Danny Green says that he hopes the people going after him online will use that same passion and anger to fight against injustice in this country, but he understands why people are upset with him.
"It came down to that last play, and I know I'm the easy target."

Here are Danny Green's full comments on the death threats he and his fiancee were receiving on social media over the last two days
Danny Green says that the treatment he's gotten all season from some Lakers fans has already taught him he can't look at social media after losses like Friday's, which is just an astoundingly sad commentary about some members of this fanbase if you think about it.
for the "BuLlYiNg WoRkS" people: This is what the players think of you. And if you think they don't talk about it to other guys in the league, I'd imagine you're wrong.
If you can't be a decent human being just for the sake of it, maybe that argument will sway you.

I'm not an NBA player. But if I can speak to my personal experience for a second: I've had people come after my then-fiancee, now wife on social media because they were mad at my basketball takes, and that's just 1 or 2 people, and it was still an incredibly painful conversation.
I can't even imagine how Danny really feels right now with the volume of stuff he was getting. I hope the majority of you will try to be a bit more positive moving forward. It's one thing to get mad about plays or losses, but death threats or personal attacks are never cool.
