since they went public with their relationship. Green, who is entering his fourth NBA season, began dating Michele earlier this year.
"This kind of public altercation is never a good look, especially for a young athlete with Green's profile and marketability," noted sports analyst Mark Johnson. "The NBA franchises invest heavily in their players' public images, and incidents like this can have real consequences."
Career Implications for Rising Star
As one of the Houston Rockets' most promising young talents, Green's off-court behavior is closely monitored by team management and sponsors. The 2021 NBA Draft's second overall pick has been building his reputation as a rising star in the league, making this incident particularly untimely.
Team officials have yet to comment on the incident, but sources close to the organization indicate there may be internal discussions about providing additional guidance to the young player regarding his personal conduct.
The video has sparked intense discussion across social media platforms, with fans and commentators divided in their reactions to the couple's very public disagreement.
