more dominant and impactful player on teams he played on in college definitely and in the pros also.

How many players have you ever seen step out of JUCO and become the best player on the no.#1 ranked (Div. 1) team in the country?

LJ has been regarded as one of the greatest collegiate players to ever play the game. I've heard some analysts say he was the most ready made NBA player in the last 20 yrs in terms of physical maturity and ability.

Grant Hill, great college career but definitely not one of the all time greats and put up stellar numbers on those Pistons teams but he could never get his team out of the 1st round which to me lessens your argument for him being better than LJ. In 1997, the Pistons posted a record of 54-28 and lost in the 1st round to a Hawks team who's best player was Steve Smith.

And next season, the Pisons had better personnel around Grant and they didn't even make the playoffs.

Sure, the east was tough back then but it ain't like the Pistons were horrible all those yrs Grant was there. They won 46 gms in 1996, 54 in 1997 (3rd in the east), and only 37 in 1998. He had some quality players around him also; it ain't like he was surrounded by Lebron's supporting cast in Cleveland

Close, but the edge goes to LJ...
