If grant hill didnt drink spite, would he have maintained his Detroit form and gone on to be a hall of famer and never got injured? Discuss

He probably stopped drinking Sprite and that's the reason of his injuries and decline. Look at Caron Butler, he fought his Mountain Dew addiction, and now he's playing his worst season in five years.

I don't know if he was a spokesman, but he was addicted to MD.

I think you are barking up the wrong sponsorship tree... maybe it was the Fila's.

C-webb didn't become an all NBA guy until after his stint with fila, Stack never reached his potential, Mash had his injuries too.

Webber, Mash and Hill all made the top 10 significant injuries of the decade and all wore Fila's at some point, Coincidence?

Also, I wore a pair of G. Hills back in the day and I never became the all nba player I envisioned... Damn Fila's!

Um, unless he was drinking an insane amount of sprite I don't see how you can blame his injuries on sprite.
If I recall it was from playing on an injured ankle during the playoffs which made the problem much worse.

I wasn't sure what the OP was referring to but I was guessing he was insinuating that drinking sprite made his bones weaker thus leading to his injuries in Orlando. Whatever the case it's a stupid post.
