    Grant Hill is as brittle as a Ritz Cracker and does not deserve the kind of money he's getting. I'd flame him too if I were his coach.

    He plays less than Dream for Pete's sake!

    Before the ankle injury, I think Hill missed 25 games over his first 5 or 6 years. Go check me on that.....

    It's simply amazing to me that a guy like Hill, because he is quiet and won't start or engage in fights, is a wimp.

    When he was healthy, he was a triple-double threat every night. He has "quietly" dominated opponents with his extremely well-rounded game night in and night out. Hill could be considered one of the best and most well-rounded players in the 90's.

    Call him what you will, but career averages of 21.4 ppg, 7.9 boards per game, 6.2 assists per game, and 1.56 steals per game, not to mention 47% shooting should tell you something.

    That's a hell of a wimp. I wonder how all those opponents feel about a wimp busting their chops.

    I remember Jordan going after Reggie Miller, but running like a lil bi*ch from Maxwell.

    Relying on numbers to prove he's a man deflects from the true picture. Hill was a complete basketball player, but he lacked the intestinal fortitude to put his team on his back and carry them to victory. He didn't make the rest of his team-mates better or inspire them to play at the top of his ability. He never showed the ability to night in and night out dominate teams---to dare them to stop him.

    That just wasn't him. Thats why he caught the label that he did.

    Nor does your argument or the supporting article make him a wimp. The article talks about fighting and temper, not the facts you cited above. The things you just mentioned are an entirely different subject.
