Spurs’ Danny Green Makes It Look Easy

Posted Nov 29, 2012
Danny Green’s journey hasn’t been easy, but the former Tar Heel has become a starter on one of the best teams in the NBA. A second-round pick in 2009, Green was waived twice before finally sticking with the San Antonio Spurs in March 2011. After the lockout, and with Manu Ginobili out with a hand injury, Green got his first NBA start on February 8, 2012. He has started almost every game since. (Hoops World)
