He’s still shooting his shot.
“Bachelor” Grant Ellis sees his hoops career and finding love on a reality dating show similarly.
The Newark, NJ, native said watching himself date on TV reminds him of viewing videotapes of his basketball games.
“I look at it like I’m watching game tape of myself. And it’s really interesting to see what the connections look like on screen,” said Ellis, who played for Hudson Catholic High School, Iona University and professionally overseas.
But the 6-foot-4 guard, who suffered an injury that derailed his playing career, can’t correct the moves he makes on the long-running ABC series as easily as he could on the court.
“I mean, by the time I’m seeing it, it’s too late. … It’s out there,” he said about his season of “The Bachelor,” which premieres on Jan. 27.
