Grant Hill not ready to retire

Hmmm...he missed a ton of years in ORL so, perhaps he plays younger than his age. Even so, he'll be playing for vet min if he's playing at 40.

lol ouch. that one was below the belt. playing in phoenix has made him injury free. didnt he also miss a bunch of year in detroit?

If he comes off the bench, ok. The Suns need to be looking to the future...

time flew by so fast, i was still a little kid when he was in Detroit....

Just keep milking the cow, Bro.

grant missed most of 4 years in orl and as long as he is helping a team - playing for the vet min is not as bad as you might think - at about $1.4 million per year for 9 months per year work ( wish i had that gig )

Of knocking Grant, just saying the truth. He was healthy in Detroit right up until the end.

I'd gladly play ball for the vet min. If he's willing too as well, he'll find takers, whereas I will not. Lol

Greg Oden should take some solace hearing from Grant. Oden still has 15 years to get to where Grant is :-) Plenty of time for surgeries and more missed seasons.

Seems he wants to go out with a bang.

Hill was able to "deliver the goods" before his foot injuries. Oden is a bust. He won't be given the opportunities Grant Hill has had.

Also - The nature of the injuries are different too. Hill was a superstar before he got hurt.

When was Oden ever more than just a prospect with a lot of potential?

Well stated. Hill recovered from a freak injury, Oden is injury prone.

Grant was solid in Detroit, until the ankle injury at the end.

His time in Orlando was injury-filled, but, he's been valuable and productive in Phoenix.

He's enjoyed an overall good NBA career and has always been a good athlete.

Exactly...

... still not an established NBA player.

Hill was an all star at Detroit until the ankle injury.

Add him to the list of NBA's daily departed... Iverson, Marbury, Eddy Curry, Greg Oden... their NBA days are over like Miami's championship aspiration cos they got Bron & Bosh...

He doesn't have near the miles on his legs and body that others his age would normally have. He was always a class guy, and good citizen. Too bad his youth was robbed by injuries.
