Best NBA players to win NBA Finals with two or more teams: 19. Horace Grant

From one former champion Chicago Bull to another, Horace Grant was at his best when he was playing alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Grant averaged double-figure scoring 10 times over the course of his career and double-figure rebounds twice.

Grant was drafted by the Chicago Bulls three seasons after Michael Jordan and in the same draft as Scottie Pippen. Grant quickly became the third star of the Chicago Bulls and rewarded them for their investment in him. Over his Bulls tenure, Grant would make two All-Defensive teams, his lone All-Star appearance and was a part of the first three title teams.

Grant would leave the Bulls shortly before Michael Jordan’s return to the league and would join the Orlando Magic. While the Magic never quite made it all the way, they were one of the most popular teams of the era and gave Grant a chance to compete at the highest level against his former team. He was an integral part of the Magic making the Finals in 1995 before they were ultimately swept by the Houston Rockets.

Following a trade to the Seattle Supersonics that resulted in one year up north before being traded again to the Los Angeles Lakers. This was a double reunion for Grant. He got to play for Phil Jackson again and share the frontcourt with Shaquille O’Neal. Grant started 77 games for the Lakers in the 2000-2001 season and helped earn his fourth championship ring. Grant had another ill-fated stop in Orlando that lasted only a little over a year and ended his career with one last NBA Finals appearance in a return to the Lakers.
