<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">- Knee surgery isn't hard. Repairing forklifts is hard. NCAA basketball isn't tough. The neighborhood Danny Granger grew up in is tough. Facing TV cameras and reporters isn't scary. Going door to door to talk about God is scary. Granger, a senior forward on the University of New Mexico men's basketball team, has a golden future ahead: the NCAA Tournament today, the NBA draft in three months and perhaps a million-dollar paycheck shortly thereafter. He is almost iconic in Albuquerque, on the brink of national fame and big money. But he took the back roads to get here. Granger toyed with going to the Ivy Leagues out of high school, opting instead for Bradley, a private midmajor, Midwestern school for players with middling NBA chances. Then he came to New Mexico, a program of overwhelming expectations and typically underwhelming results. Granger met those expectations. He helped the team produce results. </div> Source
