http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22955081/steve-nash-jason-kidd-grant-hill-inducted-basketball-hall-fameThree players who played for the Magic at some point in their career are in the HOF. That would be Patrick Ewing, Shaq and T-Mac.
And now Grant Hill aka the man who signed a 7 yr $93 million S&T deal with the Magic only to play less than 3 seasons of them while collecting that check(I kid I kid, kind of) will join them in the Hall of Fame. Hill will be joined by Steve Nash and Jason Kidd in the 2018 HOF class.
Well deserved! Not only was Grant a great player, but also a great person. It's terrible that injuries hampered his career. When the GOAT retired for a second time, and before the ankle injury, many considered Hill the best player in the NBA.
Congrats Grant!!

Still mad at him so I'll just cross my arms in disagreement and mumble to myself.

Dominique Wilkins is another HOFer who had a short stint with the Magic.

How does Grant Hill get in the damn HOF? He had a couple of allstar seasons in Detroit and then was injured until he was past his prime. Was it solely on his college career?

Whose uniform did Tracy wear? I thought I read he was going in as both Orlando and Houston?

7x NBA All Star(same amount as T-Mac who was elected in last year), 1x All NBA Team, 4x All NBA 2nd Team, NBA Co-ROY 1995, NBA All Rookie First Team
Over 17,000 points scored, over 6,000 rebounds, over 4,000 assists
Won a Gold Medal in 1996 Summer Olympics with Team USA. Won Bronze in 1991 Pan America Games with Team USA(that was after his Fresham season at Duke).
Too me that looks more than, " Just a couple of All Star seasons".

True, but in the thread title it says former Magic player. He was our coach.
