There’s a conversation that Stephen A. Smith started. He’s saying that people don’t want to go to Memphis because it’s dangerous — like it’s a gang-gang over there, right? Danny Green: Yeah, I mean, he’s not far off. I don’t think that’s the reason why, though. I just don’t think it’s a destination city. Nashville is one of the cities that people enjoy. Memphis — it is in Tennessee, so you get a tax cut. Like, it’s good on taxes. But it’s just not a city that’s pretty, I guess. Host: You played there. Do you get that danger vibe? Danny Green: Nah. In certain areas, you’ve got to be careful. But I didn’t think it was the most dangerous. I also played in Philly. Exactly. There are so many cities in America. Like, I think — yeah, if they know you, they respect you. If you know what you’re doing, know where you’re going — obviously don’t do silly things. Don’t go into certain places by yourself at certain times of day or night. But the city usually respects the players. -via YouTube / June 22, 2025
