BIO: Josh Green was born in Glenhaven, NSW after his parents met while both were playing semi-professional basketball in Australia. The couple decided to raise a family in the north-west Sydney suburb of Castle Hill where Josh began playing basketball at the age of five when his mother started coaching him. Along with playing local basketball for the Hills Hornets. In fifth grade, Green traveled more than 12 hours by car to the outback town of Broken Hill in a attempt to gain selection for the under-12 state basketball team and was told he was good enough to be on the team but would have to wait a year or two so the older boys could play. Twelve months later, he captained the under-12 NSW Metro state team to a national title.

Green attended The King’s School in Sydney where his father was also head basketball coach. It was at that time he had also switched to play club basketball for Penrith with the decision paying off when he was selected to represent the under-14 and under-16 New South Wales state team’s in successive years as a bottom-ager.

Green was also a talented footballer in as a teenager and was a part of the Greater Western Sydney Giants’ academy before the family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona for his father’s work in 2014 and Josh enrolled at Mountain Ridge High School. Once his basketball talent was identified there he transferred to the IMG Academy (Florida) in 2017 and became a five-star draft prospect. In the final game of his high school career, Green led IMG to a national championship victory with a 65–55 win over La Lumiere and was subsequently named MVP of the championship game. He made history in 2019, becoming the first Australia selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Boys Game.

FAMILY: Josh Green is the son of Cahla and Delmas Green. His father played at Oregon Tech, while both of his parents played semi-professionally in Australia. He has three siblings, one of whom, a brother, Jay, played college basketball for the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks.

FIBA EXPERIENCE

Due to his father being born in the United States of America, he qualifies for dual-citizenship there and in Australia, but opted to represent Australia.

Green was first selected for Austalias national basketball team during the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers against Qatar and Kazakhstan in September 2018. However, a torn labrum in his right shoulder prevented him from making his international debut. Greens debut for Australia came in the first round of the 2020 Olympics, in the Boomers opening game against Nigeria. Australia would begin their campaign undefeated, beating Nigeria (84–67), Italy (86-83) and Germany (89–76). Behind the offensive firepower of Patty Mills (19 points), Australia defeated Argentina (97–59) and advanced to the semi finals. There, they lost to a star studded US team (97–78) which featured Kevin Durant (23 points), Devin Booker (20 points) and Jayson Tatum (11 points). Mills (20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists) was again the top scorer for Australia. This set up a game against Slovenia for the bronze medal, where Luka Doncic (22 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists) and Mills (42 points, 3 rebounds, and 9 assists) led their respective countries in scoring, but Australia would make history, winning the game (107-93) and making history by securing the Boomers first Olympic medal. Joe Ingles (16 points and 9 rebounds), Jock Landale (14 points and 5 rebounds) and Matisse Thybulle (11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals) were also key contributors in the medal winning game.

In 2023, Green earned selection to Australias FIBA World Cup squad. The team went on to finish in tenth place, with a record of 3-2.

The following year, Green was selected as a part of the 22-player Boomers squad that prepared for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
