\"Danny<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Lakers franchise is one of the biggest and most popular worldwide in all of sports. The fanbase stretches across the world and is very passionate, which many don\u2019t realize until they actually join the team. This was the case for Danny Green.<\/p>\n

Green signed with the Lakers in the summer of 2019 and at that point was already a two-time NBA Champion with 10 years of NBA experience. He came to L.A. after spending the previous season with the Toronto Raptors, where he won a championship, and he of course, would add a third ring in 2020 in L.A.<\/p>\n

But nothing could prepare Green for the immediate love he got from the fans upon signing with the Lakers. In an appearance on the\u00a0\u201cAll the Smoke\u201d podcast, Green discussed the love he got from fans:<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s Team. I don\u2019t remember where or when I signed. I think I was in a random ass city, it might\u2019ve been like Orlando. But you realize how many Lakers fans are everywhere. It\u2019s like the Cowboys\u2026 A fanbase, America\u2019s Team. Everywhere we went, everybody\u2019s, \u2018Yo! Thanks for signing with the Lakers.\u2019 I\u2019m in the middle of somewhere I shouldn\u2019t be and Lakers fans. It\u2019s kind of crazy. You get the love right away. Soon as I signed, everybody\u2019s excited. And the lights are different. I think a lot of people, you can see experience that. Even Luka, Russ. It takes some time to adjust to those lights.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The lights and pressure that come with being a member of the Lakers is unlike any other NBA franchise, but it makes the victories and success that much sweeter. As Green said, the lights are different and that is why many players struggle in the purple and gold despite having success elsewhere.<\/p>\n

But this fanbase is as passionate as any in America and the love they have, not just for the stars, but for the role players who were vital in winning championships, is undying.<\/p>\n

Everyone from Michael Cooper and Kurt Rambis to Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Metta World Peace, Sasha Vujacic, Alex Caruso and many others will forever be beloved by Lakers fans and that is something that doesn\u2019t happen everywhere.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time a former Lakers player has referred to them as America\u2019s team as\u00a0Taurean Prince\u00a0and\u00a0Stanley Johnson\u00a0also recently did as well after playing in L.A. for one year each.<\/p>\n

Danny Green discusses pressure of playing with LeBron James on Lakers<\/h2>\n

Danny Green was an ideal teammate beside LeBron James as he was a great shooter and defender that knew his role.<\/p>\n

Green spoke on how easy LeBron made the game for him while with the Lakers, noting how his IQ allowed him to always put Green and the rest of his teammates in their best spots for success. On the flip side though, Green also\u00a0opened up about the pressure of playing with James\u00a0because of his fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
