I came across a couple stories on Mr Hill this morning, here and here.
It looks as though he'll be back this season and from the sounds of it will be in good shape..
Well im hope he gets up and can play at least as well as a couple of seasons ago... he was the best all-round in the L when he was with the pistons, a real shame to see him hobble around the hardwood, even more of a shame that the majority of the time he has been sitting in stands, in one of those new suits
Hopefully the problem with the sports hernia is fixed. Last season it wasnt a problem with the ankle at all .. that's fine now.
Doctors now say Hill tore muscles and the lining of the lower abdomen because he was compensating on an ankle that has had more work done on it than Kenny Rogers' face. Because the ankle joint was basically fused together -- after three surgeries failed to repair the crack along the inside of the ankle with screws and metal plates -- Hill's gait changed dramatically. And that ultimately led to the problem that limited him to just 21 games last season.
As much as I love Hill... I can't see another All-Star start... although every season Hill has played more than 50 games hes been an All-Star, the Magic may (and probably should) bring him off the bench.
At least until he proves he can stay on the court without disrupting the team every week or so...
If hes off the bench, it wont matter as much if he goes down again, and with the way Hedo played at the tail end of last season, hes earned the spot.
god i just want him to win a playoff series for ONCE.......has never done it in the NBA.......almost the KG factor till 2004 he got past the first round...lets go! Grant...God? anyone?.....let him just win.....must be so frustrating for him since college the whole winning factor....its been like 13 years since he has won lol (except the 96 Olympics)

TheGlyde........yeah OK..........im sure SHAQ didnt care too much when he left the Magic haha....now has 4 Rings!...1 with the HEAT "Apparently their State Rival"....
hmm honestly i dont think Hill is an All-star anymore.....if he does make the all-star team it will be becuase of the fans that vote him in as a starter...he is popular.....you see "Grant Hill" on the ballot and think...awww im voting for Hill!....he isnt the same player anymore....not to me....but it would be nice to see him have some good seasons to end his career...i hope he does well but im not expecting him to be off the charts or anything
Its all about health... in 04-05 he was a 20/5/3 player shooting over 50% from the floor, and i think he could get back to that if healthy... which is the big thing isnt it.
Those kind of numbers and a decent team season could get him in. The thing is, he might be getting on in years, but he has a lot less mileage on his body because hes only played 100 or so games out of the last 500...
So if lighting strikes and he actually is healthy, i wouldnt ever count him out.
