Danny Green announced his retirement on Thursday, October 10, after winning NBA championships with three different teams.
The 37-year-old swingman shot 40.0% from three-point range over 15 seasons with six franchises.
Green captured titles with the San Antonio Spurs (2014), Toronto Raptors (2019), and Los Angeles Lakers (2020) — becoming one of only four players in NBA history to win championships with three different franchises.
The other three are LeBron James, Robert Horry, and John Salley.
“I’m officially moving on from the game of basketball, the NBA. It’s been a great run,” Green announced Thursday on his podcast. “To me, I’m very proud to be able to walk away from the game. I’m at peace with it.”
Green averaged 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 832 games (709 starts) with the Cleveland Cavaliers (2009-10, 2023), Spurs (2010-18), Raptors (2018-19), Lakers (2019-20), Philadelphia 76ers (2020-22, 2023), and Memphis Grizzlies (2022-23). He appeared in 169 playoff games (159 starts).
Green ranks 32nd in NBA history with 1,892 made three-pointers in the regular season and postseason, according to Basketball Reference.
He made his final NBA appearance with the 76ers on October 28, 2023, playing five minutes off the bench at Toronto.
Green was a second-round pick (46th overall) by the Cavaliers out of North Carolina in the 2009 NBA Draft and made the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team in 2016-17. – Rappler.com
