: his family and adjusting to life after basketball. But he would not rule out
: returning to the game in a new capacity in the future.
Grant對於未來，除了陪伴他的家人以及適應不打籃球的生活之外，
他還沒有立即性的計畫。
: "You've got to find yourself again," he said of retirement. "You're no longer
: Brian Grant the basketball player. You've got to find a new identity."
談到自己的退休，BG說：
「你得再次地尋找自我。你再也不是打籃球的Grant了，你得找到新的身分。」
