    Does Grant Hill have any shot at the Basketball Hall of Fame??
    got to admire his perserverence through the years of injuries in his prime but will he have done enough?

    is he just an accumulator that is playing too far into his old age?

    No chance.

    Archie, you must be really desperate for conversation this evening if you're starting this thread. What's going on? Are you and your wife having problems?

      I disagree thegiant

      Grant hill had a better pro career than Ralph Sampson and actually won a lot at the college level unlike Sampson

      Remember that the hoops hof isn't just about the MBA thegiant

            Its the basketball hall of fame not NBA

            so his HS career and College Career are going to help alot.

            3 NCAA championship games with 2 titles

                he was voted in, he did not even play a game some of those seasons he was an "all star"

                Laettner was a legit all star and started over #1 pick Kwame Brown

                  maybe if he becomes a successful coach to go along with his playing career which is very plausible

                    Love him or hate him, Laettner is one of the most accomplished and decorated college players to ever lace em up.

                      so in your mind Laetner was a better NBA player than grant hill?

                        that wont count you can get in the HOF twice as both player and coach Lenny Wilkens, Larry Brown are if not others.

                          no but he was a better college player and neither accomplished much in the NBA

                            Hill played in 6x the amount of all star games. He may not be HOF. But was light years better than Laettner. It's not even close

                              Hill was one of the biggest losers of all time did not get out of the first round until his 15th year in the league. Antawn Jamison, Hill, and McGrady a three way tie for biggest loser in NBA history

                                  Grant hill gets in the basketball hall of fame if he buys a ticket like the rest of us degenerates.

                                    Probably not but certainly not out of the question.

                                      so many guys posting in this thread have no idea how the nba hof works

                                      it's pretty much a joke

                                      look at hill's stats and his nba career is VERY similar to chris mullin's

                                      mullin is in the hof

                                      and wasnt an ncaa champ and really didnt accomplish dick with his teams in the nba either

                                      you idiots have convinced me that grant hill is a lock

                                      but like i said it means nothing because the bball hof is a joke

                                          actually now that people have reminded me in this thread multiple times

                                          I guess a better question..... or more closer to in is Tracy McGrady

                                          I think both Hill and McGrady have interesting cases to be made for and against.

                                                                I'd edge towards no but it's closer then people think

                                                                He had a great college career and was an elite all-star/difference maker in the pro's before injuries started to heavily derail his career.

                                                                2 national titles, ACC POTY, Rookie of the year, Rookie First-Team, 7 time all-star, all-nba in '97, Olympic gold winner in Atlanta 96.

                                                                It's amazing that he's still ranked fourth amongst active players in triple doubles (ahead of Kobe and KG!)
