Pacers Press Conference Not About Granger?

by Tom Lewis on May 12, 2009 10:05 PM EDT in Indiana Pacers News

UPDATE: Pacers.com is live streaming the press conference. Sure looks like an MIP trophy on the stage.

----------------------------------------------------

Hmmm. Kent Sterling offers a little intrigue this morning about the Pacers press conference today. Sterling is 1070 The Fan's Program Director and reports that the Pacers indicated that the press conference has nothing to do with announcing Granger's award.

Why would the Pacers make such a big deal out of Danny Granger winning an award? Why would the Pacers tease the media with a press release about a major announcement, only to deliver the good news that Granger has won a well-earned award, but one that certainly does not mark the turning of the franchise's tide.

We have been told that the announcement has nothing to do with Granger's award. "You have some bad information," was the response from Pacers media relations chief David Benner when we requested Granger for an interview with Dan Dakich following the presser.

Whoa. Stay tuned.

Off topic but I was also going to mention that I ran into Brandon Rush at the mall in Overland Park, KS on Saturday. Ok well I didn’t actually run into him or even speak to him but he was there as was I. He was rolling posse free though which I was very happy to see.

Dam!

turn it on as they say this wraps up the Q and A for the 2008 2009 most improved player. O well…any other news come out, or was it all for that?

That was it

I’m sure the video will be up at Pacers.com this afternoon.

Loved the sense of humor

For Danny in saying he was on a gondola with his hands in the water and the wind in his hair when he got the call before saying he was really in his hotel room eating mozzarella cheese.
