Filipino basketball fans got an exclusive chance to meet three-time NBA champion Danny Green, the “Green Ranger,” at the vivo x National Basketball Association (NBA) Meet and Greet on March 13, 2026 at the vivo Concept Store in SM Megamall.
Green didn’t just sign autographs; he shared the lessons that carried him through a 15-year NBA career and into sports media. “There’s no real secret to it,” he said, leaning in like he’s telling you a personal tip. “Don’t take no for an answer. You have to be persistent and consistent in your work.”
The message hit home with the 25 lucky fans present, all snapping photos with the vivo V70 5G. Its 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera and AI Stage Mode made it effortless to capture every winning smile, every handshake, and every groufie moment with the NBA champion.
From the court to your feed
Green, who won NBA titles with the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and Los Angeles Lakers, has transitioned into broadcasting as an analyst for ESPN and Spectrum SportsNet and now hosts Inside the Green Room.
“As a player, preparation is about performance,” he explains. “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.”
Fans hung on every word, because Green wasn’t just talking trophies; he was talking lessons you can apply anywhere in life.

Green was also impressed by the energy of Filipino 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.
The excitement wasn’t limited to just the lucky fans who asked questions. Attendees like Glenmarc “Flash” Antonio, Sports Director of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), shared their appreciation for the event.
“It’s always nice to meet winners who’ve done it at the highest level. It’s always nice to see somebody that kids can look up to. We’re very thankful to vivo for being able to bring in NBA stars like Danny Green and hoping for more in the future.”
