Lakers Daily: Danny Green praises LeBron's clutch gene "People talk about he's not clutch. He's always showing in those moments, giving his teams a chance to stay in games, win games because he's so clutch."
Players also like the idea of controlling their own narratives. “We are the influencers,” said Paul Pierce, a 48-year-old Hall of Famer. He has three podcasts: “No Fouls Given,” which he records with another former player, Danny Green, for the Playmaker network; “The Truth after Dark”; and “Ticket & the Truth,” which he does with his former teammate Kevin Garnett. Draymond Green, whose podcast is distributed by Audacy, said: “You can talk through different things from an athlete’s perspective and actually have the time to give context that we don’t have in interviews. In a world that’s full of clickbait, a 24-hour news cycle, context is lost often.”
Danny Green says it’s disrespectful what the Memphis Grizzlies did to Ja Morant telling him a hour before not to show up to fan appreciation night: “I think it’s disrespectful to him obviously, but I also think it’s disrespectful to the fans. Like, a fan could have gotten a Ja Morant jersey an interaction. He may not be a fan favorite to you guys, but to the city, to the culture, to the people. His jersey sells. People but it. People want it. People want his signature. Regardless if he’s been successful there as of late or not, he was successful before and he might be successful after. So like somebody would want that jersey. Like that jersey holds value to a lot of fans. And for him individually like an hour before like what do you expect him to do at that point? Go home like you could have notified him hours beforehand. At that point I don’t need to come to the arena if I’m not giving a fan appreciation yall obviously don’t want me here. Do I go home after this? Like all right cool I’ll just go home….. Trying to like take him out of team pictures like you’re trying to banish this man ever existed from this year. Like it’s kind of wild.”

Adam Zagoria: Former UNC standout @Danny Green on Michael Malone on ESPN: 'I'm loving this. I had Michael Malone as a rookie at Cleveland. He was a great X's &O's offensive juggernaut to me, so this is a great hire. I love the situation for him and for us [UNC]. This is the start of something new'
Danny Green: If he gets one, if he even gets one championship with the Lakers because nobody's nobody's banking on them winning a championship. That's not possible. If he gets it done with one and gets a Finals MVP win, him getting it done, I'll put him above Michael Jordan. (…) Mind you, again we're talking about the Lakers win a championship. (…) Paul Pierce: I’m going to tell you what LeBron has done. He's made being the GOAT unattainable now. Because like when you look at it, he put a wall in front of Jordan. Because to like be the GOAT, that means you have to be better than LeBron. Nobody's going to be better. It's just hard to mention it. If Wenby won six championships, you going to be like, well, he's not better than Bron because Bron statistically he’s just so much better than everybody.

Danny Green on Bam Adebayo 83-point night: I didn’t get a chance to watch it live, so when I’m looking at the score I was covering a game. I was like oh sh*t, I know Bam and his people, I’m like, Bam about to do something special. Looking at the third quarter, I’m like, there is no way he stays in the whole game. Like, he can probably get 60 but he is up 20,30 they going to have to sit him out. He stayed in the whole game, he kept going. And I’m like, oh sh*t he got to 80 then 83. I was happy for him, I was genuinely happy for the guy.
Danny Green reacts to Grant Williams’ claim that LeBron James had a penthouse during the 2020 NBA Bubble: “I was in section 8, but they just stopped testing people. So, we called it section 8 cuz it was the hallways that smelled like tree. Sh*t was crazy. The stench was crazy. So, like our hallway, we had JR, you know, he was on the live going crazy. You know what I’m saying? But, you know, we had guys that, like to partake. Yeah. So, my hallway had it. But, you know Bron was right down the hall. We all on the same floor.”

NBA Courtside: Danny Green says if Kawhi Leonard won the 2020 bubble championship they wouldn’t call it a Mickey Mouse ring “They would give them way more respect because it’s Bron because of the Lakers people going to find a way to hate on it. If we had to play them in the playoffs like that series everybody wanted to see. We matched up and they beat us they’d be like oh that’s would have happened in regular season it’s fair and square. Even if Miami would have won like oh they the best team that year. Because the Lakers won even though we’re the best team in the fu*king league that year it was like we’re gonna discredit it”
Danny Green on Paul George: The defensive side, that's what's most impressive to me. Like even though he's not putting up big numbers, there's plays he's involved in where he's getting a deflection or a steal, starting the fast break… For him to still be locked in… because there's a plenty like a ton of guys out there that we know if they're not getting the ball or scoring, they not gonna be playing defense. So, for him at this stage of his career to embrace that role and still be like, ‘All right, I'm cool. I don't need to score’, to still find ways to make winning plays or play defense I think that's big for them. And he's going to be clutch for them in the playoffs if they match up with certain teams. That veteran leadership is going to help a lot.
Danny Green on Lakers COVID title: They called it Mickey Mouse ring, but somebody had to win and we had to play and beat teams four times regardless if it was a bubble or not. And it wasn't easy and regardless of the fact we were the best team in the league that year, the Clippers were the only problem that we had honestly. So even if it wasn't a bubble year, I feel like we still would have won. Q: I think the Clippers were favored to win in the bubble, weren't they? Green: I think they lost the 3-1 series. Denver came back. But Denver again! The teams that people saying got lucky, these were good teams. Denver went to they won a championship after that. Miami went to the finals another year after that. So like it wasn't no flukes.

Danny Green on Kawhi Leonard: Do I think he surpassed Kobe Bryant? No. The body of work that Kobe has done and again… I think he had the tools (to surpass him) if he had stayed healthy. He was one of the best two-way players I've seen play the game. He had injuries that that definitely hurt him. He hasn't played a lot of years. Started focusing more on off court stuff and didn't do as much taking on the challenge defensively. Hasn't won as much. Kobe's got five rings. He's played for 20 years. Kawhi's played probably half that time. As a body work, there's no comparison at all. Now, if you're looking at skill work, Kawhi is one of the most amazing improvements I've ever seen in my life. Like a guy that you'd never seen coming was when he came in to San Antonio, I didn't think he'd be great. Like, he had big shoulders, big hand. I didn't think he would develop into what he is now. So, what they developed him into, unbelievable.
Danny Green: If I'm Giannis Antetokounmpo, I'm looking where I can extend my career and will play the longest and also win. He should really be taking San Antonio into consideration. If he's alongside Wemby and company, they have a lot of pieces and picks to be able to do it. I know Miami is one of the teams that's looking to get him. It's a good city where kind of fair on the State taxes, so you're going to save more of your money there. And it's a major market. I know Toronto is another good city for him that would fit. And some people play with the idea which I would hate to see this, but they could do it. I mean, OKC could do it. They have everybody's picks. They have a lot of pieces. It would make them an unbelievable super team, but nobody wants to see the Durant-Warriors thing all over again. I would think for him like to make his own or have his own path and not just jump on a championship team. He should be considering like San Antonio, Miami, Toronto, like those three teams could be and also Detroit, him and Cade Cunningham could be a nice little mix if they can keep Jalen Duren.
Oh No He Didn't: Danny Green on Cade: "I'm thinking SGA. He's looking like the SGA of the east to me, playing at his own pace, taking his time. What's more impressive to me is how they've gotten wins with him out of the lineup. Question can they win 28 (in a row)? That'll be impressive. If they do that, Cade Cunningham, he might be MVP"
