Advice From Uncle Horace Helping Jerian Grant Adapt in Orlando
ORLANDO – Jerian Grant knows full well that his first season in Orlando could be a make-or-break one for his career, but he doesn’t have to go too far for helpful advice about what it’s like to play for the Magic.
Grant’s uncle, Horace Grant, was a Magic legend during his two stints in Orlando from 1994-99 and 2001-03. Even though Horace lives on the West Coast and has been retired from the NBA since 2004, Jerian is reminded of his uncle daily when he passes a large collage of pictures near the Magic training room at the Amway Center. In one particular picture, a goggled Horace is soaring high into the air to snatch a rebound over a foe from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
