Danny Green thinks the Spurs messed up.
The San Antonio champion, who was part of the team’s title-winning team in 2014, sounded off on the firing of team play-by-play man Jacob Tobey amid his alleged affair with Loren Waters — the sister of Spurs player Lindy Waters III.
While Tobey has been in the headlines for his behavior, Green called him a “really good dude” and said his private decisions did not merit the Spurs firing him.
“I love everything the Spurs do and how they operate as an organization,” Green said on his “No Fouls Given” podcast. “They run a tight ship. They don’t deal with no BS, and they don’t like drama, so I understand certain issues. They’re going to be like, ‘No, we can’t allow this.’ To me, this was not one of those issues.”
Sports talk host Colin Cowherd also recently questioned the Spurs’ firing of Tobey.
Green, who spent eight years with the Spurs, added that he was “really disappointed” by the decision.
“This is not a domestic violence case,” he continued. “He didn’t beat anybody up. He wasn’t loitering or DUI or anything crazy. You know he has a relationship that is behind closed doors, this is his personal life.”
Tobey’s personal life became public when his now ex-girlfriend appeared to take over his Instagram account and exposed his alleged relationship with Waters on his Instagram story.
“This is my girlfriend of six years,” the post read. “But I cheated on her with Loren Waters. So feel free to continue following me if you really think I’m a good guy because I’m not. :)”
Tobey’s ex-girlfriend then shared a photo, which appeared to show the broadcaster and Waters kissing.
Green, though, wasn’t sure the Spurs followed the fairest process in Tobey’s dismissal.
“We don’t know what the timetable of it was, if he was with this girl or not, or if he was even dating his girl at the time while he was with this girl,” the former sharpshooter said.
“His girl could have made it up, and she hacked his social media, and she wanted to ruin his life, and you allowed that to happen.”
Tobey has not yet commented on the situation and has made both his Instagram and X accounts private.
