Horace Grant's championship rings with Chicago up for auction
In search of more, rare Michael Jordan-era memorabilia? Horace Grant’s got ya covered — ’cause TMZ Sports has learned MJ’s former Chicago teammate’s three title rings he won with His Airness in the early 1990s are up for auction. The rare items come from the Bulls’ first 3-peat in 1991, 1992 and 1993 — when HG played a key role alongside Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
We’re told each ring — which are all size 12 and have “14k Jostens” on the interior bands — is so valuable, they could fetch over $100K apiece. Heritage Auctions officials tell us each ring also comes with a letter of provenance from Grant as well.
Mitchell & Ness are about to give you an opportunity to level up your rotation, featuring over 150 new styles as part of their Heritage Collection, a celebration of classic NBA jerseys from the ‘90s and ‘00s. The collection includes undisputed classics like the 98-99 Vince Carter Raptors jersey – in both home and away colours – Shaq’s 96-97 Lakers jersey, Penny Hardaway’s 94-95 jersey, the instantly-recognisable Horace Grant 1990 Bulls jersey and, for those who wanna take it back to the ‘80s, you can cop Kevin Johnson’s 1989 Phoenix Suns jersey.
“He actually had this curious ambivalence with Jordan,” said Sam Smith, who covered Pippen’s entire Bulls career and wrote the classic book, “The Jordan Rules.” “He wanted to be accepted and part of Jordan’s orbit, and I think that stemmed from, as a lot of it does, from where it came from. … He always really hungered for it, but Michael, being the shark he was, he would recognize that. He was so aware of people wanting to do that. “And then he would belittle Pippen when he was trying to be considered an equal, and then Pippen would go sort of crawling back to Horace Grant and the guys because he wasn’t accepted like he wanted to be.”
Throughout his stellar NBA career, Bryant made a name for himself through his countless ways of scoring the basketball. For Grant, barring injuries, Hardaway would’ve also become as dominant as Bryant as he also had that in him during his playing years. “Without a doubt,” the four-time NBA champ said when asked if Hardaway could’ve also enjoyed his career like Bryant did. “I’m talking about 6’7”, 6’8” can see the floor, three-pointers, drive to the basket, assists, you name it. All-around game.”
