Former NBA champion Danny Green is bringing his love of the game back to his Texas roots with a free basketball camp scheduled for July 29 in Laredo.
The camp, open to boys and girls from first through twelfth grade, will feature skill drills, a question‑and‑answer session, photo opportunities and autograph signings, giving youngsters a rare chance to meet a three‑time NBA champion.
A Community‑Focused Event
Green, who spent eight seasons with the San Antonio Spurs before stints with the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Lakers, has a long history of giving back to Laredo. In past visits he has handed out Christmas presents and organized youth clinics, earning a reputation as a beloved local figure.
The initiative is made possible through the sponsorship of Laredo Emergency Room, a local health provider that has consistently supported Green’s community projects. The partnership underscores a shared commitment to youth development and healthy living.
Green described Texas as a place he calls home and Laredo as a welcoming city, expressing excitement about returning to a community that has embraced him for years.
Participants can look forward to hands‑on instruction, personal interaction with the veteran player and the chance to take home memories from a true NBA legend.
Beyond the court, Green’s three‑time championship pedigree with the Spurs, Raptors and Lakers serves as an inspiration, showing that dedication and teamwork can lead to success on the world stage.
The free camp reflects a broader trend of NBA alumni giving back to their hometowns, using sport as a vehicle for mentorship, education and community cohesion.
