Danny Green is one of the most notable role players in NBA history.

The former UNC star had his best run with the San Antonio Spurs from 2010-18.

Green recently announced that he is retiring from the NBA after 15 years.

Green captioned his Instagram post: “It’s been one helluva ride…onto the next chapter. Thank you!

One person to react to the news was Green’s former coach Gregg Popovich.

Popovich: “He helped us win championships, and he’s a sweet man. He worked for it. He failed a couple of times here and elsewhere, and he just stuck with it, showed persistence.. On that 101st blow it happened for him. He had a great career from then on. Special guy.”

Green helped the Spurs win the 2014 NBA Championship over LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

He finished his time with the Spurs averaging 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 41.8% from the field and 39.6% from the three-point range in 520 regular season games.

Following the Spurs, Green was able to win two more NBA Championships with the Toronto Raptors (2019) and Los Angeles Lakers (2020).

Over his 15 seasons, Green spent time with the Cavs, Spurs, 76ers, Lakers, Raptors and Grizzlies.

His career averages were 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 42.1% from the field and 40.0% from the three-point range in 832 regular season games.

He also appeared in 169 NBA playoff games.
