Michael Jordan vs Grant Hill HOF DUEL Highlights (1997.04.13) - 45pts Combine! Battle in Palace!

[@disuser-lp3qv1tm8f]

Grant Hill was a combination of Jordan talent and will power and Tim Duncan humbleness and fundamental soundness. He was very special and would have easily reached all-time greatness if not for his injuries. Still one of the best.

[@Michigan_dad]

Nah man he was a better version of Pippen. Twice the player Pippen was. He would have been the face of the league after Jordan if he didn’t get hurt.

[@dimvalsgames9721]

For me, Grant will always be one of the best players of all time!! Even if he played with his full potential for 3 - 5 years maybe less because of the freaking injuries!! So fast he could drive for the layup or dunk he could shoot the ball an awesome all-around player with a dozen of rebounds and assists in his games I thought back then that he was the hair to the Air MJ did not happen but that first year in Detroit Grant was huge!!👌👌👌👌👍👍👏👏🙌🙌🏀🏀🏀🏀

GRANT HILL WAS KILLING THE PIPPEN, so just to show ppl who swear that Rodman/Jordan/ Pippin would just lock up every player in today's game. Grant Hill was a precursor to SF/wing players of today (Tmac/lebron/Kobe/Kahwi/PG/KD/Booker etc)

If Lebron had to play back then, he woulda have HAD adjust mentally, point blank, ONCE even slightly adjusted, Rodman or no one else back then woulda stopped him Kobe or KD.

James Harden with his SUPER reliance on foul calls and free throws would not have near the impact he has.

Dude. How are you going to take such a great video of such an amazing basketball player like Grant Hill and ruin it by making a comment that is completely inaccurate, dumb and lazy. Grant Hill was amazing and had one of if not THE best "cross over into a dunk" of all time. But to say that he was as unstoppable as anyone who ever played the game???? He never even took his team to a conference finals yet alone the finals and I know it's a team sport but as unstoppable as Shaq? Kareem? Jordan? LBJ? You are out of your gourd nephew.

[@rashb3994]

Yeah I know what you mean. There's something about Grant where he seems better than LeBron on some level individually or more fun to watch.. It might be his skill level in terms of moves to the basket. He's also very graceful to watch, will pass the ball sooner to a teammate. He also hustles more and really pushes it.

[@sportschannel3637]

@@rashb3994 It's good to find comments like these. Do you know the biggest difference between Grant Hill and Lebron? Peak Hill didn't play in the NBA post 2005, with all the rules changes that favored the offense. Had it happened, his stats would have been immense and the public's perception of his game would have been different. Much more considered. Hill was a better infiltrator than Lebron. More agile, better off the dribble, more elusive, more fun to watch. Yes, better than Lebron in what is Lebron's fort. In fact, several were (Jordan, Wilkins, Thompson, etc.), but they just weren't lucky enough to play at the right time. In today's NBA pussy. Another detail in all that is video that you see of Hill x Bulls: - Hill always destroys Pippen. Pippen was a great player, a great defender. I cheered for the Bulls. Since the 80s. I've loved Pippen, but the truth is that God Pippen only exists in Jordan haters' minds. Even as a defender, Pippen didn't have the facility to defend against some types of players. Sorry my english, it's not my native language. Ah, about the video duel, this time Grant Hill won the GOAT by a wide margin. But it was mid-April, the minds and efforts of the Bulls and Jordan were already focused on the playoffs.

Jordan was always talking trash but especially to his in state collegiate rival Blue Devils. At the 3:15 mark when Jordan had a turnover it looks like he said something to Hill that apparently got him fired up. Hill was a strong, nimble 1/2 and really an overmatch for Jordan in this game. On any given night he or Penny Hardaway could outplay Jordan head to head with their skill sets they had. Succubus to injuries was their downfall.

+Gene Henderson In career Head-2-Head match-ups MJ: 27/5/7 > Penny: 19/3/3 MJ 27/7/6 > G. Hill: 19/6/9 Whenever it comes to games against MJ, everyone always looks to pub up the opposing player by highlighting what they did in a FEW instances, in order to make 'em look better than what they might have actually been. But those instances ARE NOT indicative of what they CONSISTENTLY did against him.
