Horace Grant would be a top 10 player in today's league

[Roundball_Rock]

If you watched him and the Bulls play live as I did and also watch current NBA, then you should know what I'm talking about. On a team where he doesn't have the greatest 1/2 punch in Jordan/Pippen in today's soft era, Grant would be a top 10-15 player, and that's being generous.

Grant at his statistical peak was a 15/11 player--and there was no Jordan there. He was the second best player on a contender. He was a good player, a top 25-30 type but he was never a top 10-15 caliber player and would not be in any era.

He would be a very good role player. He was one of the best defensive pfs and a solid rebounder. Offensively he wasnt that good but he was a fine role player.

Anyone else think he reminds u of Taj Gibson a little bit? Maybe better at shooting though

Yes!! Nailed it!

Agree. Bosh, L.A. , Gasol, Blake and Odom are all better. Those of us who watched Grant know not to overrate him. You can tell folk's ages by their responses sometimes.

probably so - grant was beast. it just goes to show how strong the league was back then.

[superteamtheory]

top 10 is going way way too far...

he could be a legit allstar tho just like he was. and like Andre Iguodala, if you can be named an all-star at all, it means you had some comparable level of talent in other years also..

top 10 player in the league
goat rebounder
a durant type player as his 2nd option


and still had to kill his own father for rings

All bball aside, do you realize what you're saying about another random guy?

That's someone's dad that you are saying that about

Like I get the trolling and everything but cmon this is just disrespectful on a human level and especially embarrassing because those all results because of you liking a different player more

Weirdo

Exactly - Horace Grant was an 11/8 player FOR HIS ENTIRE CAREER

11/8 were his averages from 1988-1993 alongside MJ in the regular season and playoffs and also during the championship years only from 1991-1993.

If Horace never played with MJ, he'd just be another of the 10,497 players who are 11/8 that we've never heard of... Horace says so HIMSELF:

"If it wasn't for MJ, I don't think I'd be sitting here right now. I mean, would've had a decent career, but for a leader like that to lead you to 3 championships..."

Horace Grant was a 1-time all-star.. I believe he was an alternate.. His HOF equity is exactly zero... He will never sniff the HOF.

He certainly can't be included in the class of HOF teammates that Magic, Bird, Lebron, Duncan and Kobe had - Pippen belongs with this group, but not Horace:

HOF's McHale/Parish/DJ
HOF's Kareem/Worthy
HOF's Wade/Bosh/Allen
HOF's Parker/Ginobili/Kawhi
HOF's Shaq's Kobe or Kobe's Shaq


Again, Pippen belongs in this group, but it would be ridiculous to include Grant in this group... Which begs the question - how the hell did MJ have the best career out of everyone with JUST PIPPEN?

You include Ray Allen (again...despite being proven a jackass for doing so) but can't include Grant? Yea...ok..

'91-95 Grant >>>> '11-15 Bosh.


Furthermore, '91-95 Pippen-Grant >>>> '11-15 Wade-Bosh.

Not even close my friend.
