Grant Hill was a better player than Pierce too...

Grant Hill was a better player than Pierce too...

had he not gone through that foot injury i wonder what the magic would have been able to do, hell i wonder what he would have been able to do. he seemed to have it all except for a consistent 3

[verb_to_trust]

Grant Hill was something special. All 'What If' First Team.

Grant Hill was a better player than Pierce too...

LOL. No.

Pierce had 5 years of 25+ PPG. Hill had one. Peirce's peak years lasted twice as long as Hill's. Pierce has scored almost 10,000 more career points than Hill, has more all-star appearances (6 to 10) and was Finals MVP.

[verb_to_trust]

Pierce had longevity. So what? Hill was a better basketball player who was unlucky enough to get hurt. Given the choice between a healthy Grant Hill and a healthy PP im taking Hill 1,000 out of 1,000 times. Only thing Pierce could do better than Hill was get stabbed at bars.

[nyquillyn]

How was he a better basketball player, verb? What standard are you using?

[verb_to_trust]

My eyes. You can back choosing Pierce up with stats I guess but Grant Hill was an extremely well rounded special talent before injuries derailed him. Even then he was still able to adapt his game to have a long career. Pierce stuffed stats on primarily shitty celtics teams until KG and Ray Allen showed up.

[nyquillyn]

Your eyes, right. That's a standard we can all relate to.

[verb_to_trust]

I like to kill time on basketball reference as much as the next guy but there is sometimes more to the story than stats.

[nyquillyn]

Like what?

[nyquillyn]

Hill wasn't a great defender.

[verb_to_trust]

And pierce was?

[nyquillyn]

No, he wasn't. I'm just looking for this quality that makes Hill better than Pierce.

Is it all of his Really Nice Guy awards?

[verb_to_trust]

You've been too exposed to Suns basketball over the years to understand.

[nyquillyn]

Which means I saw Hill play in person about 20 times.

[verb_to_trust]

Yeah but that was off brand Grant Hill...who still gave Phoenix decent production.

[nyquillyn]

I know Hill is a nice guy, but I still wonder if he slept with Nash's wife. I mean Grant would have been the only Sun not to have slept with her.

[verb_to_trust]

Nash wasnt the best looking dude.

[verb_to_trust]

Kyrie had a really good game tonight. God thats so disappointing.

Also:SIXERS!!
