The opening as it read in 2010
Daniel Leslie Grunfeld (born February 2, 1984, in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey ) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for Bnei Hasharon from the Israeli Basketball Super League . Grunfeld grew up in Franklin Lakes, NJ while his father, Ernie Grunfeld , was the GM of the New York Knicks . Due to this, Grunfeld grew up a die-hard Knicks fan, but was still only an average player on his FAMS middle school team in the mid-late 1990's . He would take the bus home everyday (driven by Jack, a Korean War Vet with 9 1/2 fingers) . It was there that he developed his game, shot up in height, and became a dominating high school player. Grunfeld went on to play at Stanford University where he had a successful college career. After going undrafted out of Stanford University in 2006, he played his first two professional seasons with the EWE Baskets Oldenburg in the German Basketball Bundesliga , then with Aguas de Valencia Gandía in Spain's LEB Oro League. In September 2008, his childhood dream came true when the New York Knicks signed him to the team under undisclosed terms. . On October 23, 2008, Grunfeld was waived by the team. In January 2009 he received Romanian citizenship in order to be eligible for playing for the Romania national basketball team . He signed for his current team on June 6 2010. While playing for the Stanford Cardinal in February, 2005 he tore his right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), forcing him to sit out the team's final nine games. He took the time on the sidelines to "observe what certain people do to be successful," and improve his basketball awareness. His father is Ernie Grunfeld , former New York Knicks guard and GM , Milwaukee Bucks general manager and current President of Basketball Operations for the Washington Wizards .1
