Horace Grant talks Heat, MJ
Posted by Unknown on Saturday, October 12, 2013 with 1 comment
Former NBA star Horace Grant is traveling with the Chicago Bulls in Rio De Janeiro as an NBA ambassador and was asked recently how the Miami Heat of today would have fared against his Bulls' teams in the early 90's. Grant also tackled the issue of former teammate Scottie Pippen claiming back in 2011 that LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play in the NBA.
‘We would’ve kicked their (butts),’ Grant said. "No, you can’t compare (eras),’ he said. ‘The rules have changed so much from our days and the Heat’s days. It was more physical back then. Today you can run around without getting touched. Today, Michael Jordan would average about 45 points.’

‘Scottie was really drinking that day when he said that....You can’t compare anybody to Michael. You can compare, but Michael is the best player I’ve ever seen or ever played against. Not taking anything away from Kobe (Bryant) or Lebron or Carmelo (Anthony) or even DRose, but wait until those guys get through playing. Then you can say compare the two careers.’
Lmao and horace hated mj as a teammate. Sounds like he's more appreciative these days
