Danny Green gets new tattoos as tribute to NBA titles he won with LA Lakers and Toronto Raptors
After splashing it in from the outside, Danny Green is now splashing more ink over his heavily tattooed body. The Philadelphia 76ers player added some tattoos, which pay tribute to the NBA championships he won with the Toronto Raptors in 2019 and the LA Lakers in 2020.
Danny Green’s Lakers’ dedication is with the Larry O’Brien trophy tattooed over his arm, with Universal Studios and Lakers logos also showing. The Raptors tribute has been inked along with the CN Tower, the maple leaf and the Raptors’ Claw on the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Danny Green is part of a select group of NBA players who have won back-to-back championships with separate teams. Green has also won a championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, making him part of another elite group of players having won three rings with three separate teams. That group features the likes of LeBron James, Robert Horry and John Salley.
