Danny Green On The Difference Between 2009/10 and 2019/20 LeBron James

In the 2009 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Danny Green with the 46th overall pick. In his rookie season, he played 20 games for the Cavaliers and got to team up with LeBron James.

Green was waived by the Cavs at the beginning of the next season, and his career only really took off two years later with the San Antonio Spurs.

10 years after being teammates for the first time, Green and LeBron are teammates again. The sharpshooter now talked about the differences between 2009/10 LeBron and 2019/20 LeBron.

“He’s still doing the things he was doing in 2009. Obviously, he’s just more mature. He has kids that are older. He’s learned how to win. He’s gone to places and won three titles since then. Back then, obviously he was vocal, but not as vocal as he is now… His IQ was obviously great then and it’s even better now. He knows how to put guys in places to make them successful. He makes the game easy. I think he did make the game easy, but it wasn’t on purpose. It was just him being so great and playing the game. Now he’s making the game easier by putting people in places.”
