Hill blasts former teams on treatment

Well... at least he has a beautiful wife and kids outside of this.

Nobody outside of Grant Hill can appreciate what this man went through. He was one of the best athletes in the league and a future Hall-of-famer before injuries robbed him of four years of his life. He got past them and is still playing ball.

He's entitled to blow off some smoke.

Indeed.

Truly a terrible waste of the ONLY player ever worthy of being called an NBA player from Duke.

The rest of them should be in the D-league. :)

I have to give it to Duke players, they know how to rob an NBA team of money, because they never earn it.

He has a point weather you want to admit it or not. Guys like him and Penny Hardaway ruin there careers trying to come back to soon. The team doctors gives them the ok to play when they shoudln't

Crying all the way to the bank, Bro?

This is a shortened version of what Jason Whitlock wrote. I was wondering why this became a topic of interest all of a sudden. But yeah, coming back too soon is a problem. I guess these teams feel that a player is their investment, and they will use and abuse that investment in THEIR best interest; not the player's. Man... that kinda sounds like my job and the employees... LOL.

I have no compassion for him after he ran away to Phoenix to win a ring. 7 years of taking max money in Orlando and no loyalty in return.

I sincerely apologize for LBJ re-opening those wounds for ya.

So did he and his doctors not discuss his recovery time table? It is pretty common for that conversation to go occur both before and after surgery. So my question is how did he not know he wasn't supposed to be playing.

Does this change anything?

I know... but Hill was under serious pressure to play. Believe dude had a 100+ mil contract at that them was not really playing much. The fan were very mad at him and the team then.

Yes, it shows that he is bitter and lack some class. He needs to let it go. He is part to blame and those teams paid him big bucks to stay home...

bingo.. he got seriously paid when he was not playing.
