I really do not understand all the disrespect some NBA scouts and "experts" have dumped on this young man - all he's ever done is win, and it's mainly because he hates to lose.

I can see him being Kurt Rambis, Bill Laimbeer, Kevin McHale, Bobby Jones, etc. for the next 15 years, barring injury. He's the kind of guy every team needs.

I think this will motivate him to excel. Granger and him will be fun to watch next year.
