The Chicago Bulls announced Wednesday that Horace Grant has been named Special Advisor to President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Reinsdorf.
“Horace is an incredible ambassador for the game of basketball. His ability to engage an audience, whether he is in a boardroom or a community center, will be invaluable to me and everyone at the Bulls as we continuously look for ways to grow our relationships with fans, corporate partners, and civic groups,” said Michael Reinsdorf.
“The Chicago Bulls have always had a special place in my heart and it means so much to be part of the family again,” said Horace Grant.
A 17-year veteran of the NBA, Grant spent seven seasons playing for the Chicago Bulls (1987-94). Originally selected by the Bulls with the 10th pick in the First Round of the 1987 NBA Draft, he played a key role in the team’s first Threepeat Championship run (1991-93); he also earned a fourth NBA title in 2001 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Grant joins Scottie Pippen and Toni Kukoc as Special Advisors to the President & COO. His new role begins in October 2016.
