Danny Green takes strange path to San Antonio Spurs’ starting lineup

Posted Jun 13, 2013
Danny Green is quite a shooter. You don’t make 16 of 23 3-pointers in the NBA Finals without skills. But that might not be the most important element in his journey from decent player at North Carolina to starter for a San Antonio Spurs team that leads visiting Miami 2-1 entering Thursday’s game. Green is a really good listener, even when told things that aren’t fun to hear. (Charlotte Observer)
