I get, he was on the team for a long time and contributed well.
But at the same time he has to understand that 7th/8th men on championship teams don’t get tribute videos…and we didn’t win the championship

He contributed to Jimmy getting pissed off in G2 and getting us torched

Grant was only here 4 years, was never higher than 8th on the depth chart, and was more like 9th or 10th t in year 1 and year 4. Also he was offered a contract extension and turned it down to signs with Dallas for more money (not saying he shouldn’t have – he definitely earned the contract he signed).
Love Grant, but if he’s getting a tribute video it basically becomes anyone who ever plays meaningful minutes gets a tribute video – and then how do you make anything special for the guys like Marcus Smart or IT that really made a mark on the team history/culture and would have retired here if it were up to them.

They didn’t want to record over Brandon Bass’s tribute video.

I don’t get the Grant hate. And it was never his fault we lost that game against Miami because he “poked the bear”
Sure maybe a tribute video might be a bit much. I think he should’ve got more than what he actually got tho. He got a “thank you grant” on the screen for literally 2 seconds at the END of a timeout (not even at the beginning) while the timeout was about to end and the ref was about to blow the whistle to resume play. That was too short imo and they should’ve timed it better

My GOAT. They should have given him one tbh, it would be nice. IDC that he isn’t a “star”
gochuuuu
So why didnt they give him a tribute vid? He deserves it tbh

Here’s what the video would have been:
Grant Williams makes a few wide open corner threes.
Grant Williams plays one good defensive game against Jokic.
Grant Williams tries hard on defense against Giannis and Embiid, but they still score on him.
Grant Williams headbutts and talks shit to Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Butler turns into peak Michael Jordan.
And the grand finale, “I’m gonna make them both.”

he finally said something funnier than “im batman”

For a bench player?

He said I’ll trade you wool and brick for a tribute video

I mean I get it, but Grant, game 2 ECF 2023. That was you poking a bear and getting it to swing.

If everyone gets a tribute video, tribute videos mean nothing. He was a role player. That’s it. Did he have highlights? Of course; he’s an NBA player. A tribute video? C’mon.

My take. Too many guys get tribute videos .

Oh, I’ve got ideas for the video: Complaining to the refs (maybe a couple minutes of this alone), his unsuccessful defense of Trae Young’s inbounds play with his backside turned to Young, jawing with Trae Young while he calls Grant a “fat***,” opponents getting a step on Grant and just blowing by him while he stands there and doesn’t bother chasing them down (too slow), sliding on his belly like a seal while diving on the court, his Game 2 “duel” with Jimmy Butler in the 2023 ECF, stating that the Warriors weren’t the better team atfer the 2022 NBA Finals, getting cooked easily by Steph Curry limping around on a bad ankle before that during the regular season, Ime Udoka calling him out at the start of the 2021-22 season, and…jawing with Spida Mitchell and then proceeding to miss both free throws.
…Dallas doesn’t miss him either. They got so much better defensively by shipping him out. LOL!

They should’ve done one and had it just be the clip of JB saying he’s sure Grant will have an annoying game.

This is what playing in Boston does to a motherfuker. If we won a chip and he somehow won a game for us, yeah maybe you get a video. Otherwise, you’re an 8th man who was here for a few years and left for the paycheck.

I could see like a compilation vid with a few of those key role players in it, but a tribute video? Nah.

Poor grant needs a participation trophy
