MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Filipino basketball fans were treated to a memorable experience as three-time NBA champion Danny Green, known to many as the “Green Ranger,” met fans during the Vivo x National Basketball Association (NBA) Meet and Greet on March 13, 2026, at the Vivo Concept Store in SM Megamall.
The exclusive event gave 25 lucky fans the rare opportunity to meet the NBA veteran up close. Green didn’t just sign autographs and pose for photos; he also shared valuable insights from his 15-year NBA career and his journey after professional basketball.
“There’s no real secret to it,” Green said while sharing advice with fans. “Don’t take no for an answer. You have to be persistent and consistent in your work.”
Fans eagerly captured the memorable moments using the Vivo V70 5G. Equipped with a 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera and AI Stage Mode, the smartphone made it easy for attendees to photograph every smile, handshake, and groufie with the NBA champion.
From the court to the broadcast booth
Green, who won NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and Los Angeles Lakers, has transitioned into sports media after retiring from professional basketball. Today, he works as an analyst for ESPN and Spectrum SportsNet and hosts the show Inside the Green Room.
“As a player, preparation is about performance,” Green explained. “As a broadcaster, I remind myself who I’m working for before I go on air—the fans watching and trying to understand the game.”
For many fans present, hearing Green share personal experiences and life lessons made the event even more meaningful.
Filipino basketball passion
Green also expressed admiration for the enthusiasm of Filipino basketball fans.
“I was very overwhelmed by the passion that Filipino fans have for the game. You can really feel how much people love basketball here,” he said.
Among the attendees was Glenmarc “Flash” Antonio, Sports Director of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), who expressed gratitude to Vivo for bringing international basketball stars to the country.
“It’s always nice to meet winners who’ve done it at the highest level. It’s inspiring for young people to see someone they can look up to. We’re thankful to Vivo for bringing NBA stars like Danny Green and we hope to see more in the future,” he said.

A champion’s mindset
Beyond the photos and fan interactions, Green left attendees with a powerful reminder.
“Don’t be afraid to fail and make mistakes. That’s how you learn and improve,” he told the crowd. “There’s no dream you can’t accomplish if you put your mind to it.”
