Grant Henry Hill (born October 5, 1972 in Dallas,
Texas) is a NBA basketball player who currently
plays for the Orlando Magic.

He was born in Dallas while his father Calvin, a
Yale graduate, was starring as a running back for
the Dallas Cowboys, winning the Offensive Rookie
of the Year Award in 1969. His mother Janet is a
Wellesley graduate who shared a suite with Hillary
Clinton when both were freshmen there. After his
father\'s NFL career ended, the family settled in
Reston, Virginia, where Grant became a high-school
superstar at South Lakes High School. He then
played four years at Duke University, winning
national titles in 1991 and 1992 and losing in the
championship game in 1994.

Grant Hill was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with
the third pick in the NBA Draft after graduating
from Duke in 1994. In his first season, Hill
averaged 19.9 points, 5.0 assists, 6.4 rebounds
and 1.77 steals per game, sharing NBA Rookie the
Year honors with Jason Kidd. Along with being
named to the all-NBA first team in 1997, Hill also
regularly played in the NBA All-Star Game. He also
won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in
Atlanta as a member of the U.S. Men\'s Basketball
Team.

However, despite Hill\'s accomplishments in
Detroit, the Pistons never made it far in the
playoffs. In 2000, Grant Hill was traded to the
Orlando Magic for Chucky Atkins and Ben Wallace.
The Magic hoped he would team up with fellow
superstar Tracy McGrady, who had been recently
acquired from the Toronto Raptors, to return
Orlando among the NBA elite. But Hill has been
hampered by ankle injuries ever since his arrival
in Orlando, playing in only four games in his
first season with the Magic, 14 games in his
second and 29 in his third. He was forced to sit
out his entire fourth year with Orlando
(2003-04).

But the 2004-05 season saw a return to the old
Grant Hill who was so popular earlier in his
career. Hill, though hampered by a bruised shin
that caused him to miss several games, started and
played 64 games f
