Forgotten NBA star who won three titles with Michael Jordan had championship rings worth $340k auctioned off

HORACE Grant accomplished the rare feat of winning NBA titles with two different dynasties.

The 58-year-old starred in the Chicago Bulls team that dominated the early 1990s with Michael Jordan leading the way.

Grant played power forward in the Bulls team that romped to three straight titles between 1991 and 1993.

He then followed up by winning a fourth title as part of the Lakers dynasty.

The former NBA star was part of the Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal side that won the title again in 2001.

Grant spent 17 years in the league in total and had a glittering career.

But that gold was auctioned off last year and fetched more than $300,000.

The three Bulls championship rings were valued around $100,000 each while the Lakers one added a cool $40,000 on top.

A short clip on Heritage Auction Sports showed the incredible detail in the four rings.

According to TMZ Sports, Grant sold the rings for charity years before they were put up on auction.

Grant left Chicago in 1994 to join the Orlando Magic – a decision he recently reflected on.

He said in a Q&A three years ago: “It was one of the toughest, most difficult decisions I made in my life.

“After winning three championships, the year MJ retired, we had a pretty good season, winning 55 games and taking the Knicks to a Game 7.

“It was a pretty darn good year. I sat down with Scottie, and I said, ‘Listen, I’ve got to look out for myself and my family.’

“And he understood. We embraced, we talked a little bit more, and I wished him well, and he wished me well. It was tough.”

“On the other hand (in Orlando), you look at a team with Shaq, Penny Hardaway. That was a great opportunity for me to go and lend my expertise to a young team with great talent.”

Grant helped the young team to the NBA Finals in 1995 and the conference finals in 1996.

In the latter, they were beaten 4-0 by the Bulls after Jordan came out of retirement to win his fourth title.

Shaq moved on to join the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996 and Grant later joined him.

Grant captured his fourth NBA ring in his one and only season with the team.

He had the privilege of being part of both Jordan and Bryant’s respective dynasties – two of the most famous in sporting history.
