Veteran guard Danny Green had a Tony Snell-like stat line against the Orlando Magic. Or so it seemed.

Danny Green had a bizarre game against the Orlando Magic recently. The 34-year-old ended the night with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 against, 0 steals, 0 blocks, along with 0/2 shooting in 24 minutes of play. The man basically put on his 76ers jersey and went for a jog in an NBA game.
This notable night made the 3x NBA champion part of a very small ‘zero’ club of players who have achieved the same type of feat. Players that include the likes of legendary Tony Snell. However, Green’s embarrassment was quite short-lived.
Just hours later, it was reported that the NBA has corrected the stat line for the night. The league attributed 1 steal to Danny Green’s name.
NBA Twitter was distraught as they robbed him of being part of the Tony Snell club. However, this did allow him to be part of another one. What was it? Read on and find out….
NBA Twitter reacts as Danny Green now part of exclusive ‘1-steal’ club including only LiAngelo Ball.
Danny Green would have been able to go down as one of the few men to play more than 20 minutes and do absolutely nothing on the stat sheet! Now, in the eyes of history, he’s just another bozo that could only muster one steal.
In fact, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball’s brother LiAngelo Ball has done the same. The only difference is that LiAngelo did so off the court. Let me explain, the young star was caught shoplifting a pair of sunglasses while on a trip to China.
So, now LiAngelo is defined as getting 1 steal on the road while posting zeros across the stat sheet.
NBA Twitter was quick to point the similarity in stat lines between Danny Green and LiAngelo Ball, albeit they were different kinds of ‘steal’. Check out a few reactions here:
