San Antonio Spurs' Danny Green sure has come a long way from his days in New York. From the "Big Apple," UNC, the Cavaliers, the D-League to the Spurs, he sure has grown into a solid NBA player and contributor for one of the league's premier franchises.
And even then, Green almost didn't come back to the Spurs heading into last season. Fortunately, the Spurs brought him back and he had one of the best seasons in his young NBA career.
In an interview with Slam Online, Green opened up about becoming the player and man he is today. Here are some of the highlights including his thoughts on his first workout with San Antonio and laughing at coach Pop.
On players he grew up emulating:
SLAM: MJ was the guy who you tried to model your game after?
DG: He was one of them. A lot of other guys, though—I tried to take moves from everybody. Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury. You know Allen had the commercial with his crossover. Even Kobe. A bunch of different guys growing up. Jason Williams, from Sacramento, he was one of my favorites, too. The way he used to pass!
