Short Synopsis
In Rebound, former NBA player Brian Grant shares his remarkable life before, during, and after those NBA years with no shortage of compassion and wit.

Full Synopsis
After twelve 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 in life. In Rebound, Grant shares his remarkable life before, during, and after those NBA years with no shortage of compassion and wit. With esteemed basketball writer Ric Bucher, Grant shares his story in raw and candid fashion, as he takes listeners 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.

"Venerable narrator Leon Nixon is at the top of his game as he shapes Grant's storytelling. Nixon speaks with enthusiasm and imitates the voices of characters at times, always finding an appropriate voice." ---AudioFile
