The Bluedude being a UNC Men's Basketball Follower was a real big fan of Danny Green at UNC, As he flew under the Radar for All-American Teammates Ty Lawson (Point God Nuggets) and Psycho T (Tyler Hansborough Gold Swagger), and even Wayne Ellington (Shooting Guard Cavs) and  Ed Davis (Power Forward Grizzlies) he did all the little things. Green had more of an impact on each and every game as they won the National Championship in 2008-2009. The fact that Green pulled his name out the 2008 NBA Draft along with teammates Ellington and Lawson to comeback for the 2008-2009 season and win the National Championship. Green's Play didn't go completely unnoticed as he was a 2009 #46th Pick 2nd Round by the Cavs and didn't make it past his Rookie Season before being let go.

The Spurs do what some College Programs excel at...Developing Players. Then you say developing on the NBA Level...yes. Green was cut multiple times and played in Europe and the D-League before finally getting his due with the Spurs. He has comeback with a vengeance and only maybe to haunt his former Cavs Teammate LeBron James.

D.G. of AT&T...Danny Green of the SPURS

He also is guarding Wade County and King James and he and Kawhi Leonard are the Spurs best two defenders. He lays his hat on "D" but he is doing what he did at UNC...making plays whether it be diving for the Orange, a Theft in Space, or a key Rebound it's Danny Green being D.G. of AT&T.
