Daily News | Danny Green, Doc Rivers have North Carolina ties entering Final Four
When Danny Green recently caught a glimpse of Jay Wright on television, the 76ers veteran wing’s reaction was, “Oh, he’s got a little bit more gray hairs from what I remember when I was younger.”
The Tar Heels, meanwhile, were anchored by three-time All-America big man Tyler Hansbrough and six other future NBA players in Green, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Ed Davis, Larry Drew and Tyler Zeller. Green scored 12 points on 4-of-10 from three-point range in that North Carolina win over Villanova, before totaling 6 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds as his team rolled Michigan State, 89-72, in the national championship game.
Rivers beamed last week when talking about Davis, who was Rivers’ “rook” when they became teammates with the New York Knicks in 1992. To get a North Carolina-Villanova rematch in the national title game, the Tar Heels must first beat bitter rival Duke in legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final March Madness run. Green said he is “excited, but also a little nervous” about that Saturday showdown.
