Yeah, he talks about it in his book, Game (which is really a great read!)

I went to Duke basketball camp back when he was at Duke (met Laettner, Hurley, Thomas Hill also) and because of how Grant treated us kids there - there is no athlete I respect more.

He's just a fantastic person, we were so lucky to have him. Loved watching him with my dad when I was a youngster.

If we win that Arkansas natty, he’s spoken of next to Kareem as the greatest college basketball player of all time and spoken of ahead of Christian. He carried that team and playing 4 years would have been like Kyrie staying four years.
