Grant Hill Appreciation Thread

Yes, I'm doing the appreciation thread for my favorite player.

Classy guy, great player, competitor and leader. He'll be missed and I hope to see him in our front office some day. At least he's going to a team where I can cheer for him.

Thank you Grant.

Love him, but it was time for him to go. Hope he stays healthy.

Classy move, I like how he doesn't take the easy way out.

Hopefully he wins the pacific division next season

To me, Hill can be summed up in one word.

Boss.

I don't care how long he has played fo the suns, maybe less than others, but he is my number one choice for the ring of honor. great player, great person, i wish him all the best in the world.

Grant Hill is a Leader of Men, in every sense of the phrase. Even if he never wins a ring, he is a champion to me.

Fare thee well, Mr. Hill. I think you joined our squad just one season too late....but you gave us 5 amazing years.

I hope you take down Kobe and that Canadian guy.

Not only one of my favorite Suns, but favorite players in general.

Thanks Grant - for signing with us and staying with us and for all of the tough defensive assignments we gave you and for some of my favorite Suns' dunks of all time!

which dunk?

He is a greater person than he is a basketball player; and he's an amazing basketball player!

There are few people in the world you can say that pretty much everyone likes. Grant Hill is one of those people.

Thank you Mr Hill for all the great games and battles with us. It was a real pleasure.
One of my favourites players of all time.

I wondr if Grant picked the Clippers so he could be closer to Nash in LA. Also a nice little rivalry could be brewing up among those two...

I'm really not sure what to say.

Loved the guy, will always be one of my favorite Players of all time. I would love to see him on our coaching staff in a few years or our front office.

Man, I love this guy. We're losing a big part our identity.

You'll be missed Grant. Thank you for all your time here in Phoenix and hope can remain healthy and do some damage with your new team. Good luck to you.

Wish we could have had you in your early 20's Grant.

Good luck in LA
