I'm saying that for at least two years in his career he was a guy that could have been MVP of the league...He was viewed as an elite player before injuries made his career up and down...I showed the MVP voting and the numbers...It's all there...

As for his college years, trust me when I say I hated Duke with every part of my soul...lol...HATED....But Grant Hill was a GREAT college player...And he led his team to a championship after losing Hurley and asshole Lathener (in addition to the one he got when he was just 3rd best player on that team)...

So, yeah...Hill will be a Hall of Famer...U can book it...It's more than just about stats and such...It's about your impact, talents, and how you were regarded amongst your peers...And people love/loved that kid when he got to the pros...

It's the entire picture....
