Incredible statistic, since over the last decade, Danny Green is the only player to have topped the bar of 500 regular wins. Amazing? If we look at the subject, not so much, since post 2 has always brought a lot to the – excellent – franchises through which it has passed.
Who wants to win millions, here you are in front of the fateful question, a good answer and you win the jackpot. Jean-Pierre Foucault arrives and asks you which of these four players is the only member of the players’ club with more than 500 regular season wins over the last ten seasons. Answer A: Kevin Durant, answer B: LeBron James, answer C: Danny Green, answer D: Stephen Curry. Luckily, you still have the public’s opinion as a bonus, and everyone helps you… not, and puts you on the wrong track. Is this your last word? Too bad, nobody voted for the correct answer, you lose the million euros, because the correct answer was C. Yes, Danny Vert is therefore the only player to have won more than 500 games since the 2011-12 season. This is StatMuse who released the stat yesterday on their Twitter account, and what we can say is that it was quite surprising. But if we take a closer look at his CV, there is nothing really surprising regarding it.

As a Twitter user puts it so well: « [Danny Green] is in the right place at the right time”. Drafted in 2009 in 46th position by the Cavs, the latter began his career with two seasons marked by round trips with the G League, at the time D-League, with even a passage… in Europe at the end of the 2010-season. 11 on the side of Slovenia and Olimpija Ljubljana. After that the Spurs decide to give a full NBA contract to the former North Carolina and the latter joins the starting five of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. Upgrade validated. His eight seasons at Spurs will be very good and full of success, and the namesake of Draymond Green is then recognized as a quality 3&D that the thirty franchises try to tear off during each Free Agency. Even if everyone likes to laugh at him because of his sometimes unconventional shot selection and because of his velociraptor walk on amphetamines, station 2 can answer them with a photo of his three NBA championship rings. One with San Antonio, one with the Raptors, one with the Lakers. Danny brings what is needed to each roster he is part of, he knows his role, does not get out of it and in the end it very often creates beautiful sparks, even if during his visit to Philadelphia the quest for the fourth bagouze did not succeed. Traded to Memphis last week once morest De’Anthony Melton and 2022 23rd pick, position 2 will not play next season for the Grizzlies following his rupture of the cruciate ligaments in the Playoffs. but the figure will therefore not change, making the GM still the – mathematically – most valuable player in the League.
Danny Green is therefore the only member of the magnificent club of players with more than 500 wins in the last ten seasons. The rear close to retirement but with such a prolific profile and such unique success will interest more than one franchise by his last chapter, and if possible one that will want to seek the title at the end of the 2023-24 season. , because Danny Green, it rhymes with winning.
