After an impressive 15-season career, the three-time NBA champion, Danny Green has announced his retirement, marking the end of a significant chapter for someone recognized for his shooting skills and leadership. He announced his decision during an episode of his podcast, reflecting on his journey and expressing happiness about stepping away from the game.
Danny Green leaves behind a strong legacy, having won NBA championships with three different teams: the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, the Toronto Raptors in 2019, and the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. “I’m officially moving on from the game of basketball, the NBA. It’s been a great run,” he stated. “To me, I’m very proud to be able to walk away from the game. I’m at peace with it.”
Throughout his career, Green impressed everyone with his shooting, finishing with a 40% success rate from beyond the arc. He played for six teams: the Cleveland Cavaliers (2009-10, 2023), San Antonio Spurs (2010-18), Toronto Raptors (2018-19), Los Angeles Lakers (2019-20), Philadelphia 76ers (2020-22, 2023), and Memphis Grizzlies (2022-23).
Over his time in the league, he averaged 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 832 games, with 709 of those being starts. In the playoffs, he appeared in 169 games (159 starts), ranking ninth in NBA history with 315 playoff three-pointers.
Danny Green’s Journey And Future Plans
Green’s career had its challenges. He faced injuries, including a severe ACL and LCL tear in 2022 that limited his appearances in the following seasons. Despite this, his hard work and determination helped him become one of the few players to make over 1,500 three-pointers while maintaining a 40% shooting percentage.
Looking ahead, Green is excited about his future plans, including endorsements. First, he intends to focus on his broadcasting career. Additionally, he aims to develop the GreenLight venture fund, which supports innovative entrepreneurs, and plans to expand his mentorship program, Between the Lines.
He also plans to continue his involvement in The Throne basketball tournament in partnership with the National Basketball Players Association. “I’m excited for the next chapter, the next journey,” he concluded, leaving fans and fellow players eager to see what he will achieve next.
