Grant is great...he's obviously got phat skilz...but in comparison to Jordan's personality they're not the same at all. People hardly realize that Jordan is acclaimed as the league's best trash talker, and his flamboyance, his showmanship is the key to his fame....I mean, hundreds of player perhaps have his skill but it's the way he shows them off that is his success....just look at Deion in football. Grant is not very flamboyant, and I think the big sponsors have noticed that already. Grant is the perfect pro athlete, unfortunatly however, that is not what sells. :(
