Hill's playing age 

Post#1 » by jazzy_jeff » Sun Feb 1, 2009 6:08 am

After being able to watch the last two Suns games in person, I was blown away with Grant Hill's athleticism. His sweeping drives, his dunks, he looked like a 20-something out there.

I've always thought that with all his injuries, his body was closer to 40 than his birth certificate says.
But now I wonder, being he played so few games all those seasons, maybe he has such significantly less wear-and-tear on his body that he's actually more like a 32-year-old in a 37-year-old's body.

That dunk tonight was pretty sick.

Grant Hill, safe to say, is currently my favorite Suns player. =] Used to be Amare, but he's sucking monkey balls right now...

Hill is playing great; I feel bad for him because he deserves a lot better than this mess created by Kerr and Porter.

Kerr has ruined the team and Porter is a horrible coach.

He's not the only one who deserves better

as PHX fans, you have to appreciate everything that GHill does for this team. Hope he comes back another year, but with Kerr & Porter he might as well go somewhere else & win it.

I'd give Hill another two years using the bi-annual exception. I think that's what we gave him two years ago so we can use it again this offseason.
