A key piece of the Toronto Raptors championship team has announced his retirement.
Danny Green was taken 46th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2009 NBA draft. He’d spend one season with The Land before moving on to the team that made him famous, the San Antonio Spurs. Green would spend eight seasons with the franchise, winning a championship ring in 2014.
Heading into the 2018-2019 NBA season, Green was traded alongside Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors, where the two would help win the organization’s first ever NBA Championship. He’d then sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, win another championship in 2020, before bouncing around the league the last few years.
Why are we talking about Danny Green on a Milton radio station? Because for months, a Google commercial played on television that featured Raptors play-by-play man Matt Devlin using his trademark geographic call “Danny Green from [Insert Canadian Town/City],” only this specific commercial used Milton as the location!
Green would ask Google where Milton was, and when the Google Home would describe Milton as being 44kms away, Green would then ask, “what’s a kilometre?”
Congrats to Danny Green on an excellent career, and hopefully he made a pit stop in Milton before taking off for Los Angeles.
