Shaq was a rookie. He sure as hell wasn't fat. Don't ever try to compare the strength of Grant Hill with Shaq man.
Shaq has always been fat...Less as a rookie and when he was at LSU---he has never been cut (a la Motumbo).
I agree that Grant doesn't have the strength that Shaq does. But Grant's Dunk when Duke won the NCAA's (it was on the cover of Sports Illustrated) he could certainly get up there.
haha, grant hill is made of glass, hes been injured for 80% of his 'career', all he does is play the first 20 games of the regular season then breaks his ankle and proceeds to sit out the rest of the season and collect his millions for just being grant hill, why this guy is still highly regarded is completely beyond me.
Quite true, kinda of a disappointment I was waiting for him, Bobby Hurley, and Jason Williams from Duke to blow up...Something must be up with the Blue Devil Karma. Because all the players that were outstanding on Duke's teams either get seriously injured right before going into the NBA, or in Grant's case after they enter in the NBA.
The guy is highly regarded because 1.) He is from Duke, and smart as hell 2.) he is no trouble-maker 3.) Grant does alot for the Balt-Wash community and the community around him. I saw him at my Alma mater, Morgan State, he and his wife had an exhibit at the Fine Arts building a couple of years ago. I was great.
Shaq was CLEARLY TRYING TO BRING THE BASKET DOWN by holding on...LAME - he was just imitating the original, Chocolate Thunder AKA Darryl Dawkins..!
Agreed.
