The Persistence of Danny Green

Posted Jul 14, 2015
Three players have made at least 100 three-pointers on 40 percent shooting for the past four seasons – Danny Green, Kyle Korver and Klay Thompson. Green has made 42.0 percent of his 3-point attempts in his career, the NBA’s 12th-best percentage of all-time. For him to get there, it took a few detours. “You’re going to have doubts when you get cut,” Green said. “But you can use those moment to light a fire under yourself.” (NBA.com)
