Danny Green has sent a lovely gift to the adorable 94-year-old lady who’d listed her favorite players from every NBA team. 

Danny Green can get a lot of flack at times. But the fact of the matter is, the player is a 3-time NBA champion and one of the best sharpshooters in the NBA right now. More than that though, he is a player that is humble and has a heart of gold.

Recently, a picture was posted on Twitter of a 94-year-old woman who had noted down her favorite player from every NBA team. And for the Philadelphia 76ers, the woman had written down the name of Danny Green.

In return, the player sent a heartwarming gift to the woman, which has since gone viral on Social Media.
