Grant has his jersey retired at South Lakes High School
“The last thing on my mind was the NBA or college, I just wanted to play here at South Lakes. That was what I wanted to do.”
At the 18th annual NBA Legends Brunch, Grant was honored the Community Assist award for the many programs he established in Detroit, Orlando and Phoenix.
“As you honor me, I honor you,” Hill told the crowd that gathered at the annual brunch held in conjunction with All-Star Weekend. “Follow your own blueprint and inspire others to follow theirs.”
Grant was named the 2017 recipient of the NCAA President Gerald R. Ford Award and donated the accompanying $25,000 honorarium to Atlanta’s Morehouse College.
