Grant H. Napear (born June 18, 1959) is an American sports radio host for The Grant Napear Show at KHTK Sports 1140 in Sacramento, California and the play-by-play announcer for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He also sometimes fills in for Jim Rome on The Jim Rome show. Perhaps his most famous trademark phrase when calling Kings' games is: "If you don't like that, you don't like NBA basketball!"[1]

Born in Syosset, New York, Napear graduated from Syosset High School in 1977 and earned his academic degree in broadcast journalism from Bowling Green University. There, Napear also played collegiate lacrosse.[2]
