Grant hill was so smooth and lethal.

Hill had the best drive in the NBA that ive ever seen, smooth, quick, gliding and change of pace that got layups and dunks. One of the best ive ever seen and among most underrated ever.

Now everyone's trying to be a Point Forward. Grant Hill ahead of his time

He would have averaged 30ppg if he did not get injured. He was getting there. Mr. Grant Hill with the FILA and Sprite commercials.

My 13yr old self was at this game. The atmosphere was incredible. One of the best experiences of my life. I remember going down to the floor a couple hours before tip-off and watching the Lakers do their shoot-around. I yelled at Kobe and he gave me a little head nod.

had he not had all those injuries , he would have been top 5 greatest players to ever played

Piston should bring back those old jerseys..

I love Grant Hill is not afraid to score inside the juggernaut Lakers! So smooth & lethal... He really gave the Lakers the work that night!

He flamed the Lakers! Dimes on dimes! He dogged Shaq wit hella dimes. Floaters where crazy! Had the Lakers crowd on his side. Destroyed Kobe. Destroyed Robert Horry. Nick Van Exel had NOTHIN! Eddie Jones had NOTHIN! Lays for days! I remember watching this game back when I was a kid. I wanted Grant Hills shoes after this game.

Still the quickest 6'8" and up player I've seen

he was lebron james before lebron james its a shame he had all those injuries

Could have been an all time great

Grant Hill was the blend of Jordan and Pippen

He was the triple double machine back then. Smooth.

Hill is a artist on the court, performing powerful but beautiful basketball skills.

My favorite player

Boy. They were so much more physical during the 90s. And even more so in the 80s. Sheesh.

Everything on his hands was so so smooth, enjoyable to watch

when you watch his game , it almost feels like they fast forwarded the video. The dude was a pleasure to watch. When everyone was wearing jordans, i had 3 pairs of grant hills

analyst saying lebron james is the first they have seen that came to this league to be a dominant superstar, a scorer and also unselfish player, making his teammates better, well this man is the original dominant player, scorer and unselfish superstar who makes his teammates better. how come they forget so fast and get blinded by the present.

probably the best ball handler i've ever seen at the SF position

I can't believe I found this game. KZfaq is absolutely amazing. I watched this game when I was 14 and never forgot it. Lifelong Pistons fan and Grant Hill was my favorite player then. That was my guy. This was such a fun time watching the Pistons.

80-80 at the end of regulation. I miss those days.

Love hearing Chick Hearn on this. If you didn't know he was the PbP guy for the Lakers you'd never know it by listening to his call of this game. It's extremely fair and he seems to fan out on Hill's game.

He one of the best player I have ever seem before his injuries!

Grant Hill was the quicker and more athletic version of Scottie Pippen in offense. Granted Pippen had a bit better 3 pointer and was a bit better defender but the similarities are there.

3:17 gahhh DAYUM!

He was a God. It’s a real shame that he was plagued with injuries. Close to Michael Jordan ability, but 6‘8“.

Hill was brilliant! Just brilliant!

Grant Hill was a Monster of Basketball Player Incredible!

Damn...if he never had that major injury 👑👑

Great Vid! Love Listening to Chick Hearn(R.i.p). And Stu Lantz the. Goat !🐐

grant hill was rare for his time his game would be perfect today

pistons are bringing those teal jerseys back this season ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Grant went crazy

If only he wasnt hurt all the time

Can you post some more old school players like this? nice video

What a great player!!!!!!!!

I saw these two teams play each other live late November 96 in Auburn hills The Pistons lost the game but damn look at all the legends on the floor. I miss the golden era of bball.

G Hill, MAN THIS dude was legit!!

Damn Grant Hill really was just as good as Jordan

He reminds me of a more athletic kawhi Leonard! Very smooth and efficient

Wow GRANT HILL was HIM Sheeesh he passes the ball like a true PG And gets to the basket effortlessly AT WILL! And he turns his quickness on like a switch!! Almost like he can score anytime he wishes! Never realized how good of a baller he was! I am definitely going to help my future son emulate his game like Hills

Reminds me of my game when I used to play

He had the worst injury out of all the goats. God damn it was so bad . Like I remember waiting season after season for his come back.

1:59 "One of the Lakers went airborne and came down on his back, I think it was Kobe." That ain't no Kobe, sir ...

The Pistons in the late 90s should've been something.

hill was money, but damn ortiz thorpe was just a machine!

i think i saw nick van exel...how quick they forgot about him ,rarely read his name

Grant Hill nice

When you only disliked Grant Hill out of envy, being a Pippen, Penny, J-Kidd fan. He was better than all of them.

Man... grant took those hard fouls by shaq like it was nothing, kept attacking him all throughout the game.

Go Detroit Pistons

I had the same numbers today on 2k

During this time, I'd say hill and penny were the two most popular and peak players in the league besides jordan. People were starting to get tired of mj and g hill brought that freshness with his smooth effortless style and triple double threat every night. I remember getting up for this game because of g hill and he didn't disappoint. Even rocked his filas that year.

Thorpe dunking the ball all the time like 10 times oh god

People sleep on Grant

My teams is lakeshow but that's vintage Grant hill!

SUPERSTAR IN CURRENT ERA (FULL ILLEGAL SCREENS)

Could of been top 10 all time.

How many times lol that Hill Thorpe connection lol.

grant hill was spectacular. bummer we couldn’t see kobe’s highlights from this game. saw a lower quality video of this game and they were going back and forth.

Ay just as i was born 😆

What Year Was This?

welcome to LA!!!

Imagine the 1992 Olympic Mens Basketball team if they didn't allow pros PG-Hardaway, Hurley SG-Hill, Houston SF-Mashburn, Rogers PF-Webber, Laettner C-O'Neal, Montross Unbeatable

He was the original successor to MJ. The Chosen One!

His game reminds me more of Kawhi

If Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway never got hurt we would be talking about them in the goat debate

Grant Hill's injuries kept him from being a Champion. The Duke Curse!

One of my favorites of all time. Wish i wasn’t a baby when he was in his prime

It's down to Grant Hill and Kyrie as the best players Coach K ever had

If he had a killer edge (ala Kobe or Mike) and didnt have all those injuries he would be top 5 all time. Also he ran the pick n roll like he was Steve Nash that night. Amazing player.

How many dunks did Thorpe have in this game

This video is 70% Hill highlights and 30% Thorpe's one hand dunk

Can you do one or a couple Glen “Big Dog” Robinson throwbacks??? & Ray Allen Milwaukee Bucks @houseofhighlights

Wish he could have enjoyed a healthy 12 years. He was the bridge from Jordan to Kobe and to Lebron and would have cleaned up in those years

Cade Cunningham is literally Grant Hill

1:21 you're welcome

Pistons need to tank this year to get a shot at a solid draft pick. We desperately need a star again.

This dude had handles and slashing to the bucket like a Curry, Jordan/Kobe type footwork (fadeaways/hesitation [headfakes] one dribble pull up), and court vision/basketball IQ compared to a Lebron or Magic. All of those combined with efficiency.. he could have been one hell of a great.

Damn how many dunks did he have ?

At least he still HOF bound

"One of the Lakers went uo and came down on his back. I think it was Kobe" yeah Kobe and White guy Travis Knight are practically twins. Crazy this was 97 but the commentary guys and video seem like the 80s.

Even Chick had to recognize...

In 96-97, Grant Hill was my favourite player. He was not the MVP cuz Detroit could not play the NBA finals

He was so much better than prime Pippen at this time

hes liks SGA

looking alot like LeBron

That was an oddly over extended shot of young Tyra.

Savage. Ate Kobe, Eddie Jones and Robert Horry’s lunch. Lebron before Lebron.

Too bad if wasn’t for that ankle injury, he could have made it on the first ballot hall of fame and Fila would still be a well known sports apparel. :)

Always nervous when he's playing in the suns againts the wolves cause he'll drain those j's back then. Never knew he was this great. Great vid... Any KG highlights?? Lol

Grant hill the first nigga “ when your girl come to your game”

He was like a 6'8 Giannis.

injuries can stop any talent

would have gone down a top 10 player all time

I hear Lawrence Tanter.

Too fast too strong, can do all things

Only if he would’ve never gotten injured man 😔
