The Senate Concurrent Resolution commends Danny Granger for his induction into the 2025 class of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Born in New Orleans and a graduate of Grace King High School, Granger excelled in collegiate basketball at Bradley University and the University of New Mexico, where he distinguished himself as a dominant player. He was selected 17th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers, where he spent the majority of his ten-season career, also playing for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Miami Heat. Granger achieved significant milestones, including being named an NBA All-Star in 2009 and contributing to the U.S. national team that won a gold medal at the 2010 FIBA World Championships.

Despite facing injuries that affected his later career, Granger's perseverance and professionalism earned him respect throughout the league. He is recognized as a role model for aspiring athletes, exemplifying excellence, resilience, and dedication. The resolution not only honors his achievements in basketball but also highlights his impact on the sport and his representation of Louisiana on both national and international stages. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to Granger to acknowledge this commendation.
