Raptors star Danny Green hits the court with Winnipeg youngsters

Fresh off the Raptors' roller coaster of anNBA championship win, Danny Green came toWinnipeg to run a two-day basketball camp for kids looking to up their gameand spend some quality time with an NBA star.

As the NBA's free agency period heats up,Green's spent the last two days coaching 200 players aged 8 to 16 at theCanada Games Sport for Life Centre in downtown Winnipeg.

Over the past two days,he's been running drills, doling out adviceand, of course,fielding questions from kids about his and Kawhi Leonard's free agency.

"Some of them had some really good questions," Green told reporters Wednesday afternoon, who kepttight-lipped about his future.

The other questionsincluded how players cantake their game to the next level, andwhy female basketball players don't get as much attention as men.

Raptors fanAyan Abdisigned up for the camphoping to hone her skills as a guard.

"I've learned so many things," she told CBC News."Dribbling, defence, shooting and so many other things."

Like most of the kids there, she remembers the exact moment when the Raptors won Game 6against the Golden State Warriors to take home their first NBA championship.

"I was at home. I was running all over the place," she said.

Hosted by Basketball Manitoba, itwas Green'sfirst time visitingWinnipeg, which he told reporters has"been interesting to say the least."

Green, born in New York state,moved to Toronto just under ayear ago, when he and Leonard were traded to the Raptors from the San AntonioSpurs.

At first, he said he was a little surprised by how much Canadians loved basketball.

"But after being in the season for a month or two, I'm not shocked at all."

Nevertheless, after a year of playing on "Canada's team," he still couldn't tell reporters what's on theloonie or venture a guess as to what Canada's national animal is.

"I was gonnasay otter," he said.
