After 15 years in the NBA and three championship rings, Danny Green is calling it a career. Shams Charania broke the news today, even before Green could announce it on his own podcast, Inside The Green Room With Danny Green. Known as one of the most successful second-round picks in NBA history, Green’s career stands out in a league where longevity is rare. From his early days to becoming a crucial piece on title teams, Green leaves behind a legacy of resilience and style.
Following the announcement, fans took to social media to celebrate the 6’6” sharpshooter’s legacy. But amidst the praise, a surprising subplot emerged: fans turning their frustration on Joel Embiid. After Green was waived by the Philadelphia 76ers last November, he never played another NBA minute, leading some fans to point fingers at Embiid. “Embiid really did end his career,” one fan wrote on X, a comment that quickly gained traction among disappointed fans.
As tributes pour in for Green’s incredible journey from second-round pick to three-time NBA champion, the blame game over his retirement is adding a layer of unexpected tension. This story is still developing, and it’s clear that, even in retirement, Danny Green remains a topic of intrigue.
