Mavs honor long-time employee, Keith Grant
Twice during Sunday night’s halftime ceremony to celebrate his retirement, Keith Grant got emotional and broke down and briefly halted his speech.
After 42 years working with the Dallas Mavericks in several positions, no one could blame him if he wanted to shed a few tears on his way out the door. For Grant, it was a solid career that saw him start off as the Mavs’ equipment manager during the team’s inaugural season in 1980-’81, and steadily work his way all the way up to becoming the Mavs’ assistant general manager.
“Not a bad career for somebody who wanted to be in baseball,” Grant told the American Airlines Center crowd. “But this worked out pretty good.”
