Danny Green is one happy camper as a Raptor

The Star | October 13, 2018

Danny Green was determined to get to Toronto.

After a summer storm cancelled all outgoing flights from New York, the 31-year-old NBA veteran and two childhood friends had to find another way to Pearson International Airport.

New Raptor Danny Green has been guest coaching in the off-season at the Olympia Sports Camp in Huntsville for a decade. “I fell in love with the whole energy,” Green said of working with youth at the camp. “It’s a lot of fun and gave me real insight on how Canadians were.”

It had only been two weeks since Green was traded to the Toronto Raptors in a blockbuster deal with the San Antonio Spurs, but this August trip was circled on his calendar long before he found out he would be moving to Canada.
