The NBA called a halt to all its games on March 11 to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, there has been no definite return date for the league, which makes fans even more eager for the NBA’s comeback. The Los Angeles Lakers were doing well right before the league put a pause on the season. 

The Lakers are standing on top of the Western Conference with the second-best record in the league. Under the everlasting leadership of LeBron James, the Lakers eye their 17th title in franchise history. Apart from the King, the whole roster is confident of achieving glory this season, and Danny Green is one among them. 

Green, a two-time-champion, joined the Lakers in 2019, coming off a title victory with the Toronto Raptors. The shooting guard has taken charge as a role player and is happy to contribute to the team. He recently made an appearance on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ to discuss a variety of topics, including the possibilities of his team finishing first in the 2019-20 NBA season.

The 6-foot-6 guard certainly made his thoughts clear. Aside from the burden shared by LeBron and Anthony Davis, the role players need to put in maximum effort on game nights to achieve the common goal set by the team. Green mentioned himself as a role player and has no hesitation in saying so.

Contributing to the team is all the matters. Doesn’t matter in what way you’re doing it. For Danny Green, the positive impact of role players is bound to help the team largely. If the Los Angeles Lakers are confident about winning the title this year, then it is up to the entire squad to step up and win it for the team.
