[1] He was also part of the national team that won gold in 1967 ABC Championship and earned the berth for the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico.

While donning the national team colors, he also played in the MICAA via the YCO Painters in the late 1960s, which was coached by no less than the great Caloy Loyzaga.

Florencio played in the PBA from 1975 to 1983 with the U/Tex Wranglers, the Toyota Super Corollas, 7-Up, and the Galerie Dominique Artistas.

[3] Though generously listed as 5'10", he stood 5'9" at the most, but he distinguished himself with daring drives to the hoop capped by never-before-seen hangtime moves and twisting undergoal stabs.

His aerial feats earned him the nicknames "Daredevil Danny" and, decades after hanging up his sneakers, the "Original Skywalker", in reference to the more popular Samboy Lim, who admitted idolizing Florencio.
