Man, I gotta tell you about this project I’ve been digging into – looking at Horace Grant’s NBA stats. You know, the guy with the goggles? What a player!
So, I started by just searching around to see what info was out there. I mean, this guy played for 17 seasons! That’s a lot of games and a lot of data. I found some general stuff, like his average points, rebounds, and assists per game. You know he averaged about 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game during the regular season. Pretty solid, right?
But I wanted to go deeper. I started looking at his stats per season. I mean, 17 years, there’s gotta be some interesting trends in there. And there were! I grabbed all sorts of details, like his field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and how many games he started each season. It took some time to collect it all, but let me tell you, it was worth it!
I was really interested in how he did in the playoffs too. So I did the same thing – gathered all the stats for his playoff appearances. Guy was a beast in the postseason, especially during those Bulls championship runs. I compiled everything into a big spreadsheet.
- Total Points
- Total Rebounds
- Total Assists
- Steals
- Blocks
I then looked at each one of those categories.
And analyzed his performance with different teams. I noticed that Horace was not just about scoring, the guy was a defensive powerhouse. I mean, he played with the Bulls, the Magic, the Lakers – all powerhouse teams, and he was a key player for each of them.
What really impressed me was his consistency. Over 17 seasons, he consistently delivered, averaging around 13.1 points and 8.5 rebounds. This kind of longevity and consistent performance? That’s what makes him stand out.
This guy, Horace Grant, he was something else. You know, playing alongside Jordan and Pippen, he was the guy holding down the fort defensively. I found out he even won a ring with the Lakers in 2001! Four-time NBA champion, folks!
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into Horace Grant’s stats. It was a fun ride, and it really gave me a new appreciation for the man behind the goggles. What a legend! I finished all of it.
