Danny Green was a key piece to North Carolina’s 2009 national championship team, helping the Tar Heels capture Roy Williams’ second title.
The forward spent four seasons at North Carolina as a big recruit in that 2005 class that also included Tyler Hansbrough, Marcus Ginyard, Mike Copeland and Bobby Frasor. Following his college career, Green had a successful NBA career spending 15 seasons in the league.
And now at 37 years old, Green is saying goodbye to basketball.
Green has retired from basketball on Thursday, posting a message to social media to say goodbye. The forward developed into a three-point sharpshooter as well as a really good defensive player in the league. Over his career, Green shot 40 percent from the three-point line making a total of 1,577 three-pointers, ranking 43rd in NBA history.
While Green was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, he spent one season there before joining the San Antonio Spurs. With the Spurs, Green won his first NBA title in 2014. He then won a title with the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers in 2019 and 2020.

Over the course of his NBA career, Green averaged 8.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 832 games.
