Host Larry Gifford closes our four-part series on stigma and Parkinson's with a conversation with Brian Grant about his personal experiences with stigma and his thoughts on the stereotypes of people with Parkinson's disease.

More about Brian Grant:

Brian Grant was an NBA idol, known for tenacious rebounding and a fearless attitude on the court. During his 12‐year career, he played for five teams and became a strong contributor to his surrounding communities. In 2006, Brian retired from professional basketball. Only two years later, he was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease at age 36. He started the Brian Grant Foundation to help people with Parkinson’s lead fulfilling lives.
