Horace did not “have to” leave the Bulls. He chose to leave the Bulls in free agency. BTW I live in Chicago & once in 1991 or 1992, Horace pulled into a gas station where I was filling my tank. He got out of his car & asked me how to get to the University of Illinois at Chicago arena. We were only 5-6 blocks away, I described the best route to him & he couldn’t have been more polite and more sincerely appreciative.
He was one of the reasons Lakers was so great that 2000-01 year. He solved the PF problem, someone tough to play along Shaq, helped out with the rebounding. Relieved Shaq. He and Horry made a great pair at PF.
Pastor Charles Smith You guys have the Kevin Love syndrome. A guy has to be tough, sound tough , a guy shouldn't even say another guy looks healthy or is in a good shape. What is freakin wrong with saying someone looks young or healthy ??? I'm not supposed to say it because it sounds gay ? Are you serious ? But your know what, Kevin Love asked for Help. Maybe you should try to.
Luxury Brown yeah you took all that from that mans one sentence? I could go so far as to think you dont respect his opinion because you assume hes white and i assume youre black and you said that because you assume what he said was stereotypical.. racially...i assume.pretzel logic.
I loved watching Grant back in the day. Fantastic ball player. Deserves to be 1st ballot hall of fame, even if just for longevity. Damn, every time I turned on a game for 20 years almost, Grant was doin damage on the TV. Badass ball player, a real dog. I know this be 3 yrs late, but just came across this.
I love Horace... I discovered him in 1991 (when French Tv began to broadcast NBA matches). Since i remember how he was a sober, effective and dedicated player... Old times good times.. I miss this era...
Nothing but deep respect for Horace!!! Such a kind and entertaining guy with this big level of Basketball mind. Just wow.. I could listen to him all day....
Shout out to Horace Hes a great guy! Gave my Grand Mother his shoes after the game in the 93 finals! The bulls era is the best era in basketball!!!!!! Those guys were my Idols back in those days when I was on my journey to the NBA!
You could put any team of legends with Jordan, and they will all concede that Jordan is their leader and their best player. That is the difference, there is no grey area, or unknown, it was just a fact. That is why those teams with Shaq had issues. They couldn't work it out. That shit needs to be worked out. Jordan made sure Pippen knew and accepted his role, and he accepted his challenge openly. But Pippen knew Jordan was better so he had to play 2nd man, but he didn't go crying about it to another team. That is a true man and Legend right there. So many other players are little bitches, not Pippen, not Horace. Class and value all the way.
Pippen did most of the dirty work and was instrumental in creating the dynasty.He's one of the best two- way players in NBA History,and several pundits consider him the greatest defender of all time.Jordan and Pippen were seemingly always connected on the court and knew how to dominate a game both offensively and defensively.Jordan and Pippen trained with each other to be the best.They have a high level of respect for each other on the court.Everyone could see the chemistry they had on the court as well.Jordan and Pippen are recognized as the greatest duo in NBA History
I met Horace when he played with the Bulls,a very humble gentleman and classy as well we walked around The China Club and he had a lovely young lady with him and he treated me like I was a friend or a teammate such a 😎🆒 guy.GOD BLESS you and yours and Horace hope Harvey is doing well ❤️ GOD
If you watch Horace Grant's highlight tape - it's all dunks from Jordan assist. But Horace ran the floor, rebounded well, was athletic, played defense and could hit open shots
Steven Feinberg His interior defense also bailed Jordan out repeatedly when Jordan gambled for a steal and got beat by his man, which happened quite frequently.
Haters like Enyinwa will never ever feel the Joy of watching someone who is a once in a lifetime player,. Until now no one can do those MJ hangtime moves as consistent as MJ did. that dude gave the FANS more than what they PAID FOR,. played all 82 games MOST of his career,. insisted on playing even if there was a RISK to be REINJURED,.the NBA had to CHANGE rules that would allow PLAYERS to be able to Score like MJ but still no one ever came Close,. No matter how you TWIST things, you might never again see someone so GREAT he CATAPULTED an ENTIRE League into a GLOBAL CRAZE,. Jordan never went for the stats,. he was playing to compete and Dominate, not to pile stats..the dude retired at his PEAK because there was no more competition and he felt he was losing the LOVE for the game,. came back and dominate again, the retired again,. he never chased for the stats,. Basketball, and competition in general, is about being a CHAMPION,. ASIDE from TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS, Jordan was ALSO 10x SCORING CHAMPION and 3x STEALS CHAMPION,,players like Lebron can have their STATS but Jordan is the definition of a CHAMPION,. if anthony davis can Play until his 50s, he will pass Kareem, Jordan, Lebron and all the other Great Players in accumulated STATS LOL,. Last time i checked, Karl Malone's accumulated STATS were BETTER than Jordan's therefore Karl Malone is Better than Jordan. what did nietchze said? “Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.”.. 10x scoring champ, 3x steals champ and a couple of 3peats,..let that sink in and accept reality,. no one has ever came close to what Jordan did as a PLAYER.. the dude had done it all, he lost, he got injured, he got swept, he persevered. he BEAT them "OLD" PISTONS who had isiah at 29, rodman at 29, dumars at 27. He BEAT an 31 year OLD HIV magic who still averaging the same STATS and who don't have kareem anymore. STILL, he BEAT THEM,.
"Jordan never went for the stats," You were spouting a lot of GARBAGE like "Jordan catapulted the NBA into a global craze" (more people knew Magic than Jordan in Jordan's prime) because Magic brought JOY to the game and Jordan meanness and vindictiveness and "revenge" a word coined for Jordan himself, but I had to laugh out loud when I read you saying "Jordan never went for the stats", which is about as dishonest a comment as ever. In fact, the BULLS didn't start wining until Phil Jackson pried the ball from Jordan's greedy fingers. Then, Jordan just settled into fighting EVERYBODY, including several of his teammates and opponents when he did not get his way. And, for good measure, he began berating, dissing, insulting and antagonizing his opponents, referees, and league officials. The stories of Jordan cheating his friend's mom in a game of cards when he invited him to their home says all there is to say about this HORRIBLE human being you have chosen to admire and worship. It's your choice, of course.
NAH, you a hater and i pitty you LOL,. no player, not even today, can do those AIR jordan moves night after night LOL,. even players and coaches are in AWE with those Moves,. one game from him can provide enough top ten plays for a week LOL,. Jordan was tasked to play point guard and he averaged 8 assists before Phil came and you say Phil PRIED the BALL from HIM? He is a SYSTEM player Under DEAN SMITH,. the Moment he had a REAL TEAM behind him, he never Lost in the FINALS. he won a championship with a 17pt per game Pippen as his next best OFFENSIVE team mate,. You say jordan started fighting his team mates, how ironic, he won a 3peat with those TEAMMATES, including Bill Cartwright LOL,. Look at KYRIE leaving Lebron, Look at Isiah thomas getting his ass kicked out of cleaveland coz of Lebron LOL,.look at pippen egging Jordan to comeback LOL. You don't retire from the game at your PEAK if you were after the STATS LOL,. you forgetting BULLS reached ECF with doug collins LOL,. what jordan needed were TEAMMATES who can MEET his DEMANDS to WORK as HARD as HIM, LOL.. as opposed to lebron wanting Larry Hughes coz Larry Played GREAT in 2005,.getting Mo Williams coz mo had a great season in milwaukee, wanting Jameson coz jameson was Great in 2009, leaving cavs for miami coz bosh and wade are MVP candidates in 2010,. Jordan only demanded HARDWORK,. he brought out the BEST out of his teammates by making them work as hard as him LOL,. Jordan punches his teammates in the FACE and WINS a 3peat with them LOL,.and i am not admiring Jordan as a Person,. i LOVE watching him PLAY,. You are attacking Jordan's CHARACTER coz you know his game had no weakness,. Larry called him a GOD and admitted that if Jordan had a TEAM like his, mj would beat the celtics LOL,. YOU probably the ONLY one who won't acknowledge Jordan as the One responsible for NBA becoming a GLOBAL CRAZE LOL,. only REAL BASKETBALL FANS will appreciate those assists from Magic,. if you are a Casual, it wouldn't excite you as much as seeing someone SCORING,.in a HIGHLIGHT kind of manner,. Jordan getting cheered by FANS in the OPPONENTS homecourt isn't proof enough for you how JOYFUL it is to watch Jordan,. DAMN, Lebron had to wear number 6 in miami because the president of that TEAM had so much respect for Jordan as a Player,. Patt Riley was a Frequent Victim of Jordan's "character" but he acknowledge him as a PLAYER,. you are just a HATER
Horace was a beast, his stats were nice, even being a role player for the Lakers...played with the best...Jordan relied in him in the early 90's for that 3 peat...his brother could hoop to...
I love how Horace gives credit to Penny. Me and many others of my generation I've talked to still feel robbed Penny and Grant got hurt so badly. Those two guys were suppose to be the ones carrying the torch. Not Kobe and not AI... as GREAT as they were in their own rights
Different Era different rules but No Doubt MJ is de Best & I'm a Lakers fan. Grew up idolizing 🙌🏼MJ Shoes, Shorts Jersey grew up in LA tho #BeLikeMike 👏🏻😉 Kobe is a Goat in his own mind went out like no other NBA players in History every night was a farewell Kobe tour😀👏🏻
'91 Bulls were 15-2 in the playoffs (swept the Knicks 3-0 first round; went 4-1 against the 76ers in the ECSF; swept the Pistons 4-0 in ECF; went 4-1 against the Lakers in the Finals) nice interview... always enjoy Bill Simmons interviews
The Bulls could’ve gone undefeated in the postseason. Philadelphia’s Hersey Hawkins hit a game-winning 3-pointer in the closing seconds of Game 3 and the Lakers’ Sam Perkins did the same in the opener of the ‘91 Finals.
Grew up in the 90s and was a huge Lakers fan....The one team that scare the shit out of me was Blazers during the 89-92 years. One of the best ever. Till this day I couldnt believe my lakers beat them to meet MJ in the finals.
grant was one of thee greatest defenders ever. he was the first athletic big who cold switch and handle smaller gaurds. thats a big eason why they were dominant, same with rodman, now the warriors have draymond... rockets had hakeem do the same thing, young tim duncan, ben wallace, chandler
when they were younger they could. do you know tyson chandler was drafted as a small forward? they werent to the level of the other guys but they could switch enough times or at least contain gaurds on the pick and roll
Mo Overall Fitness Hacks Chandler was a beast and was drafted to play center. He was very good at switching to gaurds and running the floor and to corners. He is however, not a switch defender. He cannot be expected to gaurd every position like a lot of modern elite defenders, even in his new york, Dallas prime.
John Morris when lol? No he wasn't. Can you guys at least provide some evidence? No. He's a defensive anchor. Here's an article that will explain his skill set: www.si.com/nba/2014/12/17/tyson-chandler-craft-mavericks-bulls-hornets. I love tyson chanler, he's not a switch defender.
Class is personified in his humble spirit. This era of basketball craves the the three ball. And all these patty cake hand shakes and feminine dances or skits. In that bulls era it was about redemption of the bullied bulls maturing into the Dominant gate keepers of a (masculine) tuff league. Im glad I was privileged to (experience) see it. I have no clue on what this era will represent. Im optimistic but realistic at the same time. Looking forward to the day this Bulls (warrior)is in the hall of fame. You can tell by his shine and youthful glow he is Blessed regardless.
John Smith Todays NBA is shit, commercial cash crop for a shit product..Pure 3's no defense, bitch ass handshakes, egoistic, egotistical fucks...Klay pops a three and walks away, curry pops a three and dances like a bitch...
Matt Harpring,Mark Madsen,Michael Doleac, were bruisers.good guys in the league who weren't bullies at all.they would not be disrespected by no player.hats off to those 3.💪😎🏀
Penny was dope. And he was my favorite player to watch while MJ was playing baseball. But Kobe and Penny are two different players. Kobe was a fucking beast. That killer instinct that he had can only be matched by MJ.
I still don't understand that rhetoric that Portland "never had a chance" in '92....they were one of the only ones to even get the Bulls to a 2-2 series....and then were up 15 points in the 4th Quarter in Game 6....if anything Portland largely controlled the series after Game 1....they just choked at the end.
That's true. In Hebrew, the name Michael Jordan literally means: ONE LIKE GOD WHO HAS DESCENDED. And that's was Jordan was to fans, a basketball god. Not to mention that Jordan was the only tall person in his family with his older brothers beings 5'4" and 5'5". Very short, but Michael grew to 6'6". He and his mom prayed for this. I believe their prayers were answered so Jordan would fulfill his earthly destiny.
Man, when MK retired the first time, I wasn't a fan of SHAQ because I just felt like MJ was poetry in motion while SHAQ was just a big ass dude breaking stuff. I never really watched his games but I wasn't all the familiar with Penny but just paused and watched his highlights... my goodness was he scary. Mustve been amazing to be a Magic for for those couple years.
I remember Horace's great defense on Karl Malone. It was always a block party lol. When Malone would try and shoot over grant either him or pippen would throw it in other direction.Good shot from 10 to 15 feet as well.
People forget the power forwards he had to contend with in the west: Sheed, Malone, Duncan, Garnett, and Webber. In the prior season AC Green was too small to deal with them
Hey let's remember Van Gundy change a rule in basketball with the Flop one of the greatest announcers ever with Bill Simmons Hall of Famers both don't even think about it then you got to watch Mark Jackson with his snide freaking comments he's at least a level below Van Gundy as a Class Act Van Gundy
Shaq put up video game numbers against the Bulls. And a healthy Orlando team could’ve gave the Bulls a run for there money the following year. People seem to forget how unstoppable Shaq was offensively/defensively especially in the playoffs.
Shaq averaged 25 pts, 13 rebounds 1.9 blocks in 21 games against Jordan and that includes 2 games when Jordan was a Wizard. Those are hardly video game numbers. And I'm not even gonna mention Rodman vs Shaq
Mike g MJ came back from Baseball common. Tou are just being a hater. The guy retired and return. Loose in the conference finals and get mad, next season they won 72 games and the finals. Lmao the GOAT BY FAR
Hemeregildo Ruperez because i state a fact I'm a hater?? Lol. Wait here's another fact, jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs without Scottie. Jordan is the 2nd best player to me. Does that make me a hater? Lol
Bill Simmons Hates Kobe & Shows It Every Chance He Gets!! Kobe Much Better Than Penny. Jordan Was 26ish When Phil Took Over & Kobe Was 21 Thats Not The Same Age SMH. Kobe Top 5 Ever
Pj Mills Top5? Lmfao Kobe wasn’t the best player on his own team. Top10/Top15 is more realistic. Kobe without another star player wouldn’t even make the playoffs or got knocked out of the first round. Chill with all that top5 crazy talk. But crack is a hell of a drug so I’ll give you a pass.
HOFamer that's my Guy Y'all Forgot he saved the Game in Phoenix even thou it was a Foul they Didn't call it when he Blocked Kevin Johnson from Behind look at the Tape
lol. Gunning for a record, sissy rules and no chip VS, just getting the record because they wanted to crush all teams because the didnt win the chip the year before and a Chip to cap it. Big difference.
Iv Naum Go listen to Jordan saying he sees Penny as the only young player in the league that can be on his level. Do your research,Penny was fucking amazing.

For me Grant was a very important part of the winning bulls, and I was really sad when he had to leave the team. Horace Hall of Fame!🙋🏼♂️
very big piece mane - DA bullz ✌🏿
He was a hell of a player but he’s not a hall of fame player
Always loved Horace he was always a class act on and off the court. Salute to him and Harvey
Horace looks healthy man. He really take care of himself. He looks 35 y.o
Luxury Brown

You guys have the Kevin Love syndrome. A guy has to be tough, sound tough , a guy shouldn't even say another guy looks healthy or is in a good shape. What is freakin wrong with saying someone looks young or healthy ??? I'm not supposed to say it because it sounds gay ? Are you serious ?

racially...i assume.pretzel logic.
Like i said...i took the racial route...even though it 'may' not be on point.
Alex D Wow Alex, Whats with these People? All you did was make a Comment. I agree with you, Grant looks pretty good for his age!
Damn. From a guy who played with all of them - MJ, Penny, Kobe etc. - and he just said it. MJ is on another level. He's the best.
Boogie Loo he was on a team with Kobe during his development years vs. MJ during his prime years.. Big Difference
Jarrett Hilton - and if you're suggesting that Kobe is as good as MJ, that's laughable.
Damn Straight!!!
Jarrett Hilton he can tell the difference in watching also. And Horace did not get along with mj
how when MJ said kobe is the ONLY guy that can be compared to him???
I loved watching Grant back in the day. Fantastic ball player. Deserves to be 1st ballot hall of fame, even if just for longevity. Damn, every time I turned on a game for 20 years almost, Grant was doin damage on the TV. Badass ball player, a real dog. I know this be 3 yrs late, but just came across this.
Most underrated power forward in nba history
I love Horace... I discovered him in 1991 (when French Tv began to broadcast NBA matches). Since i remember how he was a sober, effective and dedicated player... Old times good times.. I miss this era...
Nothing but deep respect for Horace!!! Such a kind and entertaining guy with this big level of Basketball mind. Just wow.. I could listen to him all day....

Shout out to Horace Hes a great guy! Gave my Grand Mother his shoes after the game in the 93 finals! The bulls era is the best era in basketball!!!!!! Those guys were my Idols back in those days when I was on my journey to the NBA!
That's sweet. Horace Grant looks like a good guy. He was wonderful in basketball.

i'm from the chicago area and the bulls don't win without horace. he was damn near automatic from the midrange jumper.
Horace and Robert Horry a beautiful harmonic
Different Era different rules but No Doubt MJ is de Best & I'm a Lakers fan. Grew up idolizing 🙌🏼MJ Shoes, Shorts Jersey grew up in LA tho #BeLikeMike 👏🏻😉
Kobe is a Goat in his own mind went out like no other NBA players in History every night was a farewell Kobe tour😀👏🏻
Kobe who shot his teammates out of games & cared more about himself than winning.

Horace was my favorite Bull from that era!
Let's start with Bill Simmons being the greatest interviewer of bball history in a horse is simply what you call a Class Act that's a beautiful person
he asks a question and then answers it for Horace....Bill Simmons cant even help himself LMAO!!
Grew up in the 90s and was a huge Lakers fan....The one team that scare the shit out of me was Blazers during the 89-92 years. One of the best ever. Till this day I couldnt believe my lakers beat them to meet MJ in the finals.
He needs to be in the hall of fame NOW!!!!
Grant has always been a likable guy man, I’m glad he stayed straight and is smart with his money really awesome dude 👏
Wish we could've gotten a couple of Chicago-Houston Finals...

How does it happen
Love hearing about those Orlando Magic teams. Why didn't you return Shaq's call Horace??
That pistol Pete jersey is badass
The 92 Bulls were my favorite
4x more titles than Barkley & Malone means they would have won a title lmao!!
Horace's face when interviewer brings up the Jordan Rules is a picture. It's so clear he was the main source of the material.

John Morris when lol? No he wasn't. Can you guys at least provide some evidence? No. He's a defensive anchor. Here's an article that will explain his skill set: www.si.com/nba/2014/12/17/tyson-chandler-craft-mavericks-bulls-hornets. I love tyson chanler, he's not a switch defender.
Class is personified in his humble spirit.
This era of basketball craves the the three ball. And all these patty cake hand shakes and feminine dances or skits. In that bulls era it was about redemption of the bullied bulls maturing into the Dominant gate keepers of a (masculine) tuff league. Im glad I was privileged to (experience) see it.
I have no clue on what this era will represent. Im optimistic but realistic at the same time.
Looking forward to the day this Bulls (warrior)is in the hall of fame.
You can tell by his shine and youthful glow he is Blessed regardless.
John Smith Todays NBA is shit, commercial cash crop for a shit product..Pure 3's no defense, bitch ass handshakes, egoistic, egotistical fucks...Klay pops a three and walks away, curry pops a three and dances like a bitch...
How is Horace Grant not a Hall of Famer?
Easily, he wasnt top 5 at his position at any point in his career....
This is a really good interview he don't need to say Kobe and jordan are in the same level to be a better interview.
Horace Grant, favorite player and future hall of fame .
Horace was an awesome guy....
Michael made starter starter, Nike Nike like God made clay Man. I hope that’s not too big of a comparison. Dude was Blessed.
Matt Harpring,Mark Madsen,Michael Doleac, were bruisers.good guys in the league who weren't bullies at all.they would not be disrespected by no player.hats off to those 3.💪😎🏀
Bill when you ask Horace a question please be quiet until he finishes his answer
Horace Grant seems like a reasonable pretty level headed guy.
These new fans would say chicago had no competition in the finals comedy these new basketball fans.
Oh yeah I'm with you and Elijah Juan and Drexler I think Dexter let down in that series that's a heartbreaker Charles doesn't have a championship
Penny was dope. And he was my favorite player to watch while MJ was playing baseball. But Kobe and Penny are two different players. Kobe was a fucking beast. That killer instinct that he had can only be matched by MJ.
I still don't understand that rhetoric that Portland "never had a chance" in '92....they were one of the only ones to even get the Bulls to a 2-2 series....and then were up 15 points in the 4th Quarter in Game 6....if anything Portland largely controlled the series after Game 1....they just choked at the end.
Let your guest talk, stop interrupting
Hey yep he missing the flow man that's Harmony and synchronicity go smoke when I look at it again
JORDAN IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL! PERIOD!!!!!!!
That's true. In Hebrew, the name Michael Jordan literally means: ONE LIKE GOD WHO HAS DESCENDED. And that's was Jordan was to fans, a basketball god. Not to mention that Jordan was the only tall person in his family with his older brothers beings 5'4" and 5'5". Very short, but Michael grew to 6'6". He and his mom prayed for this. I believe their prayers were answered so Jordan would fulfill his earthly destiny.
He was so great that a country was named after him
What an impressive person.
0:08 4 times zero is still zero. Basic maths
The craziest thing in this entire interview is Bill saying Scottie is a top 25 player ever.
Man, when MK retired the first time, I wasn't a fan of SHAQ because I just felt like MJ was poetry in motion while SHAQ was just a big ass dude breaking stuff. I never really watched his games but I wasn't all the familiar with Penny but just paused and watched his highlights... my goodness was he scary. Mustve been amazing to be a Magic for for those couple years.
I remember Horace's great defense on Karl Malone. It was always a block party lol. When Malone would try and shoot over grant either him or pippen would throw it in other direction.Good shot from 10 to 15 feet as well.
Mj was 27-28 in 92 kobe was 21 in 01 lol
I want to see those guys interview together with Harvey
Wish bill asked horace about playing with gary payton and the 04 lakers team
I like that Horace just has one earring. He's very attractive and I can see why women really go for him! Go Horace!
People forget the power forwards he had to contend with in the west: Sheed, Malone, Duncan, Garnett, and Webber. In the prior season AC Green was too small to deal with them
SImmons looks like Jeff Van Gundy with hair
Hey let's remember Van Gundy change a rule in basketball with the Flop one of the greatest announcers ever with Bill Simmons Hall of Famers both don't even think about it then you got to watch Mark Jackson with his snide freaking comments he's at least a level below Van Gundy as a Class Act Van Gundy
Hey woo think about attacking somebody's looks what color heart is that
Nothing about the 2004 lakers? That would've been really interesting to hear, too bad. :(
where's his goggles?. not used to seeing him like that.
mike portnoy Then you probably didn't watch him during the 80's in his younger years with the Bulls.
@Notorious1503 Horace Grant joined the team 1987, same year as Scottie Pippen.
Bill Simmons is a Celtic so of course he isn’t going to like Kobe. Dude is the most bias “expert/personality” ever!
I do not understand why Horace Grant is not still in a Hall of fame? I think it's very unfair. 🤔
Э К. Hutisha exactly!!!
Role player, that did not influence the game, or do anything extraordinary outside of ball.... so we just gonna allow any in there now?
Without grant his championship teams would not have won
Steve kerr has more rings than grant, should he be a hall of famer too? Lol
Э К. Hutisha yes steve kerr and horance grant should both be in the hall of fame
10:18-10:54 Good leaders don't berate, they elevate.
Horace was so humble. He's forgotten that they owned the Rockets that year 2-1 in the season. ESPN was so cheap then. I couldn't forget it. 2-1 Bulls.
That's Mister Horace Grant
Jordan got beat several times in a 7 games series. The whole 80's, and 90 was him getting beat in a 7 game series.
Dwight Stewart yea you Could say that if it's all about a Single Player winning a title!
Dwight Stewart how was the whole 90’s Jordan getting beat, if he, and the bulls won six titles in the 90’s?
Jordan did score 55, not 54. I remember Spike Lee saying Jordan dropped double nickel in an ad
rooster82100 Michael Jordan’s “Double Nickel” game was in 1995. They were talking about the 1993 ECF when MJ scores 54.
All I know is if Kevin McHale n Robert Parrish r hall of famers...so should Horace Grant be...rt!
Shaq put up video game numbers against the Bulls. And a healthy Orlando team could’ve gave the Bulls a run for there money the following year. People seem to forget how unstoppable Shaq was offensively/defensively especially in the playoffs.
Shaq averaged 25 pts, 13 rebounds 1.9 blocks in 21 games against Jordan and that includes 2 games when Jordan was a Wizard. Those are hardly video game numbers. And I'm not even gonna mention Rodman vs Shaq
When did Rodman guard Shaq? There's a reason he hardly guarded Shaq
Yea but Shaq wasn't hurt the following year and he struggled against those 3 headed monsters the Bulls had. Longly, Wennington and Purdue
You heard that NO ONE BEATS MJ IN A 7 GAME FINALS SERIES!!!!!!!!
Richard Moore it only took shaq, penny and horace 6 games to eliminate jordan and pippen lol
Mike g MJ came back from Baseball common. Tou are just being a hater. The guy retired and return. Loose in the conference finals and get mad, next season they won 72 games and the finals. Lmao the GOAT BY FAR
Hemeregildo Ruperez because i state a fact I'm a hater?? Lol. Wait here's another fact, jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs without Scottie. Jordan is the 2nd best player to me. Does that make me a hater? Lol
Mike g “finals” how’d you miss that part?
Mike g Only person you could say is better than MJ is Kareem because it ain’t Kobe or Lebron.
13:34 Jordan was terrible? Didn’t MJ average 32 on 48% shooting lol. Maybe that’s below average for MJ yes, but that’s not terrible at all lol.
this guy just doesn't age
Bill Simmons Hates Kobe & Shows It Every Chance He Gets!! Kobe Much Better Than Penny. Jordan Was 26ish When Phil Took Over & Kobe Was 21 Thats Not The Same Age SMH. Kobe Top 5 Ever
Pj Mills He was 26-27 when Phil Jackson took over. Dont matter the age. Kobe was in his 4th year when Phil took over, Mike was in his 6th.
Marc Regal it Has Been Corrected But The Fact Remains Simmons Hates Kobe
Pj Mills FUCK bill Simmons. Lol.
Jordan was groomed and Kobe was raw.
Pj Mills Top5? Lmfao Kobe wasn’t the best player on his own team. Top10/Top15 is more realistic. Kobe without another star player wouldn’t even make the playoffs or got knocked out of the first round. Chill with all that top5 crazy talk. But crack is a hell of a drug so I’ll give you a pass.
Hall of Famer.
nah.
Role player hall of fame maybe....
Harvey could ball too!!!!!!
Not Tom Brady Justin Nardine Harvey had more skill
Yeah harvey a scorer
People forget Horace beat MJ in the Playoffs....def Hall of Famer
Freaky Robber who forgets?
HOFamer that's my Guy Y'all Forgot he saved the Game in Phoenix even thou it was a Foul they Didn't call it when he Blocked Kevin Johnson from Behind look at the Tape
Horace looks like his nephews Jerami and Jerian Grant.😎
Horace grant don’t look a day over 50 can’t believe he got nba kids
I was gonna same the same thing. He got some top notch genetics better than a lot of NBA players.
He says Michael would neutralize Shaq and even Kobe? Come on Horace, that 2001 Lakers team there's nothing you could do with neither Shaq or Kobe,
And their coach is phil jackson
Well we saw 73 so how old is this video?
lol. Gunning for a record, sissy rules and no chip VS, just getting the record because they wanted to crush all teams because the didnt win the chip the year before and a Chip to cap it. Big difference.
14-15ish I remember
MrBlend it started 1990 look it up all the rule changes that took place in the 90s.. NBA rule book history
K Steve not the rules that made it impossible to stick physical D.
K Steve No one answered you question, this interview is Four Years Old.
That was some mad respect they paid to Bon Jovi
15:22. The Bulls went through Ewing almost every year.
It doesn't matter who you are..You just do not put MJ and Penny in the same sentence! Different level.
Iv Naum Go listen to Jordan saying he sees Penny as the only young player in the league that can be on his level. Do your research,Penny was fucking amazing.
Ribar preach
2014 wow that's not long ago
Stops and buckets who is the best. MJ. The GOAT
Wow, Horace Played with the Best ones l don't know about you guys but la have the Best 4 with this info
Jordan
Penny
Kobe
Wade
This guy (i.e. the white guy) hates Kobe... LOL... He's not even trying to hide it asking those leading questions.
Bill Simmons is a Celtics guy
He definitely a Kobe hater
Kenneth White hes a boston guy. Hates all lakers things. MJ did win him over though bc he used to hate on him too
He is. But if you read his book of basketball, he respects Kobe a lot after his conversation with Bill Walton it's at the end of the book
love simmons but hes always been a kobe hater...never gave him enough credit....his biggest flaw as an nba journalist
Horace didnt play with 81 pt kobe....so his synopsis doesnt mean SHIT
