Danny Green played eight years for the Spurs, including the 2014 team that won the NBA championship. For six of those years, Sean Marks worked in the Spurs front office, being an assistant coach on that same 2014 squad.
So he knows the Spurs and knows Marks and believes whatever “magic” the Spur possess is the result of strict adherence to its first principles: character matters, culture matters, patience matters. Individual character and team culture produce a whole that is often greater than the sum of its parts, Green told Moke Hamilton of The Athletic.
