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 seventeenth 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 United States 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. His impressive career averages and peak performance solidified his status as one of the NBA's elite players, making him a role model for aspiring athletes in Louisiana and beyond. The resolution not only honors his achievements but also highlights his impact on the sport and his representation of Louisiana on the international stage. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to Granger to acknowledge this commendation.
