Grant Hill on the Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 7/26/24

[@gfor3]

Man did they dance around that question lol. Jaylen brown would be incredible on ball pressure too

[@cloverraven]

Thank you for having Grant on.

[@paesano285]

Come on Grant! Answer the questions truthfully!

[@rudini313]

Love Grant Hill but the exact argument he made for White can be the same for Brown. Brown plays great defense and has the size to defend guards and forwards. The Conference Finals and Finals MVP not being on the team is not cool at all. That’s like the League MVP Jokic not being on the Serbian team.

[@PoppaFigs]

Calling BS with comments on Jaylen Brown. He is a great all around player who knows to fit on a team. Whatever Derick White can do Jaylen Brown could offer more!!

[@richardsong7732]

grant is such a good politician. i know it cus i can’t trust a word he says

[@DavidBagga]

Loved grant hill as a player but I think it’s complete BS for the answer he gave regarding Jaylen brown. The finals MVP can’t get on team USA? Makes 0 sense and it’s disappointing 🤔 #MakeItMakeSense

[@Chalk89]

I used to think the Jaylen Brown bias was made up by his fans. After this, something is definitely legitimate with this bias. I think it’s his free-thinking, uncontrolled attitude that is really disliked.

[@DavidBagga]

@@Chalk89 100%. If they win gold we’re gonna look back in 10 years and look at JB how we look at Isaiah Thomas being snubbed from the dream team. Unfortunate all around

[@Heraclitean]

The team needed role players, not more stars.

[@scotte2177]

[@NefisaUK]

He’s so uncomfortable repeating his pre rehearsed script re. Jaylen Brown.

[@NefisaUK]

I spoke to his agent…. Hahaha y u so nervous grant? Eyes darting everywhere. U didnt even have the courage to call him directly? That’s a lot of respect you showing to the finals MVP from the current champions. Seeing right through you.

[@TomDelayBeats]

Grant lying thru his teeth about Jaylen.

[@pfunk1992]

It actually makes sense

[@toddmiller2239]

Grant Hill dodged the question as to why European players are developing over American players. Every coach in the country can answer this question. But he dodges it. How sad. We recruit athletes while Europe develops basketball players. It's been going on for over 40 years and now because of AAU basketball these players play games and don't develop their skills. I could write a thesis on this. It is so sad.

[@cptsketch13]

Grant is so full of shit about the jaylen situation. Nike must pay really well lol

[@toddm9501]

What a refreshing new guest from ol Dem dan. What's it been. 48 or 72 hours.

[@peterwinkler4934]

Yeah, it probably should have been Brown instead of White, but the team needed another lockdown perimeter defensive player and White certainly fits that bill. The full roster as constructed is outstanding, and Grant certainly deserves good credit for that. The bigger problem for the US internationally in recent years has been the lack of interior quality and depth, but with Embiid (who looked much better today against the Serbs than he looked in the exhibition games, Bam and AD, it looks like that problem has been solved. It was great to see KD come in and light up the Serbs dramatically, and with a healthy KD and the rest of that cast, the US is not going to lose in this Olympics.

[@scotte2177]

Barkley on next.. here we go

[@ovgb222]

When is Reggie Miller back on the show?

[@evanreakes]

Thank you for the coverage. Rather this than anything TNT and NBA.

[@mourinho966]

From sprite cowboy..to this...

[@danielmarbella1197]

Grant Hill put the finger on the main issues USA team has to face on this Olympics. In one side, players are not prepared for FIBA offensive schemes & tactics. And in the other hand, NBA players are not prepared for FIBA physicality and tougher defense schemes. In my opinion, Steve Kerr is not the trainer to face those challenges. He already lost the last worlds, and was a member of the unsuccessful Popovich era. In my opinion, USA team wil get a bronce medal. The times when it was enough to have the most skill team to win, is part of the past.

[@ethangildone865]

If he doesn’t know if it was before or after Jaylens tweets then that means it was after. Which also means he didn’t contact his agent until after the decision was already made public and he received the backlash for it. Bad business.

[@jamalshah2432]

Grant Hill is lying through his teeth, and yes omitting information is still lying. And if he's not lying and it's only "a basketball decision" then he's completely incompetent and anyway you slice it, he should be fired.

[@trustdaprocess5707]

Get your Grant Hill 🧢's over here!!!!!!🤥

[@kofiashiboe-mensah686]

But Jalen can do what White brings. He guarded Kyrie and Luka etc

[@kaylynalexander]

After just watching them blow out Serbia and Tatum playing like less than 10 mins . I truly DGAF that Brown is off the team

[@willingexile3374]

They picked the team for their resumes and not for fit, and to appease the American public following the embarrassment of the FIBA WC in 2023. The politics of it is that the older players like LeBron, Curry, and Durant have to receive some carte blanche. The players themselves have to make the attitude adjustment that they cannot out-talent the competition or treat the Olympics like an All-Star game. The world has caught up in preparation and coaching. The American talent pool for basketball is the deepest and will continue at its level for a long time, but how that talent is developed for competition is the question.

[@MaryJanesLounge]

Fraud. Jaylen should have been on the team before Kawhi left. Haliburton somehow snuck onto this roster. Stole his all nba spot too btw 🤙

[@PHN-2024]

WHITE is Better than BROWN.

[@Chalk89]

I don’t want to pretend that I watch the NBA religiously. I will say that the Halliburton admiration is odd. He’s OK defensively, a real gunner on offense. No way I’d take that over Brown.

[@DJ-gz8bs]

Gunner? Y'all really don't watch the games. He led the league in assists and can distribute while keeping the team playing at a fast pace. That's kind of the point guards' job in the modern game

[@Chalk89]

@@DJ-gz8bs Hence I said, "I don’t want to pretend that I watch the NBA religiously..." I made it clear that I'm not spectating him or the league on a nightly basis. I watched a few of his playoff games where he did a lot of shooting. Also, kudos to him on the assists.

[@MrMeriloto]

I'm afraid Grant Hill has lost ALL of his credibility by bringing to the team a Nevada native like Embiid (and his poetic accent, huh?!), and leaving outside Jaylen Brown (or others equally eligible). Pathetic, sad and embarrassing.

[@friedrice7]

wut?

[@8mathdaddy]

White is a role player. Role players don't belong on any dream team.

[@NefisaUK]

Exactly, great players can be role players. Grant Hill is such a phony faker, comments here prove that everyone can see it.

[@komitkazi]

We haven't had a dream team since 92. You don't understand the need for role players and think all stars will automatically gel and accept their "role" as maybe not being THE focal point, to the detriment of the TEAMS goal.
