Calvin gave him the right advice to play basketball and disregard football. If he played football, everyone would have expected him to follow in his famous dad's footsteps, but by playing basketball he established his own identity.
despite zero rings and injuries, he still is among top ten players. hill, stockton, barkley, archibald, miller are so much better than some others whom won nba without deserving it
Grant Hill was the real deal one of the great he definitely had 1 of the quickest first step coming out of college and in the NBA. The injury mess him up💯
G.Hill and Penny would both been top 10 easy maybe higher if it weren't for injuries they were definitely taking the torch from Mj as the NBA embassabors.
I ran into Grant Hill at JFK airport in New York years and yeaaaaaaaaars ago. As I walked by I said, 'hey has anyone ever told you that you look like Grant Hill?" We both had a good laugh.
I promise u.. i did the same thing to Emmitt Smith at a gas station in Dallas.. but i was really asking him until he smiled and said: i am Emmitt Smith... Lol!
Hate Duke and other teams with a saytannic vibe! I would root for other teams over Duke and Wake Forest. I think he had a great mom, because she instilled respect; chilbren should not be allowed to run loose and live disrespectfully. She's like what the Cosbys did well. They have to learn and live it, because, otherwise, you'll have chiIbren that are good due to being good natured already(bad parenting would not change them much), open refuse(needed discipline), or try to convince you of lies instead(and be living a double life)! Felt bad about how things ended up for him!
in my TOTALLY honest and/or accurate OPINION a NON top 50 star sums up grant hill and in my TOTALLY honest and/or accurate OPINION the best pistons players ever are still stars #1 dave debusscherre #2 andrew phillip #3 isiah thomas #4 george yardley #5 dave bing and #6 bob lanier
Even his documentary is soft. Nobody cares about a broke down dookie Dukie 🤣🤣. Just another Jordan posterized victim. Nah just kidding not hating on Hill. He was just unlucky in his pro career. I am a Cowboys fan I can’t hate on Hill.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I was married to a very pretty Black/Cherokee/White woman, and we had a daughter in 2013. My ex looks like Tamia Hill, and our daughter is on her way there. My ex is a wonderful woman. We just weren't right for each other. I wish only the best for her. I used to have my daughter for 3 weeks every summer, but COVID limited our contact, and I've all but lost contact with my daughter.
Listen he was the guy after Jordan before Kobe there was two guys that were considered to carry the flag one was Grant Hill the next was Penny hardaway unfortunately they both got hurt just like Ken Griffey Jr bo Jackson Sterling Sharpe the 90s were hard on Superstars these guys were 1 and 2 in there sports no BS they were next leave Bo would have been a Hall of famer in both sports crazy to think
Grant Hill was like Jordan to me in the early 90s. And he always had on the best Nikes too. I had the 1st Grant Hill shoes from Fila, only cause I had the M-Squad Fila Jamal Mashburn prior
Hey Grant, where would you rather live? Detroit had your back and Orlando wanted to throw you back. It was you Grant Hill that help create our stance as Detroiters. You and yo Hollywood wife made it easy to feel like you know what, it's Detroit vs Everybody.
Grant was a great person and player. Doug Collins did his best, but the organization didn't give him or Hill the help needed. Wish'n the Hills the best. Peace.
Before the injuries Grant Hill was just electric and had such great athleticism and even though he had to change he’s game after the injuries he still had a few good years.
@@r2richburg Roty , avg 23 ppg without mourning , 2 x all star should’ve been 4 he was great in 96 and good in 97 , all- nba and he carried his team to the playoffs and the finals, not including his ncaa achievements in which that would make him one of the greatest college players of all time top 1-3
@@andresdelportillo9917 grant was also roty, a 7x all star (so even if larry had 4, it's still less than grant) and 5x all nba, both more than larry, grant avg 25 ppg at his peak, was able to survive in the league much longer, and if we're talking skill then grant has him beat by a mile, so none of your points show his career was better, larry was good, maybe a lil underrated but in no way was he better than grant, this not even a debate lol
@@andresdelportillo9917 yeah you lost that debate Bud lol, he just hit you with the facts and the stats, skill wise it’s not close, hill is way better, and even tho Grant never reached his full potential because of injuries he still put in better numbers and more Allstar appearances, also won roty.
If you were a basketball fan in the 90's and at least 13 years old when Grant was in college, and got drafted you'd understand why he's undoubtedly a HOF player. Grant was considered the best player behind Jordan at a point in his career..actually the first version of LeBron James.
@@seriously6066 it's not like he never played in the nba. He was 7x all star and 5x all nba. If you weren't there to see it, words can't explain how good he was back then... and he might have the finest wife in nba history. That's good enough for me

💯%
And he was injury prone in basketball, he wouldn’t of done 1 season in football.
Are you saying Lebron's son?😂
If it weren’t for injuries he’d definitely be a Top 10 player of all time easy.
despite zero rings and injuries, he still is among top ten players. hill, stockton, barkley, archibald, miller are so much better than some others whom won nba without deserving it
of course, t-mac, iverson, mutombo, penny hardaway too
His fault. This dude chose to wear Filas. I busted my ankle just watching him play in those😂
Yup I've always said this. He was a force. A complete two way player. And had a quick first step with a killer crossover.
Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill - two all time great talents.
Grant Hill was the real deal one of the great he definitely had 1 of the quickest first step coming out of college and in the NBA. The injury mess him up💯

I dunno bout top 10 all time but definately at their positions
Top 50 all time maybe. Top 10 way to far
@@jeremyfields9557Both would've been top 15 to 20 easily.

Tracy Mcgrady too

I'll never wish harm on anyone but, what do you expect hooping in Fila's (34:32)
Penny hooped in Nike's soooo😂😂😂.
Busted out FILA’s that’s why 😆
3:52
I remember seeing Grant Hill at a high school party. He was getting alot of attention, so I didn't go up to him. He seemed pretty chill though.
mane was too cold 👑
God just didn't give him the ankle. What a great small forward he was. And could have been greater.
My favorite player of all-time, is the biggest "what if" of all time 😭.
Such a nice guy and wonderful family, what a shame that his body could not cope with his talent.
i watched the nba for two reasons shuwn kemp and grant hill :)
It was because of those FILAS.. They were cool but not ball shoes..
Penny wore Nikes and look what happened to gim
He played considerably long for the injuries he sustained.
Grant Hill was a str8 up beast! I wish he never had them pre injuries during his career.
Love Grant Hill, he's a humble dude.
3 ankle surgeries in 3 years?! 33 y'all.
So frustrating
Almost makes ya wonder whether he'd have been better off not having the surgeries, and just giving it time to heal naturally.
Grant being blessed with his height was just a extra blessing.
When I was like 5-8 years old i had a folder for school of him and Ewing ... if it wasn't foe the injuries him and Penny would be top 20 all-time
Grant was so ahead of his time man I wish his career would went the other direction

My favorite basketball player from my childhood frfr 💯! Dude was cold as ice far back as I can remember!!! #GHilll❤#Legendary
damn just imagine if he never got injury
I am his biggest Greek fan...
Every body loves grant hill
His mom kinda ruined this. That’s not the reason he went to Duke bro lol
It was then weak ass filis he kept wearing. Still was cold with suns later on though
My all time favorite player. Then T-Mac.
💯👁✌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾.....my opinion, he didn't touch 🏀enuff💯✌🏾
he was my favorite player
Me too I only picked pistons on NBA 97 cause of him hahaha
$92 million for Hill but Orlando rejected Shaq's request for $100 million when he had brought them to the playoffs and an NBA finals by then....
Even his documentary is soft. Nobody cares about a broke down dookie Dukie 🤣🤣. Just another Jordan posterized victim. Nah just kidding not hating on Hill. He was just unlucky in his pro career. I am a Cowboys fan I can’t hate on Hill.
Nobody is and was fuckin with Grant Hill on the basketball court. My favorite player of all time frfr and that's since my younger days!!!
Grant hill legend for real

"If I can get back watch out"
*comes back and plays 9 more seasons*
Great story of never giving up.
Listen he was the guy after Jordan before Kobe there was two guys that were considered to carry the flag one was Grant Hill the next was Penny hardaway unfortunately they both got hurt just like Ken Griffey Jr bo Jackson Sterling Sharpe the 90s were hard on Superstars these guys were 1 and 2 in there sports no BS they were next leave Bo would have been a Hall of famer in both sports crazy to think
G our 🐜 ant . HILL is a push from underground the hull the hall the Hal the computer from HELL

27:33 I am a former Eagle Scout, so I love that Grant Hill is talking with a Cub Scout there! (that little boy is probably an Eagle Scout himself!)

Injuries derailed his career . He would have been a great player. Been a top 15 player ever . He was good for the NBA .

I don't know what to tell you, soak it in milk. Man talking about Achilles heel.
30:30 I have my SONICS 33 EWING jersey!
It's Kur-zee-ZEW-ski, not sha-SHEF-sky.
As great as he was, it’s a shame he got hurt, in his prime🤔
25:24
Much Gratitude .

When Grant Hill left the Pistons, he took a shot at the city of Detroit. We did nothing but support that POS. Karma!!! We won, he didn't.
The organization not Detroit. They mishandled him
They don't talk about the many times that Kobe Bryant defeated Grant Hill...
Grant hill momma successful colonized him..
