Disappointing career, though he did more than Penny.
Wished he won a chip in the end but oh well. He should be a reminder to ALL young budding superstars to be careful with injuries and NEVER rush back.

lol'd. Grant Hill was my favourite NBA player growing up and I followed him closely throughout his career. It's crazy that his retirement announcement is coming at 40 years old in 2013. He could've easily made this announcement over a decade ago with all the injury setbacks he had then.

Glad to see he was able to finish his career injury-free for the most part. The NBA will miss Grant Hill.
