Grant Hill

Grant Hill was a 6′ 8″ wing that could do it all. This honor has to be bittersweet for him. Limited by injuries throughout his NBA career, he sadly didn’t ever get to see his prime and that says a lot that he was still good enough through college and the pros to deserve such career-recognition. Can you imagine if he was able to see his best days how much greater he could have been, even though, he still carried out a 19-year professional career with a loaded resume that included being named to All-NBA teams in 5 of his first 6 NBA seasons? Hill was also selected to seven All-Star games. The man deserves props for not giving up after all the hardship and forcing through, re-styling his game and still finishing in the Top-100 all-time in total points scored. Suns fans recall him suiting up in purple and orange for a good run in the valley. Congrats Grant Hill!
