How Danny Green Found Out He Was On The All-NBA Defensive Team

 

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green has always been an amazing defender. This past season Green was honored by being named a member of the NBA’s All-Defensive 2nd Team, for the first time.

That is a great and well-deserved accomplishment for Green, who found out about it in the most Spurs way possible. Danny Green didn’t get an e-mail or phone call from the league, but he got a phone call from his coach Gregg Popovich. Popovich, in true fashion, jokingly told Green that he wasn’t deserving of the nomination:

 

“I don’t know what I’ve been watching because I’m always on your tail about playing defense, but somebody thinks your a good defender, so enjoy it and eat it up.”
