BRIAN GRANT
In Brian Grant, Pat Riley has found what All-NBA forward Tim Duncan considers "the hardest working cat in the NBA". Under Pat Riley's direction, "The General" dropped 15 pounds off of his frame to model his body after the slimmer sleakier power forwards in the NBA. However, due to Zo Mourning's ailing kidney, Grant was forced to bang with the big fellas at the center position. Despite numerous trade rumors, expect Grant to be in a Miami HEAT uniform for the 2001-02 season. Only this time, he will be playing his natural position. "It’s going to get better," Grant said, the pain of the 0-3 playoff ouster to the Charlotte Hornets still stinging. "I know I didn’t finish as strong as I’d like to."
