Description

“Basketball gave me a life; Parkinson’s taught me how to live it.”  —Brian Grant  After 12 years of playing basketball at the highest professional level, Brian Grant could have been forgiven for thinking that the hardest part of his life was behind him, that he’d be able to kick back and enjoy the fruits of his considerable labors. But soon after his retirement from the NBA, Grant was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson’s disease, ushering in a challenge greater than any he’d faced before, as well as an opportunity to embrace what really matters.  With esteemed basketball writer Ric Bucher, Grant shares his story in raw and candid fashion, as he takes readers to Sacramento, Portland, Miami, and beyond; to the airplane 30,000 feet in the air where he first came to understand the source of the tremors in his hand; and to the summit of Mount St. Helens alongside five others with PD, where he once again put himself to the test and defied expectations.  In Rebound, Grant shares his remarkable life before, during, and after those NBA years with no shortage of compassion and wit. 

Author Biography:

Dr. Brian Grant served as a professor of philosophy at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada, for 39 years. At the time of his death, Grant had completed what represents here the culmination of many years of thinking and writing about philosophical scepticism. A graduate in philosophy from Cambridge University (BA), University of Washington (MA), and University of California, Irvine, (PhD), Grant's publications include: This Dance of the Mind (2008), A Sort of Balance: Essays on the Later Wittgenstein (2003), The Condition of Madness (1999).
