After nearly leading Spurs to title, Danny Green is confident

Posted Feb 7, 2014
If only there were an "Almost Most Valuable Player Award," Danny Green would be holding the trophy.

And had the Spurs won, there was a solid chance he would have been the MVP. That it didn't happen does not haunt Green. It encourages, inspires and motivates him. (Newsday)
