Danny Green: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements
Danny Green entered the NBA in 2009 as the 46th overall pick in the draft. He plays the small forward position and has won three NBA championships in his career.
Green was born in 1987 in New York. He initially went to North Babylon High School but later transferred to St.Mary’s. Danny Green earned a strong name for himself as a teenager and was considered to be a four-star recruit upon graduating.
He averaged 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in his senior year and was a McDonald’s All-American in 2005.
After gaining a reputation, Green then joined the University of North Carolina where he began as the sixth man during his freshman year. He pledged his services to UNC for all four years and only then declared for the NBA draft.
Green evolved into a terrific long-range shooter at UNC and gradually rose through the ranks with his talent. He was a member of the starting five when they were crowned NCAA champions.
Furthermore, Green is the only North Carolina Tar Heel to have 1,000 points (1,368), 500 rebounds (590), 200 assists (256), 100 blocks (155), and 100 steals (160).
Danny Green NBA career
After being picked by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2009 draft, the team waived Green after just 20 games. He then joined the San Antonio Spurs in 2010, transferred to the D-League twice, and then re-signed with them again in 2011.
He evolved as an important perimeter defender and honed his shooting skills to become the Spurs’ go-to three-point shooter. During the 2013 NBA Finals, Green broke Ray Allen’s record for most three-pointers made in an NBA finals series with 27 successful 3-pt shots. This record was then bettered by Steph Curry in the 2016 Finals.
Green was then traded to the Toronto Raptors along with Kawhi Leonard after spending seven seasons with the Spurs. He found immense success in his first year in Toronto and his experience helped the franchise scale massive heights.
His three-point shooting proved to be of great value to the team as they made a dominant run to the 2019 Finals where they defeated the Golden State Warriors in six games. After earning his second ring, Green once again made the move and joined a different team, but this time, he spent only one year with the Raptors.
Danny Green signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019 and was offered a two-year contract. After a disappointing rookie Laker season, he helped the team finish atop the Western Conference the following year.
Furthermore, the Lakers won the 2020 championship, which made Green and teammate LeBron James the third and fourth players to win three championships with three different teams after John Salley and Robert Horry.
Then in 2020 off-season, the Lakers traded Danny Green alongwith a first-round draft pick to gain Dennis Schroder. Later, the OKC sent Danny to the Sixers in an exchange of multiple players.
