Gregg Popovich, Danny Green, And The Phone Call That Saved A Career

Posted Jul 22, 2015
In March, 2011 Danny Green was at a crossroads. After winning an NCAA Championship at North Carolina, Green was chosen in the 2nd round (46th overall) by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2009 NBA Draft.

He was signed by the Spurs again, and cut again, seemingly relegating him to a meager future in the D-league or a life of obscurity playing overseas. (BBall Breakdown)
