OT: Brian Grant /Ali video

[THE HCP]

Put this together for Brian and his foundation's Parkinsons event tonight. Had a great time. Met Raphael Sadiq, Michael J. Fox and Pat Riley. I know you guys all love Brian, so I hope you enjoy him in this.

Nice work. Grant was and will always be a stud.

great job! I loved the Grant and Ali stuff, especially the ending shot of Ali.

 

[LameR]

Nice job. I like the vid, and for a great cause too.

 

[THE HCP]

Thanks guys! The biggest reaction from the crowd came when BG was squaring off with the Mailman! Place went nuts!

Nate would have utilized Brian better than any other coach given the chance.

 

[Rhal]

Great vid HCP.

Terrific stuff, HCP. How many hours of video did you have to sort through to come up with that?

 

[HailBlazers]

Awesome

 

[Nikolokolus]

You do some really nice work man.

Quite a bit, but I had some help on that end. adidas owns the Ali footage, but they gave me some great stuff to use. MJ Fox's people sent me some stuff and we had to have the HEAT send the Riley stuff. Everybody seemed to like it. While going thru all the Grant highlights, his game is very similar to Jeff Pendergraph. Obviously JP has some work to do, but that is the type of game he could have. Man we could use some of that toughness!

Really? How so? I love BG, he's the ultimate warrior, but iirc his outside jump shot wasn't that great.

 

[BBert]

Great job HCP! I like your Pendergraph comparison. What he lacks in size and natural talent he makes up for in attitude.

 

[Eastoff]

I liked the picture of Fox posing with Ali. A nice compilation indeed!

One of my teachers from high school has parkinsons I believe...he throws a shaker's ball. ...wonder if he was involved in this event at all.

Nah, he had no J, but that wasn't what he was brought in for. JP just needs some time.

I was making a snide reference to Nate using his power forwards as outside jump shooters, in response to a post stating Nate would have gotten more out of BG than any other coach. In hindsight, maybe that poster was being snide as well?

GREAT job.
