College career
He was picked up on the Xavier college basketball team where he was second on the all-time leading scorers' list. He became the two-time Midwest Collegiate Conference Player of the Year at Xavier University, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. He continued to practice with the coaches after each practice and continue to get better. All four seasons with Xavier University he led his team in rebounding, and was third on the all-time leading rebounding list. He was named to the Associated Press' honorable mention All-American team in his junior year, after ranking second in the nation in field goal percentage with 65.4 percent. He declared for the 1994 NBA Draft after his junior season.
NBA career Grant was drafted in the first round of the 1994 NBA Draft by the Kings. He signed a 5-year, 29 million dollar contract. Grant opted out of the deal following the 1997 season to sign a 6-year, 67 million dollar deal with the Trail Blazers. After three years as the Blazer's (sic) number one big man off the bench, Grant once again opted out of his deal to become a free agent, hoping to land a starting gig elsewhere. In the summer of 2000 Grant signed a mega-deal with Miami: 7 years, $86 million. Grant had just come off season averages of 7.5 ppg and 5.5 rpgg. The deal was met with much scrutiny from the national media, but Heat GM Pat Riley insisted that Grant was the missing piece to the Heat's championship puzzle. During the summer of 2004, he was traded (along with Caron Butler, Lamar Odom and a future first-round draft pick) to the Lakers in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal. Grant was released the following off-season and signed with Phoenix. He was traded in the 2006 NBA Draft to the Boston Celtics with the rights to Rajon Rondo in exchange for a future first-round draft pick. After being waived by the Celtics on October 27, 2006, Grant formally announced his retirement. The 1994 NBA Draft tookplace on 29 June 1994 in Indianapolis, Indiana. ...
