God, it's so refreshing watching an NBA game where every player isn't flopping to the ground every time they drive to the lane or launching an ill-advised 3 every other possession.
He didn’t have an efficient 3 point shot so he didn’t take it unless he had to. He was solid to elite in every other area of the game though. He was on his way to being the face of the league until injuries compromised his career.
alot of guys back then who handled the ball a lot couldn't shoot threes! that was the game back then for the most part! he developed it later after the injuries, but I think that's why he was injured to begin with! @@TheIcemanthomas
Three things ruined basketball. 1. Coach Popovich introduced load management. 2. The Warriors, mainly Stephen Curry. Removed the nuance of basketball and every team chucks threes all game. 3. Houston Rockets Analytics ball. Made every team play exactly the same.
Wow glad I stumbled on this video! Some of the best that ever did it. Playing draw and kick basketball without forcing three pointers. Good mixture of OGs and young studs. Miss the old school 80s and 90s NBA.
Wow…I got chills watching these highlights. This is when I really enjoyed watching the NBA and as a Lakers fan, it was heaven. Bean will always be my guy.
I must be getting old and sensitive because I get teary eyed watching this. Chick and Stu on commentary...healthy Grant Hill drinking Sprite and being one of the best players in the NBA...teenaged Kobe Bryant completely undeveloped and at about 15% and still able to take over games in the 13 minutes per game he was averaging...Wow. Being in L.A. and watching this team develop with the best big man in the game was special. We have been absolutely spoiled in Los Angeles at least up until lebron but it's ok one day he will be gone and we can get back to business. Awesome video once again VintageDawkins
Grant Hill was such a-GREAT-player and I LOVE-the Piston's uniforms back then-NICE.Shaq gave up 3/4 dunks on those pick-n-roll plays,after the first 2 dunks,maybe the coach should've changed their coverage for that play.This is back when I'd never miss an nba game.
It's funny how times change, because up until recently those Pistons uniforms were considered one of the worst in sports history. Even when they first launched back in the 90's, they were ridiculed relentlessly
Times are not forgotten ghill was a silent killer effortlessly an Kobe was nice. G two years under his belt an Kobe fresh out. You can’t deny talent. If hill never got hurt man O man. Damn they were terrified of ghill pick an roll of doom
Y’all swear every player was top ten that got hurt. Lol. Bro he played half a decade before the injuries and wasn’t remotely close to top ten trajectory. Talent wise s not enough to have top 10 potential. Just say all time great potential
@@RaheemC26so who in the top 10 would he be over ? 7 years in we knew that about Bron, Kobe , MJ , Shaq , Kareem , Grant had top 30 potential maybe 20 at best but alot of players get overhyped
I was fortunate to watch most of g hill’s games during his prime. The dude had lightning quick first steps and could go either ways, a simple right to left crossover and he was gone
I am a fan who liked NBA in the 1990s more than now. I think Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway would have won at least one ring if they hadn't been injured. At the time, they were always defeated by the East's powerhouses, the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic, and were unable to win the NBA championship. The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers were two unlucky teams, and it's been 30 years. Still didn't win. The Mavericks, Cavaliers, Raptors, Warriors, Nuggets, and Bucks also won.
Grant Hill was a multitalented, multidemsional basketball player that can play both guard positions and the small forward position. He was putting up triple-double numbers. Playing style reminds me of Scottie Pippen, LeBron James. If it had not been for those nagging injuries, he probably would have been season MVPs, NBA championships, more All-Star appearances, and been on the 75th Anniversary Greatest Players. He was that good and he was a dog. Grant Hill, Anfernee Hardaway, and Derrick Rose are my biggest "what ifs."
Hill was a top 6 player of all time potential he literally couldn't shoot and literally was cooking people with that crossover and mid game. People don't realize that the mid-game is way more efficient and effective to score points and bunches not 3-pointers
Lakers coach was TWEAKING not starting the Mamba he was so good at only 18 just pure raw talent had so much in his arsenal and so much potential to contribute majorly as a rookie he would've broken the all time scoring record if he started the first 2-3 years
@@sosickwitit247 He was more than ready! At only 17-18 he was better than Eddie Jones who was Avg 17-4-3 during those years! Kobe would've gave you that and some..
@SoCalifornia Eddie Jones was a good player while also being an all-star when kobe got there. While kobe may have put up somewhat similar numbers he would have probably been somewhat inefficient in doing so. Kobe averaged more turnovers than assists and shot 41%. Why would you start kobe when you have a then all-star caliber Jones? Kobe did not start because he was not ready, YET. Not only that he pretty much forced his way onto a team that had plenty of wings by saying he only would play for the Lakers. I don't see why Kobe would start or where the coach tweeked. Not only that, Kobe got his shot in the playoffs and had 4 late airballs vs the Jazz but that was because he was ready, right?

Absolutely !!
These pistons jerseys are so GOATed but I can’t imagine having to watch this current dogshit team play in them

As I was watching I was thinking that the commentary is amazing lol
Chick Hearn was such a good commentator
GOAT
He's the best
Definitely the GOAT
You can tell he started his career doing radio.
Classic GREAT footage! Grant was surgical before the injury, almost didn’t recognize slim Diesel 🤣, Kobe, EJ, and Van Exel…simply classic! 👍👍👍👍
That otis Thorpe dunk was a special move. And even Tho these pistons didn't go far they was exciting to watch with Terry mills 3s 🔥🔥🔥
G. Hill was 6'8" with the handle and cat-quick 1st step of a fast-twitch 6'0" point guard. It's like he was gliding.
Grant Hill was dangerous before the injuries.
He was lebron

Biggest what if in nba history besides maybe d rose

It's overwhelming how many easy dunks G. Hill created for his power forward, Otis Thorpe. It seemed like Hill was toying with the Lakers defense.

No easy buckets...except for all the blown pick and rolls the pistons scored on

Penny, Mcgrady, Rose & Hill. The biggest WHAT IF's if not for injuries.
