I just got thinking about Grant Hill and I kind of forgot the version of him before Orlando and injuries set in. I looked into it to jog my memory.

He played for 6 seasons rarely missing any games and put up great numbers. I then looked up his Pistons highlights and I cant believe I forgot how amazing this guy was as an athlete. Combine that with his heady all around game and we would be talking about an all timer if it werent for a string of truly bizarre injuries including a staff infection of his ankle that nearly took his life.

Any way check out the highlight clips. This guy dunked on everyone. He also rebounded, handled the ball exeptionally well and is a good passer. Enjoy!

Post any videos here of players who have been forgotten over time or looking back simply just do not get enough credit.

Ron Mercer

nice sweater

I was going to put Ron Mercer up! A truly forgotten talent. I thought he was going to be an all star for years in Green.

How about...Hollywood Harper. In his Cleveland days he played like Dr J.

Or these three guys. All three underrated mostly forgotten talents. Dumars gets props in retrospect for winning titles but was overshadowed by Thomas.

Obviously he is not forgotten, but this is for all the people who think Vince Carter is even close to as good of a dunker as Michael.

always one of my favorite non-celtics.  Too bad he had so many injuries, some freakish ones too.

Amare Stoudemi....who??  No no no....It's all about Antonio McDyess.

McDyess was probably, outside of Dominique, the best two-foot dunker ever.
He could go off of 1 foot, but if you let him get a two-foot gather it was POSTER TIME!!!!!
