Der Deutsche spielte als Fußballprofi für die Chicago Sting in der North American Soccer League, der ersten echten Fußball-Profiliga in den USA. In der ewigen Torschützenliste der NASL belegt Granitza Rang drei, und hätte der große Franz Beckenbauer nicht noch einen Meistertitel mehr in den USA gewonnen, dann könnte sich Granitza sogar erfolgreichster deutscher Fußballprofi in den USA nennen.
