NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Danny Granger is for real. There, it is out there for everyone to see and if you have not seen this guy play then you are missing one heck of a player.
My first introduction to Danny Granger was last year when Granger was scoring at will against my Pistons. Now Indiana had nobody on their team including this Granger guy and yet, there he was driving and scoring, pulling up and shooting, draining free throws and just being an offensive pest.
This year Danny made the All Star team and just notched Most Improved in the NBA.
Danny Granger is one of the bright young NBA stars!
Maybe the highest praise came from Larry Bird.
A first-time All-Star, Granger realized how far he’s come after Larry Bird’s comments this morning.
In introducing the Pacers forward as the NBA’s Most Improved Player this season, Bird referred to Granger as “a hell of a player.”
“I watched Larry play probably when I was in diapers,” Granger said with a laugh. “It’s a great honor to have him congratulation you on the type of success you have. It speaks wonders.”
Granger, the NBA’s fifth-leading scorer this season with a 25.8 average, reiterated his desired to become an elite defender.

Now if Larry Bird could just surround Danny Granger with some other talented players.
