Zitate und Sprüche von Horace Grant

When you see your leader working extremely hard in practice, you feel like, "man, if I don't give it my all, I shouldn't be here."

We went from a shitty team to one of the all-time best dynasties. All you needed was one little match to start that whole fire.

There are certain sports figures who become a larger cultural force. Michael Jordan and the Bulls changed the culture.

I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan.

Yes, I think the '96 Bulls are the greatest of all time. I think the 72-10 record speaks for itself and the fact that we were able to cap it off with a championship.

Welcome to Rose University; class is in session!

I'm truly blessed. Everything has just been like a dream come true. This just tops it off - I'm playing at the highest level of basketball and it's in my hometown. I really can't believe it right now.

Coming from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.

You really cannot set a standard, because Georgia is my home state, my home team. No other team can match what Georgia can offer. Schools cannot really match that, so that is an edge for Georgia.

The ridiculousness of thinking that some sort of global Illuminati wrote down their plot for killing of 95 % of humanity on a giant granit post-it note and left their secret plan somewhere no conservative would ever find it: rural Georgia.

In Texas, it's football. In Georgia, football. There's an appreciation from the average person about football more than anywhere else. And we have that for basketball in New York. And we'll always have that in New York.

I ask all Americans with a conscience to shun anything and everything to do with the murderous state of Georgia.

Georgia girls - the kind of girl you can take home to meet your mom, but can outdrink your dad.

There's no debate. Pau, when he retires, he will have his number in the rafters next to mine.

Jerry West really helped a lot, and so did players like Magic Johnson. That's why, at the end of my career, I wanted to finish my career with the Lakers.

I have season tickets to the Lakers and the Clippers.

Now LA has a God and a King!
Zlatan welcomes @KingJames

Sacramento, I won't stay. But I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May.

My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face.

The toughest part for me is the city - the people. They've got burgers named after me in Orlando, they've got a Web site saying, "Please stay." I love the people in the city. I've literally sat on the bench with a towel on my head crying, because I feel the passion in the stands.

It's a great run, we'd had a wonderful time. Good Team. Time to go.

Tex Winter: "Are your shoes okay? I don't want you sliding all over the damn place out there."
Michael Jordan: "I'mma slide a ring on your hand tonight, Tex. That's all you need to know."

Sports are like a gunfight and we lost to the fastest gun.

I'll play the game for free, but you get paid for the bullshit after you leave the floor.

This is the way the game of basketball was played at the time. When you come to Detroit, you will get your ass whooped.

A true leader does what is right, no matter what others think.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

Walk until the darkness is a memory, and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon.

I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough.

Walked into a restaurant yesterday and guy comes up and says: "Aren't you Rik Smits?"
Not quite but I appreciated his hoops knowledge…

You guys are better people than players - that means a lot!

You're only concerned if you know you don't have it. We have it.

I learned a lot I wouldn't have learned roaming the streets of Dallas.

My kids are older now. They're kinda upset with me. They're not really upset, but they don't understand. I tell them all the time: "We" ain't rich. "I'm" rich.

I want to become one of the best players, so if you want to be one the best, you have to elevate all aspects of your game.

One downside of our big brains is we're the only creatures who are aware that death is inevitable. Although, if you lined ten dogs in a row and shot them one by one, the dog on the end would probably get the gist by about dog four.
