@RTHA300 Horace Grant gave me my first Christmas gift ever back in 1994. He and other Orlando Magic players came to a very tiny Haitian church in Orlando and gave all the kids gifts. He answered my questions as a 9 year old, shook my hand and was very kind. I will never forget that Christmas. Derek Strong was there as well. Great time to be a kid even though I was in the ghetto.
+Myles Shapiro that's what happens when you eat right and stay in shape. the people that look bad at 50 are ones that abuse their bodies when theyre young. smoking, not remaining hydrated, eating poorly, drinking alcohol...it all makes you age terribly
People tend to forget that back in the day, this man right here we used to call the "All purpose man". Horace Grant during the Bulls reign was the best All purpose, consistent, go to, clutch, reliable talent in the game, and also in the history of the game. Great to finally 20 years later hear him in such a candid interview.
Great comments Horace! I'm a huge fan! You and Rodman in the two different Three-Peats were just as necessary as Scottie or Michael. I miss seeing you guys play and also the ways the league played. More competitive. More physical play. Your offensive rebounds were AMAZING! Thank you for the 3 titles Horace.
I respect Horace for being cool with all those Michael questions. If I was up there for my own interview and you start asking me silly shit like what Michael used to eat for dinner, it's a wrap.
that's the way it is I don't understand what people are trippin about. He played with the greatest and that's what people want to know about he had the inside scoop. Horace knows and understands that. You idiot people don't though.
Joseph Martinez That's obvious and understandable. It's to be expected that they would ask him a few questions about MJ. My point was that they asked him several questions when he is there for his own interview and the "what did Michael eat?" question was silly so if I was asked that I would be like "come on, yall dont have nothing better to ask me about myself?"
sakecity7 It wasn't a dumb question to me. I'd like to know what Michael Jordan would eat pregame meals and stuff like that. Whatever the heck he ate sure as hell worked why not know what he ate? Horace was a great player no doubt. He was definitely more famous and I believe wouldn't have been as good had he not played with Michael Jordan he like Scottie Pippen were better players because Michael Jordan expected you to be. They were accountable to him and it worked because Horace became a great role player.
Joseph Martinez I didn't say it was a dumb question, I said in my opinion it was a silly question. That sounds like something a kid would ask him. They might as well have asked what Michael's favorite color was. Would it be somewhat interesting to find out what kind of diet Michael followed? Sure, if you are watching a long documentary about him and that was one of the topics they touched on. Even then it's not really that important because I'm sure when he was young and in his prime he could have eaten McDonalds and Pizza Hut everyday and still been the greatest. But to ask that to someone else who is up there for their own interview I thought was silly. And most pro athletes or former athletes have egos and get uptight if you ask them too many questions about other people. Thats why I said I respect Horace for not being like that and just playing along.
MJ was poisoned from some teenagers who worked at a Pizza Place near the Hotel the Bulls were located in Utah. It was an evil prank. Jordan was the only one who ate some of the pizza the night prior to playing Utah in the playoffs. It was not the flu he suffered from, but the media did not want that cat out of the bag.

mike didn't have the flu. he had flu like symptoms stemming from food poisoning. and all that did was piss him off. flu game just sounds better than food poisoning game. also....don't trust pizza (or any food) in Utah.

Not the same Scottie Pippen that had the migraine not the same Scottie that got mad and sat on the bench while Kukoc hit the game winner Scottie was good but definitely not a hall of famer if he didn't have Jordan
I enjoyed this interview. However, this is not you and your homies talking over a game of NBA Live. And its not you and your boys at the barbershop where you have as much knowledge as the next man. This is Horace Grant! When he's telling a story, believe he is going somewhere with it. He has insight and too many times they cut him off before he made his point. That's not riding him, that's just respect.
The Last Dance has given me more input on who MJ was behind the scenes than ALL the other documentaries on MJ combined. IMO it’s only made MJ more legendary. Always heard about his crazy competitive nature from other players, but to actually see a glimpse of it behind the scenes is something else. They were NOT exaggerating.
It's literally produced by MJ himself. It's his side of the story. Anything he didn't want was cut out. Not saying it's all false but not independent or unbiased. Only things that made MJ look bad are things we all already knew. MJ is the GOAT but the Last Dance is not hard hitting journalism. It's a puff piece.
@@jon-snow-GOT Straight up. I actually didn't know Michael was so hands on in the documentary. You'd think a guy who has a billion dollars sees things like his that as being trivial. He really is an insecure and petty guy. He greenlit this doc in 2016 after LeBron beat the 73-9 warriors. I don't like LeBron but they both have 1 thing in common. They both are super duper conscious of their image, unlike a guy like Charles Barkley or Reggie Miller or even Tim Duncan. I won't forget Kobe. This is why I love Kobe more than MJ, he doesn't have that female insecurities. Yeah, this whole documentary showed us that MJ wanted to be seen as a messiah. Let's be honest guys, the NBA made sure MJ won those rings. A lot of rules were changed for MJ to excel. Fishy stuff man
I lived in Chicago for 20 years back in the 80's and 90's. Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen would come out to play for special events by the lake and I used to watch them play and everything. Both of these guys seemed so freaken tall they didn't have to jump to dunk the ball! Everybody always talks about Michael's and Scottie's friendship but, Horace and Scottie were even closer friends that they were to Michael. The Bulls would have won even more championships if Horace had not left. Big mistake by Jerry Krause.
They won 3 more championships after he left. Yes he was valuable, but they put up that(at the time) historical 72-10 season on their way to another title without him as well.
Credit to Horace for how affably he handled everything. Myself, there's something I don't like about 1) talking to your guest endlessly about another great player (a few questions are fine), and 2) virtually worshiping an athlete. I mean, c'mon, guys. A little less fanboy, a little more serious adult basketball fan. Some of the questions were good, though.
Hyper Horse I find that losers who cant do anything well and live with delusions to keep going hate hard working people who take pride and can accomplish things like Michael Jordan. how is he an asshole for having expectations
+j ruffin I thought that was the best question in the interview. All the rest of this stuff about Michael is already common knowledge. Pineapple! Did not know that.
Mike is my favorite basketball player. When I first saw mike play, I was 6. Hooked right on...he had hair too. That was 1986, I was in 2nd grade. Fast Forward to today its 2015-16 and nothing aint changed. He still the best for me.
"No, of course not! Because. if MJ goes out, the Bulls go out." Lmao Horace Grant knows they need MJ as a big essential key to the Bulls in order to win their first 3 championships, but Horace knows he can squab on Mike lmaooooooooooo! Love the two, and loved the Mike-Scott-Horace trio. My favourite of all time and Horace is probably my favourite.
Most people claim they know basketball, but don't know nothing. Pippen was leading the Bulls into the second round once Jordan left. Pippen is underrated, just go watch vids of his highlight.. He wasn't no scrub
Truly one of the best players of all time.... If you want to know how underrated he was look at when Michael left the NBA when his father got murdered and playing baseball. Bulls almost won 60 games that JORDAN, and they would have went to the finals if it wasn't for that bullshit call against Scottie in the final seconds against Alan Houston of the Knicks.... Don't get me wrong, MJ is my fav of all time BUT know that Pippen is a HUGE HUGE reason why they won, not just MJ Alone. Pippen would score and do something better than anybody else in the league- play the best offensive players AND score himself. That's talent
Marcus Felix a year later in 95 they were below .500 till Jordan came back in March out of basketball shape and LED them to the playoffs. The next 3 peat 96 97 98 they won because of mj. Clear cut all mj. Pip was dealing with back issues in 97 98. Pip is a great role player that’s it. Never a #1. Just check Houston Portland
@@batphoneuser1407 Statistically Scottie took less shots but made more than MJ. MJ was flashier but one on one i don't think Jordan could beat Scottie. Scottie was an inch taller/physically stronger and had a longer arm span. Just my 2 cents what do you think?
Jamal Richman I think you’re wrong. MJ made Scottie a better player SPECIALLY in one on one practices. MJ is known to face the starters with bench players just to raise his level. Sorry but Scottie is one of the greatest ROLE players of all time. That is all he ever was.
@@batphoneuser1407 You are right when you say that! However Jordan wasnt the best shooter in the NBA he just got more touches on the ball being "the man in the middle" percentage wise others like Pippen took less shots but made more then MJ on average. Numbers don't lie! Look it up! With a team Jordan can beat any one. One on One with Scottie....That one i don't know about. Also Scottie's shortcoming was mental not physical!(Pressure) Allen Iverson use to break MJ ankles among other's.( I cried when i seen that literally) So just because Scottie couldn't win a Championship doesn't mean he would lose every single one on one with MJ like you are trying to imply. I think if anything it would be a draw. Idk. Good point you made tho
Bucks- Bulls game 2 this year. It was a fucking football game. Thats kind of a misnomer that gets thrown around.. theres some soft calls but its getting better. There are more and more scrappy, physical players comin in the league every year. Look at the KY starting 5!
***** Actually it appears he used the word "then" CORRECTLY. dictionary.reference.com/browse/then And even if he did not, nobody cares. grow up. erherhehrehehrehrejhfdiojijiojoojiasrgnc...there, you goona cry about that? bye
Rahsaan thomas Jordan was an all star before he arrived to the Bulls. MJ is great because he was great. The Bulls were great because of Horace as well.
Joseph Martinez sorry jordan really wasnt that great until he became clutch, after the jordan dunk era. Once he started loosing his legs is when his game got better.
Horace played in an era when the NBA was a man's league. The guys today wouldn't be able to play against the old school teams with the old school rules.
@@tharealest8190 You're crazy. They players today can't even make a wide open 3 in the corner. Watch the finals games between Boston and LA back in the day.... those guys could shoot. The bad boys from Detroit would injure the starting five from any team today. Then they'd beat up refs after the game. The league today is too soft.
@@tharealest8190 LOL! The rules favor these little pansies in the league today. If they had to play when basketball was basically hockey on wood with no pads guys like Steph Curry would get killed.
Much respect to Horace Grant👍 I grew up on 90s ball, still love the game but man those Bulls were something else. Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bulls in the early 90s, i was a witness my brothers, I was a witness .
They shouldve asked him about Jordan being suspended by Stern for gambling on NBA games and "trying his hand" at baseball... Sidenote... Scottie Pippen's the greatest perimeter defender of all-time.
+KJ Carson Right but MJ underhandedly pulled a trash bulls team to the playoffs without pippen and played against some of the greatest teams in history. Pip lost out to the Knicks, albeit, they cheated Pip with that phantom foul but still.
jaxsonlee10 yes but pippen was a VET on that bulls team and Jordan was a rookie the first playoff, and ran into the celtics (5 hall of famers) the next 2 years. Complete different scene totally. It makes a difference once context is put to it.
Great job to Horace for paying respect to the goat. Also, one of the funniest parts is when I think he's being "educated" on DM's at the end. Funny stuff.
"what was mjs favorite thing to get at dinner" damn. disrespectful. you got Horace Grant in front of you and your asking him about what MJ liked to order after games lmao?
MJ's goal was to make the Bulls the toughest sunavabitches in the NBA. Why? Because in order for you to be able to beat the "Bad Boys", the Knicks and so many other tough teams, guess what... YOU HAD TO BE TOUGH. MJ made sure that everybody on his team knew that this shit is for real. You want to be the best team in the NBA? You want the history records to have your name in stone? Then you've got to get your shit together and go through hell. Thats why practices were ferocious and exhausting, thats why mentally MJ was pushing everyone to their limits. MJ wasnt trying to be nice.... when MJ was nice he was getting his ass beat by Pistons... MJ was trying to make them a championship team that wouldnt be intimidated by anyone. And as a Leader, he did EXACTLY THAT!
And on today's episode of surviving Michael Jordan. 😂😂😂

MJ didn't have a winning season without Scottie Pippen, but Pippen did have a winning season without MJ. That is how good Scottie Pippen was.
MJ had 3 straight first round exits.

Scottie was the truth. Scottie in his prime is one of the best ever period. No matter what generation

Not the same Scottie Pippen that had the migraine not the same Scottie that got mad and sat on the bench while Kukoc hit the game winner Scottie was good but definitely not a hall of famer if he didn't have Jordan

Straight up. I actually didn't know Michael was so hands on in the documentary. You'd think a guy who has a billion dollars sees things like his that as being trivial. He really is an insecure and petty guy. He greenlit this doc in 2016 after LeBron beat the 73-9 warriors. I don't like LeBron but they both have 1 thing in common. They both are super duper conscious of their image, unlike a guy like Charles Barkley or Reggie Miller or even Tim Duncan. I won't forget Kobe. This is why I love Kobe more than MJ, he doesn't have that female insecurities. Yeah, this whole documentary showed us that MJ wanted to be seen as a messiah. Let's be honest guys, the NBA made sure MJ won those rings. A lot of rules were changed for MJ to excel. Fishy stuff man

@@ishmaelm1932 the nba made sure MJ won those rings? Like for real? 🤣🤣😂😂😅😅
I lived in Chicago for 20 years back in the 80's and 90's. Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen would come out to play for special events by the lake and I used to watch them play and everything. Both of these guys seemed so freaken tall they didn't have to jump to dunk the ball! Everybody always talks about Michael's and Scottie's friendship but, Horace and Scottie were even closer friends that they were to Michael. The Bulls would have won even more championships if Horace had not left. Big mistake by Jerry Krause.
They won 3 more championships after he left. Yes he was valuable, but they put up that(at the time) historical 72-10 season on their way to another title without him as well.

Horace Grant was a hell of a rebounder and overall great defensive and clean-up guy around the basket.
Credit to Horace for how affably he handled everything. Myself, there's something I don't like about 1) talking to your guest endlessly about another great player (a few questions are fine), and 2) virtually worshiping an athlete. I mean, c'mon, guys. A little less fanboy, a little more serious adult basketball fan. Some of the questions were good, though.
Gotta be kinda crazy when you do an interview and all the hosts want to do is ask questions and talk about somebody else...😜
You got a legendary player as Grant and you ask him about MJ fuck is that.
Because mj is way more legendary what else you expect
Im Tylito Ask about Grant's legacy
dhsilv2 MJ is a legend, he's the GOAT
+Syed Shah
Because MJ is an asshole and the truth needs to get out.
Hyper Horse I find that losers who cant do anything well and live with delusions to keep going hate hard working people who take pride and can accomplish things like Michael Jordan. how is he an asshole for having expectations
he really ask Grant what does Mike orders to eat?
+j ruffin Mike was probably his idol thats why
+Chris H Still embarrassing.
Horace sounds like an idiot
+j ruffin
I thought that was the best question in the interview. All the rest of this stuff about Michael is already common knowledge. Pineapple! Did not know that.
Lmfao
This is pure gold lol i could listen to MJ stories all day every day.
Oakley being his mentor makes soooooooooooooooooo much sense now, lololol!
FYI, pineapples has an enzyme called 'Bromelain', that reduces inflammation in the body. It is good for joints. That may be one reason why MJ ate it.
Bismillah Rabbani Thanks for clearing that up for these overly sexed idiots on here...
It also destroys your teeth...js😁😁😁
Mike is my favorite basketball player. When I first saw mike play, I was 6. Hooked right on...he had hair too. That was 1986, I was in 2nd grade. Fast Forward to today its 2015-16 and nothing aint changed. He still the best for me.
Horace Grant was hard core.
Horace and Norris are from Sparta, Georgia....Hancock County. They did amazingly well to be from a small town.

Class act sir! Continue please...to be a man of character. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Such a great player. This was a real insight interview. Props all around!
This is a good honest interview... Thumbs up grant!!
HG thanks for Great Basketball moments !!
Does everyone notice how Horace Grants comments in this video are differ a bit from the stuff he's saying now post Last Dance?
I agree
Exactly why I am here. I met Horace a few years ago and he’s a cool dude. I was surprised after watching Shannon sharpe say he’s angry with MJ
They made him look like a punk on the doc..And saying you let another man punk you, should change your energy
"No, of course not! Because. if MJ goes out, the Bulls go out." Lmao Horace Grant knows they need MJ as a big essential key to the Bulls in order to win their first 3 championships, but Horace knows he can squab on Mike lmaooooooooooo! Love the two, and loved the Mike-Scott-Horace trio. My favourite of all time and Horace is probably my favourite.
Mj is the goat
Dudes didn't even remember Horace played with Kobe on Lakers lol.
"Hey what did MJ wear to sleep at night? " - Ebro and Rosenberg
Good interview i always liked H.Grant classy dude
good interview... enjoyed the commentary from all ...
Brings back a lot of child hood memories. Thanks for the memories Horace. Awesome times.
Most people claim they know basketball, but don't know nothing. Pippen was leading the Bulls into the second round once Jordan left. Pippen is underrated, just go watch vids of his highlight.. He wasn't no scrub
Truly one of the best players of all time.... If you want to know how underrated he was look at when Michael left the NBA when his father got murdered and playing baseball. Bulls almost won 60 games that JORDAN, and they would have went to the finals if it wasn't for that bullshit call against Scottie in the final seconds against Alan Houston of the Knicks.... Don't get me wrong, MJ is my fav of all time BUT know that Pippen is a HUGE HUGE reason why they won, not just MJ Alone. Pippen would score and do something better than anybody else in the league- play the best offensive players AND score himself. That's talent
Marcus Felix a year later in 95 they were below .500 till Jordan came back in March out of basketball shape and LED them to the playoffs. The next 3 peat 96 97 98 they won because of mj. Clear cut all mj. Pip was dealing with back issues in 97 98. Pip is a great role player that’s it. Never a #1. Just check Houston Portland
@@batphoneuser1407 Statistically Scottie took less shots but made more than MJ. MJ was flashier but one on one i don't think Jordan could beat Scottie. Scottie was an inch taller/physically stronger and had a longer arm span. Just my 2 cents what do you think?
Jamal Richman I think you’re wrong. MJ made Scottie a better player SPECIALLY in one on one practices. MJ is known to face the starters with bench players just to raise his level. Sorry but Scottie is one of the greatest ROLE players of all time. That is all he ever was.
@@batphoneuser1407 You are right when you say that! However Jordan wasnt the best shooter in the NBA he just got more touches on the ball being "the man in the middle" percentage wise others like Pippen took less shots but made more then MJ on average. Numbers don't lie! Look it up! With a team Jordan can beat any one. One on One with Scottie....That one i don't know about. Also Scottie's shortcoming was mental not physical!(Pressure) Allen Iverson use to break MJ ankles among other's.( I cried when i seen that literally) So just because Scottie couldn't win a Championship doesn't mean he would lose every single one on one with MJ like you are trying to imply. I think if anything it would be a draw. Idk. Good point you made tho
Ask him something about Horace.
Great Video yall,Great Vid! 3thumbs up! up front and honest
The NBA is way softer then it used to be..
***** OH shut the fuck up dumbass grammar Nazi, you idiots fall under the trolls section.
of course it was they are the reason its like it is now plus punching each other in the face is not real basketball
patrick ray I bet you ask daily, "do you want fries with that'. Dullard pedantic
Bucks- Bulls game 2 this year. It was a fucking football game. Thats kind of a misnomer that gets thrown around.. theres some soft calls but its getting better. There are more and more scrappy, physical players comin in the league every year. Look at the KY starting 5!
***** Actually it appears he used the word "then" CORRECTLY.

And even if he did not, nobody cares. grow up.

Why u think they brought him on

+Kenny Lauderdale Couldn't agree with you more Kenny! Horace is a good dude focus on him.
Grant took it there....
I was thinking the same thing. Do they want to talk to Grant, or only talk about Jordan!!?
One of my all time favorites, and what a great story of him and his twin brother playing in the league at the same time
Me: hey yall it's Horace grant

jesus christ is this a Horace interview or a MJ interview
***** it aint the same but it was a great analogy lol
you're the only one that would like to hear about Horace Grant. The only reason why this dude is even relevant is because he played with the greatest.
Joseph Martinez and part of the reason why mj was the greatest is because of guys like this.
Rahsaan thomas Jordan was an all star before he arrived to the Bulls. MJ is great because he was great. The Bulls were great because of Horace as well.
Joseph Martinez sorry jordan really wasnt that great until he became clutch, after the jordan dunk era. Once he started loosing his legs is when his game got better.
I wonder if MJ watched this interview, I should ask Horace
Horace played in an era when the NBA was a man's league. The guys today wouldn't be able to play against the old school teams with the old school rules.
Kawhi could probably
@@idkanymore9869 There was no such thing as load management then so I doubt he would be willing to play now. LOL!
Dude stop , the current nba players are FAR more talented and athletic than the old school nba players . The current nba would dog walk the old era
@@tharealest8190 You're crazy. They players today can't even make a wide open 3 in the corner. Watch the finals games between Boston and LA back in the day.... those guys could shoot. The bad boys from Detroit would injure the starting five from any team today. Then they'd beat up refs after the game. The league today is too soft.
@@tharealest8190 LOL! The rules favor these little pansies in the league today. If they had to play when basketball was basically hockey on wood with no pads guys like Steph Curry would get killed.
Dis all makes sense now lmao I should've watched dis all these years,just saw it on the TL,"Ey it's uncle Horace" n kept it moving😂
Extremely humble, much respect
Much respect to Horace Grant👍 I grew up on 90s ball, still love the game but man those Bulls were something else. Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bulls in the early 90s, i was a witness my brothers, I was a witness .
Nice interview. Horace seems pretty humble and gracious.
13:25 He is asked if it bothers him all the questions about Michael Jordan, your welcome
Thank You.
You are the real MVP.
This should be pinned comment
They shouldve asked him about Jordan being suspended by Stern for gambling on NBA games and "trying his hand" at baseball...
Sidenote... Scottie Pippen's the greatest perimeter defender of all-time.
boy the 90s were the shit...even though i was a kid..everything was a coming of age. America learned so much about itself...
You changed the title. Thumbs up!
Now that’s a good dude right there, no ego, just down to earth and humble AF. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This was a really good interview.
MJ and Pippen have the same amount of rings WITHOUT each other. Zero. Pippen was underrated and so was Grant.
+KJ Carson Co-sign that 100!!
+KJ Carson Right but MJ underhandedly pulled a trash bulls team to the playoffs without pippen and played against some of the greatest teams in history. Pip lost out to the Knicks, albeit, they cheated Pip with that phantom foul but still.
+AKW Walker
yeah but pip actually one a playoff matchup without mj and mj never did.
jaxsonlee10 yes but pippen was a VET on that bulls team and Jordan was a rookie the first playoff, and ran into the celtics (5 hall of famers) the next 2 years.
Complete different scene totally. It makes a difference once context is put to it.
+AKW Walker
mj had like 5 or 6 years before he won any playoff matchups.
Great job to Horace for paying respect to the goat. Also, one of the funniest parts is when I think he's being "educated" on DM's at the end. Funny stuff.
"what was mjs favorite thing to get at dinner"
damn. disrespectful. you got Horace Grant in front of you and your asking him about what MJ liked to order after games lmao?
MJ's goal was to make the Bulls the toughest sunavabitches in the NBA.
Why?
Because in order for you to be able to beat the "Bad Boys", the Knicks and so many other tough teams, guess what... YOU HAD TO BE TOUGH.
MJ made sure that everybody on his team knew that this shit is for real. You want to be the best team in the NBA? You want the history records to have your name in stone? Then you've got to get your shit together and go through hell. Thats why practices were ferocious and exhausting, thats why mentally MJ was pushing everyone to their limits.
MJ wasnt trying to be nice.... when MJ was nice he was getting his ass beat by Pistons...
MJ was trying to make them a championship team that wouldnt be intimidated by anyone.
And as a Leader, he did EXACTLY THAT!
absolutely right
Dawg you must be some kind of basketball historian
And they changed the rules for him
Fact
🍹🍔🍟
Man what a Great interview Horace is.
💯 ✌🏻🙏🏻
Yo, always good to see a legend!! Big Harare, u dd yo thang too bro!! Champ 4 life!!😎💯👍🏾💪🏾✊🏾
Hate when interviews go this way. Grant is there and it’s all about MJ. Royce da 5’9 shows up, it’s all about Eminem.
If em is mj, royce is not horace fucking grant lol
Fool Eminem blew up because of his race. Mj blew up because of his skill. Em was a lyrical clown
