Very sorry to hear this.  I always respected the heart he played with.

This is a bummer  :'(.  He was one my all time favorite Blazers.  I hope he is able to get good treatment.

My favorite Brian Grant memories

When he had his stare down with the Mailman after taking one to the head drawing blood.

Watching him play 60 minutes in a 4 overtime game against Phoenix (fricking Rex Chapman).  He was so tired in the 3rd and 4th OT that he could barely run the court, and yet he kept getting big rebound after big rebound.

My son won playoff tickets from the Brian Grant fan club when he was maybe 7 years old.  He was so excited he could hardly contain himself.
A third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. A second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. A first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself.
