NBA veteran sharpshooter Danny Green announced his retirement on Thursday after 15 seasons as a professional, he announced on his podcast, Inside the Green Room with Danny Green.
"I'm officially moving on from the game of basketball in the NBA," Green said. "It's been a great run. I'm very proud to be able to walk away from the game. I'm at peace with it. I wasn't at first, but I think it was one of those things once I turned 37, the body started reacting a little differently. The mind was also starting to....lose its passion, the same hunger that I had when I was in it.
"When you're away from the game for a year, I hadn't played in a year...trying to play pickup games, trying to I guess show teams that I cam move, that I'm able to do this or do that, I felt like I was overextending myself, which you should when you love the game and you're trying to get a job. But to me, I don't feel like I have much left to prove in that space."
