Danny Green, a textbook overachiever, can celebrate freely after NBA finals win
Posted Jun 16, 2014
It seemed laughable when Danny Green considered entering the NBA Draft following a junior season in which he was UNC's sixth man. He returned to school, started for the Tar Heels' national championship team in 2009 and was picked in the second round of the draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Green joins Michael Jordan and James Worthy as the only UNC alums to win NCAA and NBA titles as players.
