How good could have Grant Hill been

[Pesci]

i would have only been like 9, but i seem to remember some of those pistons teams he was on being complete ass. lindsey hunter might have been their 2nd best player at one point

 

[Goatpoacher]

Thread title is giving me a headache

 

[Bomberman]

The thing about the all-time greats is that they actually DID it. I wouldn't say anybody could potentially be included in that list, they'd actually have to do it or challenge for a spot in order to get placed there. Even "theoretically" based on "potential" falls short of consideration.

i just posted the video of him dunking of Mourning on facebook

my homeboy who is an avid UCLA fan literally said, " I hate duke....but you won't hear me saying anything bad about Grant Hill. I truly believe he had the potential to be top 5 all time if it wasn't for the injuries. Lebron with a better skill set"

 

[thelonious21]

NOBODY was saying Grant Hill was the best player in the nba in 96-98 he was considered top 5.You're the one that sounds dumb

FYM DFOH

Injures was a setback for Hill.

 

[Liquid]

Could have been a top 10-15 player of all time, that's how ridiculous he was.

no chance

tell me who he couldve surpassed on this list (which isnt even just ten) to get into the top 10

jabbar, jordan, wilt, russell, shaq, kobe, bird, magic, duncan, dream, big o, baylor, dr j, lebron, zeke, both malones, stockton, pippen, david robinson, kevin mchale, ewing

there are 22 players there with some greats left off and some on there that MAYBE you could make an argument if grant kept up his peak numbers for almost his whole career. even a few on there without rings.

Why you got them old ass people in your top 10 and you ain't never seen em play. How many bill Russell and big o games you seen.

People like you look at stats and swear you know wtf was going on.

 

[Draje]

Anyone who thinks Hill is better than Bron is stupid and takes Lebron for granted.

I love Grant but his best year in the NBA is what Lebron has averaged his entire NBA career.

Lebron's average season is Grant Hill's best season.

I can see him go down as top 20, maybe fringe top 15, had he stayed healthy, but all these talks of him having top 5-10 potential is ridiculous imo

youre an idiot

so grant hill is > wilt, kaj, big o, bill russell etc because were not ancient enough to watch them play live?

so when kids who werent old enough to see any jordan games start talking he shouldnt be top 10 to them? and bron in the future?

hes not top 10 or 15 out of players ive seen play..and ive read about and watched a lot of film on the other greats

So you sit around and watch film of basketball games from the 60's and 70's


Newsflash dummy you think kids 16 years old talking bout Jordan. Fukk no they on the court screaming kd or lebron or somebody that's playing now.

If I'm naming the top players, it's gonna be people I seen play for years. Not about to just go back and look at stats and go by what some old nikkas say on tv.

Outta here

Or we could've seen them both play and compared their games and think hill was better.
