If it wasn't for injuries, Grant would be a top 15 NBA player EVER.
IMO, he would be in the same tier as guys like Bird and Magic Johnson.

I have MJ, Lebron, and Bill Russell on the top tier.
Grant would be in tier 2 along with Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Hakeem, and a few others.

Also went to school with Grant; a SUPER nice guy. Even when I bothered him for an autograph, he was cool:) One of the absolute best Dukies EVER and an amazing representative of our university, both in terms of basketball but also beyond basketball.

BTW, I know I recommend this often, and I am not even sure where to find it (sorry, I am not too knowledgeable about streaming and all of that)... but if you can find the Oprah Masterclass on Grant Hill, WATCH IT; one of the absolute best pieces I've ever seen on one of our guys. An hour long, went way beyond basketball, and REALLY gets into detail about his injury... it is STUNNING how close he came to dying!!!

Wonderful news for my favorite Dukie. If he hadn't had so many injuries no doubt in my mind he would one of the 50 top NBA players of all time even with all those great tar heel players. OFC
