who does he knock off the TNT studio show? I hope it is not Shaq. He made it clear he wants a broadcasting gig when he said he wanted to join his contemporaries.

I saw the guy walking down the street a couple times. Incredibly skinny.  Doesn't actually seem all that tall and I'm short

I hope he or Chris Webber replaces Shaq.  The big fella is just not suited to be an analyst.

I don't see him as Hall of Fame unless you count his college stuff. I guess his Olympic gold might put him over the top

Great player, injuries really derailed him, was sensational from 94-2000.

He's the very definition of All Around player. Doing it on every ends of the court.

Class act to boot. He had a great career without injuries, could have been way better if he wasn't hobbled by injuries.

Much respect.

Sad day for the NBA.  Hill, had he been healthy could have been a top 20 player all-time.

Must say, of all non-Celtic players, Grant Hill is hands down my favorite ever.

DUKE!!!

One thing I love about him is the way he pwned the Fab Five and reminds them every chance he gets as unapologetically as possible.
