Grant Hill on the Dan Patrick Show

[Tigole Bitties]

Dan asked Grant Hill if he had to choose between the Phoenix Suns or San Antonio Spurs to win an NBA championship.

He's trying to be all political about it. He said Phoenix fits his style more and would rather go there. :rolleyes

[lebomb]

Good......his broken down ass would not last a few games before he would be on IR.

[maxpower]

He knows he will get no special treatment in SA.

[SenorSpur]

I just heard that too.

He did list the following criteria that will be important to him as he goes through his selection process:

1. Chance to win a championship
2. Not getting killed in practice
3. Team Chemistry

I still believe he would be a better fit in San Antonio.

[SpursWoman]

He said Phoenix fits his style more

Which is probably why he has yet to win one. :shootme :lol

[nkdlunch]

he is right. he can't play defense for shit

[Extra Stout]

I'm not sure whether it's sillier to care about where a player in steep decline like Grant Hill wants to play, or to get bent out of shape that he wouldn't want to gravy-train off Tim Duncan

I still believe he would be a better fit in San Antonio.

1. Sure there's a chance. Even Memphis had a chance.
2. D'Antoni probably only practices offensive plays
3. Getting spoon fed from Nash. Why not?

He'd certainly fit the mold -- Glenn Robinson, Michael Finley, and Steve Kerr.

I'd take him.

[ThomasGranger]

For players in his position the obvious answer is Phoenix, whatever justifications he may give. If he says SA, it looks like he is trying to ride the coat tails of a champion to get a ring. If he says Phoenix, people can debate whether or not he will be "the missing piece" or "veteran leadership" they need to go all the way.

[Strike]

I really don't give a shit about Grant Hill.

[Mr. Body]

Guys like Phoenix better because you don't have to work very hard there - hit your spots, shoot lots of three pointers, have fun.

is Prince making lot of money? could we have him in the SPurs.

he would fit like a glove. good defender and good offensive player.

sorry to break it to you but Prince is not the reason youlost. Sheed and a finished billups are the reason. not to mention Rip's turnovers. and webber's pathetic ass.

It was the curse of Webber.

Paid to play NCAA basketball. Lied about it. threw the guy that paid him under the bus.

The famous "time out"

The curse of Webber strikes again.

I just heard that too.

He did list the following criteria that will be important to him as he goes through his selection process:

1. Chance to think you have a shot to win a championship
2. Don't have to play defense
3. Get handed all the minutes you want without working for them



fify.

go back and look at the box scores sunny.

[leemajors]

i wouldn't single prince out, but he did have a pretty bad series offensively.

[Rynospursfan]

Box scores don't mean crap if you watched the games. Billups choked, time and time again.

[nkdlunch]

go back and look at the box scores sunny.

because box scores tell the whole tale :rolleyes

I forgot to mention another reason you lost if Flip. So Prince is far far from being the main reason.

I would take Prince in the Spurs in a second.

[Warlord23]

Sure he'd pick Phoenix. In SA he'll be riding the pine if he doesn't play defense and bring it during practice, no matter how good a shooter/passer he is. Remember when Brent Barry was signed, there was a lot of hype about how he was going to get so many open looks and help SA maintain its superpower status? Well, Pop has made Barry earn every single minute he's played, and he hasn't played much.

There are no superstars in Pop's system, and no freebies based on reputation. There's no way Hill will get major minutes with Manu/Finley/Bruce competing for the swing spots.

In Phoenix he gets to compete with James Jones for a starting spot. Also, if Marion is traded as many are speculating, he gets even more minutes. And those minutes come in a freewheeling, trigger-happy, no-defense system.

With a history of frequent injuries and a suspect defensive reputation, Hill and Phoenix are made for each other.

Joumana would probably like Phoenix better than San Antonio and she definitely wears the pants in that family.

Grant Hill is married to the singer Tamia.

Sorry, you are correct. She didn't like SA either back when the Hill/Duncan tandem was being discussed adnauseum.

That's Jason Kidd fool....

And I don't even know if they are still together...

Grant Hill would probably snap his ankle with all of that running in Phoenix, I don't want him anyway, we need to get younger not older and broke down...
