Hill: At first, Clippers 'weren't the team' for him

After all them years sticking up Orlando you should consider yourself to be a very rich stickup artis that people have interest in. You can still play granted, but you're no longer a stalwart con man!

If Nash going to the Lakers is like transferring from Duke to UNC, is his going to the Clippers like him transferring from Duke to NC State??

I'm pretty sure Hill didn't injure himself on purpose.

I can't believe Grant Hill would be playing on any team at this point.

I had what seemed like a six or seven year hiatis from bb action so his legs are somewhat kinda fresh with a little life in them........you gotta remember the only time he use them was when he was knee deep in his wife's ass hittin it all the while lacing his pockets deep wit the Magic's cash.....whatta a life. C'mon Grant, pass me somma yo mojo!

*He had what seemed

Right...its not like he was dogging it. The man was chronically injured...although its interesting to note that he along with McGrady, Shaq and Penny all said the ORL training staff wasnt that good and that the staff in Phoenix rejuvenated their bodies. There could be something there...

Grant is a warrior, class in the flesh...never heard anything but good about this guy since DUKE. Pro sports needs more Grant Hills

I could not agree more.

Right City But The Wrong Team, Bro.

He took Orlando's money for 7 years and then ran away to Phx rather than help Orlando. He's just another selfish rich jerk. Fake classy guy.

As a Magic fan who live through that period, I do not agree. When he finally did get "healed" there was no guarantee he'd be playing at the level he is now. It was in the mutual interest of both parties to go their own ways.

Not true. The Magic wanted him to stay but he wanted to go win a title with Phoenix who was a top team at that point. He could have helped mentor Dwight. Orlando had as rookie in the starting lineup when they went to the Finals. Grant would have been perfect.Grant took the money and left.

So...you are mad at Grant but NOT Dwight?? Hmmm...come on MMA, thought you were better than that. How do you know that ORL didnt want Grant any more? Or how about the issue wit his ankle? He had already heard that PHX trainers are miracle workers so maybe he thought to do what was best for his body. Im just sayin...There are plenty of guys who dog it and "steal" money. Grant isnt one of those guys...he could have walked away with the guaranteed contract and NOT try to play again but he gave his all year in and year out while in ORL but it just didnt work out. Maybe its the karma of that city??

WOW! A Clipper thread.

Good luck to the Clippers. May the odds be ever in your favor.



Except when playing the Lakers of course. Hehehehehehe
