Ric Flair is the “The stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ and dealin’ son of a gun” who has captivated many wrestling fans and beyond. He was one of the few wrestlers able to intertwine real life with his in-ring character.
So a story about losing a Rolex while drinking with the Undertaker on a night out isn’t abnormal for Ric Flair. However, the intriguing part is who the pair was out partying with.
Speaking with Metro.co.uk, The “Nature Boy” name dropped former Washington Bullets player Harvey Grant in his story.
“I lost a Rolex with Taker one night. Oh God, Horace Grant with the Bulls – every time I see that Last Dance field. Horace has got a brother Harvey who plays for the Bullets. We and Taker and Harvey Grant were out one night – and I lost a Rolex, which is a whole different part of the story. Trying to hang with him and that Jack Daniel’s man, it’s tough. We’ve had so much fun!”

Harvey is the lesser known twin brother of former Chicago Bull, Los Angeles Laker and Orlando Magic Horace Grant. However, in the DC area Harvey may be the first of choice between the brothers.
Harvey was a first-round pick of the Bullets in 1988. He spent his first five seasons with the Bullets. He averaged 18+ points per game for three straight seasons (1990-1993) before he was traded to the Portland Trailblazers.
Grant was traded back to the Bullets in 1996 after three uneventful seasons with Portland. He was part of the last Washington Bullets team and first Washington Wizards team in 1997.
Grant spent 11 seasons in total in the NBA. His two sons — Jerian and Jerami — both blossomed at DeMatha Catholic High School into NBA careers. Thus, Grant is accomplished. But, partying with Flair and the Undertaker is another accolade.
