Personal

On March 29, 2006 Green's father, Danny Green Sr., was arrested on drug trafficking charges. New York Police confiscated 462 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated street value of $40 million, $5 million in cash, marijuana and assorted firearms. Green Sr., a gym teacher, said he had no connection to the drug trafficking ring. He pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $7.5 million cash and he remained in jail, maintaining his innocence. After Danny Sr. was in jail for 18 months, a plea bargain was offered him of a lesser charge of conspiracy that would include time served and get him out within six months. He was paroled on January 28, 2008 after serving 22 months in prison.

== Danny Green article peer review == couldn't find the talk page for the Danny Green article so I'll just post it here.

This article on UNC basketball player Danny Green has several strengths. First, the information presented is very neutral and empirical -- only statistics and facts are used to describe Green. Also, it is very straightforward and comprehensible. I have a fairly good idea of what kind of basketball player Green is just from reading the article. However, it would be helpful to learn a little more about Green's background (childhood, recent news, and/or quotes by him or about him, etc). It would also be improved with the addition of a couple of pictures of Green playing basketball to go along with the bio box on the right side of the page. The article also fails to mention Green's father, who has many times gained as much attention as Danny and is a very significant story involving Danny that is not included in the article. Lastly, almost all of the information provided about Green comes from one source -- obviously the article would be better if there were a few more sources for it.
