AC Green: That particular morning, the one thing that I will always remember, not just the announcement, but Magic asking me to come into one of our little private side rooms and saying I just need to get out of that atmosphere for a moment and let’s say a prayer. It wasn’t abnormal because he and I both had a common bond, a very religious background and upbringing through our parents so that was sort of a common thing for us. It was something that meant a whole lot to him. Sports Radio Interviews

AC Green on whether or not he noticed guys acting different after Johnson’s announcement: “I noticed that a lot of guys were more aware of what they were doing and thinking a little more responsibly about what they were thinking about doing or in the middle of doing. It brought a greater awareness to the world, to our profession. At that time, in the next month, condom sales through Trojan had reached an all-time high. There was a big, big impact of people thinking about okay if this can happen to him, is it possible this can happen to me?” Sports Radio Interviews

MT: Who were some of the other more notable tough guys you’ve had in your 27 years as the team’s trainer? Vitti: Derek Fisher. Michael Cooper. A.C. Green. All Iron Men. These guys were tough, man, they played no matter what. And there were a lot of guys, so you hate to single guys out. But I’ll tell you who was a tough kid: Chris Mihm. As bad as his situation was, that kid went out and tried. NBA.com

What takes most of your time these days? AC Green: I spend time with the A.C. Green Youth Foundation. Our history is at acgreen.com. It's been 22 years now. In Phoenix, there are 18 schools in Maricopa Country that we have my curriculum inside and teaching on a daily basis. Being there 10 years and having a residence there is phenomenal in where the game of basketball is and how life changes. Arizona Republic
