'''Grant Henry Hill''' (born [[October 5]], [[1972]]) is an [[United States|American]] professional [[basketball]] player currently playing for the [[NBA]]'s [[Phoenix Suns]]. He is 2.04 m (6 ft 8 in). As a [[college basketball|collegiate]] and early professional, Hill was considered one of the best all-around players in the game, often leading his team in points, [[rebound (basketball)|rebounds]] and [[assist (basketball)|assists]]. His stint in the league has been hampered by career-threatening injuries, notably towards the late part of his career.
==Early life and college==
Grant Hill was born in [[Dallas, Texas]], while his father, [[Calvin Hill|Calvin]], was starring as a [[running back]] for the [[National Football League]]'s [[Dallas Cowboys]], winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in [[1969 NFL season|1969]]. His mother Janet was a [[Wellesley College|Wellesley]] graduate, who shared a suite with [[Hillary Clinton]] when both were freshmen there.<ref>[http://gazette.net/stories/042707/polinew215251_32325.shtml Reporters Notebook: Conspiracy theory? O’Malley signs two versions of bills<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> After his father's NFL career ended, the family settled in [[Reston, Virginia]], where Grant became a high-school superstar at [[South Lakes High School]], and he was selected for the 1990 [[McDonald's All-American Team]].
When the time came to choose a college, Hill's mother states in the [[Fox Sports]] "[[Beyond the Glory]]" documentary about Hill's career, that she wanted him to attend [[Georgetown University]], while his father preferred the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|University of North Carolina]]. Hill chose a neutral path and decided to attend [[Duke University]]. Hill played four years with the Duke [[Duke Blue Devils basketball|Blue Devils]], winning national titles in [[1991 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1991]] and [[1992 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1992]], where Duke became the first Division I program to win consecutive titles since [[UCLA]] in [[1973 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1973]]. Despite losing two of the biggest contributors on the Blue Devils, [[Christian Laettner]] and [[Bobby Hurley]] (who went on to play in the NBA), Hill led Duke to the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|championship game]] once again in [[1994 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1994]], but ended up losing to [[University of Arkansas|Arkansas]] [[Arkansas Razorbacks#Basketball|Razorbacks]]. Hill won the [[Henry Iba Corinthian Award]] as the nation's top defensive player in 1993, and in [[1994 in sports|1994]] he was the [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]] Player Of the Year. During his collegiate career, Hill became the first player in ACC history to collect more than 1900 points, 700 rebounds, 400 assists, 200 steals and 100 blocked shots. As a result of his successful college career, he became the 8th player in Duke history to have his jersey number (33) retired. After his freshman season at Duke, Hill played on the bronze-winning U.S. team at the [[1991 Pan American Games]], held in [[Havana]], [[Cuba]].
Hill is also widely known for his role in a desperation play in an [[NCAA tournament]] regional final against [[University of Kentucky|Kentucky]] in 1992, which many consider to be the greatest college basketball game of all time. With Duke down 103-102 in [[overtime (sports)|overtime]] and only 2.1 seconds remaining after Kentucky's [[Sean Woods]] hit a floater, an unguarded Hill heaved the in-bounds pass 75 feet across the court into the hands of [[Christian Laettner]], who dribbled once and spun before pulling up to make the game-winning jumper from just outside the free-throw line as time expired.
==NBA career and Team USA==
===Detroit Pistons (1994–2000)===
Grant Hill was drafted by the [[Detroit Pistons]] with the third pick in the [[1994 NBA Draft|NBA Draft]] after graduating from Duke in 1994. He entered the league to high expectations, where many expected him to be the future face of the league in a time when [[Michael Jordan]] was retired. In his first season, he averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.77 steals per game, and became the first Pistons rookie since [[Isiah Thomas]] in [[1981-82 NBA season|1981-82]] to score 1000 points. Hill ended up sharing [[NBA Rookie of the Year Award]] honors with [[Jason Kidd]] of the [[Dallas Mavericks]], becoming the first Piston since [[Dave Bing]] in [[1966-67 NBA season|1966-67]] to win the award. Hill also won the [[Sporting News]] Rookie Of the Year award. He was named to the all-NBA first team in [[1997 in sports|1997]], and all-NBA second teams in [[1996 in sports|1996]], [[1998 in sports|1998]], [[1999 in sports|1999]] and [[2000 in sports|2000]]. Hill also regularly played in the [[National Basketball Association All-Star Game|NBA All-Star Game]], where he made history by being the first rookie ever to lead an NBA All-Star fan balloting in ([[1994-95 NBA season|1994-95]]) with 1,289,585 votes<ref>[http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-6325252_ITM Hill's record 1,289,585 votes will go down in all-star history. | Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service (January , 1995)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, narrowly defeating [[Shaquille O'Neal]]. In fact, Hill became the first rookie in all major sports to get most votes for an All-Star game.
In his second season ([[1995-96 NBA season|1995-96]]), he once again led the All-Star fan balloting, this time edging Michael Jordan (Jordan's first All-Star game after returning since retiring in [[1993 in sports|1993]]). During the 1995-96 season, Hill showcased his all-round abilities by leading the NBA in [[triple-double]]s (10). He also won a [[gold medal]] at the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] as a member of the [[United States men's national basketball team#1996 U.S. Olympic Basketball Team|U.S. men's basketball team]], where he had the team's fifth highest scoring average (9.7) and led the team in steals (18). Hill's [[1996-97 NBA season|1996-97 season]] was his finest yet, with averages of 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He became the first player since [[Larry Bird]] in [[1989-90 NBA season|1989-90]] to average 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in a season, an accomplishment that has not been duplicated since. Once again, Hill led the league in triple-doubles, where his 13 triple-doubles represented 35 percent of the league's triple-double total that season. He was the league's Player of the Month for January and was also awarded NBA's [[IBM Award]], given to the player with the biggest statistical contributions to his team. He finished third in [[NBA Most Valuable Player Award|MVP]] voting, behind [[Karl Malone]] and Michael Jordan.
Much like [[Scottie Pippen]] with the [[Chicago Bulls|Bulls]], Hill assumed the role of a "[[point forward]]" in Detroit, running the Pistons offense. As a result, between the 1995-96 and 1998-99 NBA seasons, Hill was the league leader in assists per game among non-guards all four seasons. In the [[1998-99 NBA season|lockout-shortened 1999 season]], as he led his team in points, rebounds and assists for the third time, Grant Hill joined [[Wilt Chamberlain]] and [[Elgin Baylor]] as the only players in NBA history to lead their teams in scoring, rebounding and assists more than once. Hill and Chamberlain are the only two players in league history to lead their teams in points, rebounds and assists per game three times. Hill was selected to play in the [[1998 FIBA World Championship]], but in the end no NBA players played in this tournament due to the [[lockout (industry)|lockout]].
Hill's [[1999-2000 NBA season|1999-2000]] season showed that he could be one of NBA's truly dominant scorers. He averaged 25.8 points while shooting 49% from the field, the season's third highest scoring average, behind MVP Shaquille O'Neal and [[Allen Iverson]]. He maintained solid overall numbers, averaging 6.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. However, despite Hill's individual accomplishments in Detroit, the Pistons never made it far in the playoffs, either losing in the first round ([[1996 NBA Playoffs|1996]], [[1997 NBA Playoffs|1997]] and [[1999 NBA Playoffs|1999]]), or missing the playoffs entirely in the 1994-95 and [[1997-98 NBA season|1997-98 seasons]]. The [[2000 NBA Playoffs|2000 playoffs]] would be no different. On [[April 15]], [[2000]], 7 days before the start of the playoffs, Hill sprained his left [[ankle]] in a game against the [[Philadelphia 76ers]]. Despite his hurting ankle, Hill was bothered by being labeled "soft" by some Pistons fans and thus decided to play against the first round opponent, [[Miami Heat]]. However, his injured ankle got worse and Hill was forced to leave halfway through game 2. Eventually, the Heat swept the Pistons 3-0. Hill was initially selected for the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] U.S. team, but could not play due to his ankle injury, which would prove to be a major liability for many years to come.
After the first six seasons of his career, before his ankle injury, Hill had a total of 9,393 points, 3,417 rebounds and 2,720 assists. [[Oscar Robertson]] and Larry Bird are the only two players in league history to eclipse these numbers after their first six seasons.
===Orlando Magic (2000–2007)===
On [[August 3]], [[2000]], Hill forced the Pistons to send him to the [[Orlando Magic]], in what appeared to be a one-sided sign-and-trade deal in favor of Orlando for [[Chucky Atkins]] and [[Ben Wallace]]. The Magic hoped he would team up with fellow superstar [[Tracy McGrady]], who had been signed away from the [[Toronto Raptors]] at that time, to return Orlando among the NBA elite. But Hill had been hampered by ankle injuries ever since his arrival in Orlando, playing in only four games in his [[2000-01 NBA season|first]] season with the Magic, 14 games in his [[2001-02 NBA season|second]] and 29 in his [[2002-03 NBA season|third]]. He was forced to sit out his ''entire'' fourth year with Orlando ([[2003-04 NBA season|2003–04]]). Meanwhile, the Pistons, who had defeated the Magic in the [[2003 NBA Playoffs|2003 Playoffs]] but ended losing to the New Jersey Nets in Eastern Conference Finals, won the championship the next year in [[2003-04 NBA season|2004]].
In March 2003, Hill underwent a major surgical procedure in which doctors re-fractured his ankle and realigned it with his leg bone. Five days after the surgery was performed, the unexpected happened: Hill developed a 104.5 °F (40.3 °C) [[fever]] and [[convulsion]]s. He was immediately rushed to a [[hospital]]. Doctors removed the splint around his ankle and discovered that Hill had developed a [[Staphylococcus aureus|staph]] infection, from which he nearly died. He was hospitalized for a week and had to take [[intravenous]] [[antibiotics]] for six months.
The [[2004-05 NBA season|2004–05 season]] saw a return to the old Grant Hill, who was so popular earlier in his career. Hill, though hampered by a bruised left shin that caused him to miss several games, started and played 67 games for the Magic, well over the combined amount of games he played for the Magic the previous four seasons. He was named the Eastern Conference player of the week for the week between [[November 15]]–[[November 21]] [[2004]]. Over the season, Hill averaged 19.7 points per game on a .509 field goal percentage. Fans voted him an All-Star starter again, and he led the Eastern Conference All-Star Team to a victory over the West. In addition, at the conclusion of the season, Hill was awarded the [[Joe Dumars Trophy]] presented to the [[NBA Sportsmanship Award]] Winner.
During the [[2005-06 NBA season|2005–06 season]], Hill was once again injured frequently as nagging groin injuries kept him sidelined for much of the first half of the season, limiting him to 21 games. He got a sports [[hernia]] that was caused by an uneven pressure on Hill's feet while he was running, due to concerns that he could re-aggravate the injury on his left ankle if it got too much pressure. Hill underwent surgery for the hernia and has since stated that he would consider retirement if he has to get another surgery.
In the [[2006-07 NBA season|2006–07 season]], Hill returned from injuries despite numerous rumors surrounding his retirement. Hill received ankle rotation therapy from specialists in [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia|BC]] during the off-season and has stated that he has regained much motion in his left ankle. Hill returned to the Magic lineup, starting at the [[shooting guard]] position. Despite having problems with injuries on his left knee and a [[tendon]] in his left ankle, Hill managed to play 65 games, two short of the highest number of games he played over a single season as a member of the Magic. He finished the season with averages of 14.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. This season would see Hill return to the playoffs for the first time since 2000, his first playoff appearance with the Magic. The 8th seed Magic would meet Hill's old team, the Detroit Pistons, in the first round. The Pistons' vast playoff experience would prevail over the inexperienced Magic, who had not seen significant post-season action for some years, and despite having some close games, the series would end with a 4–0 Pistons sweep, leaving Hill undecided on whether to return for the [[2007-08 NBA season|2007–08 season]] with the Magic, sign with another team, or retire.<ref>[http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2007/news/story?id=2852728 Beset by injuries in career, Hill considers retirement], updated [[April 28]], [[2007]]</ref>
===Phoenix Suns (2007–present)===
Hill became an unrestricted free agent on [[July 1]], [[2007]]. On [[July 5]], Hill's agent, Lon Babby, said Hill intended to sign with the [[Phoenix Suns]] on [[July 11]] (the first day free agents can officially sign contracts).<ref>[http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2926650 Hill to sign with Phoenix after agreeing to two-year deal] [[July 5]], 2007</ref> Hill will earn $1.83 million for [[2007-08 NBA season|2007–08]], with a $1.97 million player option for the next year. Hill was given permission by Suns Ring of Honor member [[Alvan Adams]] to wear his familiar No. 33 with the Suns. Hill has adapted well to the Suns' up-tempo style, averaging double figures in points as a key role player for Phoenix in the early months of the 2007-08 season. He played in the team's first 34 games before an emergency appendectomy on January 9, [[2008]], sidelined him for two weeks. Despite being bothered by multiple injuries throughout the season, Hill had his first 70-game season since leaving Detroit, averaging 13.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg and 2.9 apg in the process.

* In the 1990s, one of Sprite's longest-running ad campaigns was "Grant Hill Drinks [[Sprite (soft drink)|Sprite]]" (overlapping its "Obey Your Thirst" campaign), in which Hill's abilities, and Sprite's importance in giving him his abilities, were humorously exaggerated.[http://www.metacafe.com/watch/47179/sprite_and_its_meaning/][http://www.advertisementave.com/tv/ad.asp?adid=116]
