Former Portland Trail Blazers great Brian Grant has transitioned from his playing days as an undersized forward who stood tall against some of the greatest bigs to play the game, to now, a spokesman for Parkinson’s disease along with the likes of Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox. Often times for most great legends, the greatest battles are never truly brought into the light.
That is until now, as a recent story published by Chris Ballard of Sports Illustrated details Grant’s fight. He’s now 46 and living in Portland with two of his daughters, and he speaks on the epic roller-coaster that his life has been since coming out publicly with Parkinson’s disease almost 10 years ago.
