'Danny being Danny' now a good thing for UNC
Posted Jan 31, 2009
“Danny being Danny.” Those words made for the best conversation topic during Friday’s men’s basketball press conference in UNC’s Smith Center, where Roy Williams, Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Green spoke to members of the media. The phrase, uttered by Williams about Green, brought to mind “Manny being Manny” – the phrase Red Sox fans used for years to explain Manny Ramirez. It meant, in short, you really can’t explain him.
