One quality that embodies Warriors forward is passion. It shows in his play on the court, his dealings with the media and his actions off the hardwood.
Three years ago, Green was a successful college player at Michigan State but the popular opinion was that his basketball career would hit a roadblock because he didn’t have a true position in the NBA. Fast forward to today, and he is an integral member of a championship team who has signed a multi-year deal with the team who selected him with a second round draft pick in 2012.
There’s no question that Green’s passion is one of the reasons he is where he is today, and that is in position to make the most generous donation that an active athlete has ever given to his alma mater. The Warriors forward has pledged $3.1 million to Michigan State, a donation that will help support both athletic and academic efforts on the college campus.
As you can tell in the video below, his love and appreciation for Michigan State is 100 percent genuine, and to anyone who is familiar with the versatile forward, this act of passion is anything but a surprise.
